The Merchant is a big space that served for more than a century as a leather store. We've brought in high-top tables near the windows ... a 40-foot bar on one side of the room … and more formal dining spots on the opposite side. We have a private dining room in back, and another private dining room downstairs. For our menu, we make almost all of our fare from scratch. Executive chef Ignacio Lopez previously worked at both Beat Hotel in Cambridge and Tuscan Kitchen in Burlington. Chef Lopez cures and smokes all the meat in house. Our burger is top-notch, as are other dishes like house-made Gnochhi, Organic Chicken Milanaise and Steak Frites. The Merchant serves salads, sandwiches ($15-$21), and more for the lunch rush. And for dinner, we are a full-service brasserie (with most entrees ranging from $25-$30).

Wonderful service, beautiful decor, very quiet and well-chosen background music. The first courses were wonderful - - the beat salad and the little squares that were made of potato -- they were really delicious. But the Alaskan char was a little odd..... it didn't taste completely fresh, and the dish was not interesting, just the fish and some ornaments on top. I don't mean to complain, but hope this feedback is helpful. Very nice to have this restaurant in the neighborhood. Hope 2025 brings good things and good customers.
