    I was wanting to check Merchant bar out. I liked the vibe but the noise level was off the charts. Waited almost an hour for a drink. Food was average. Drink menu was great.

    Food is great but unfortunately not enough servers (existing servers are good). Noise level consistent with other reviews. Reserved a table for 4 but it was actually 4 window seats so not ideal for conversation.

    Really solid food and some excellent cocktails. Kudos to Lindsey for friendly and attentive service and great recommendations, even with a full house. Highly recommend the Sazerac and Cardi Basil. Will be back!

    As always, wonderful food and service. It was a bit louder tonight than the other times we've been there, so it made it a bit harder to hear. Will always keep coming back this is one of our top Wilmington Restaurants.

    The overall experience was great. There was a big party when we went. So it took a very long time for the waitress to come and take our order. The drinks were awesome and food was delicious.
