Merchant Madison offers a mixed dining experience. While the whiskey sours and cheese curds receive praise, the Bibb lettuce salad and steak frites fall short. However, the Saturday brunch on the patio is described as beautiful and delicious, with highlights like the farmers market omelette and shrimp cake benedict. Guests note limited entree choices and an upfront reservation fee, which did not fully deliver on the promised offerings. Recent reviews highlight the friendly staff, accommodating service, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. The brunch experience is especially praised for its relaxed yet stylish vibe, with standout items like beignets, which are hot, airy, and dusted with powdered sugar. The menu offers a thoughtful blend of comfort and creativity, including flavorful vegetarian options and enjoyable mocktails. Food and drinks are consistently well-received, and service is attentive and enthusiastic. Although the restaurant can be noisy during busy times, guests enjoy the overall hospitality and quality, making it a popular spot for both locals and visitors.
