    Inattentive service staff. Ordered salad, cauliflower and artichokes and the striped sea bass. The artichokes were under whelming. The cauliflower extremely salty. The fish was delicious and the beet salad. The dessert, profiteroles were like eating bread not a puff pastry- again underwhelmed. Overall a 3 star experience.

    Food was incredibly salty- and I love salt. We were in and out in 48 minutes with a $400 check. Meh.

    Mercer is a small yet lovely space. The service was excellent. We were seated in a section of tables for 2, which was fine except they were right in front of the outside door exposing us to a frequent blast of cold air- not the biggest issue as it’s hard to control that. My real issue was with the value though I understand everything is more expensive these days. I paid $16 for a glass of wine which is fine except the pour was 3 moderate sips. It was a large shot of wine. The tomato and bursts appetizer was an unremarkable slice of tomato quartered and a smear of burrata. I’m not looking for Cheesecake Factory loads of food but …maybe enough burrata to fill a spoon would be nice. The entrees and desserts were excellent. This light meal was $300 with tax and tip. This was not quite fine dining, yet the bill approached that level.

    We appreciate your feedback, Bert. The cold wind was wicked that evening, and we're sorry this affected you. We hope you'll join us again to try our regular menu, and we're glad to know your service was excellent!
