   Overall enjoyable experience. Food was delicious! Portions were HUGE! They had a limited Valentine’s Day menu so couldn’t order what I typically get. But very good none-the-less. Service was excellent (Gladys)! Only minor complaint was we were seated at a corner table next to the doors to the kitchen and they were constantly flapping as busy wait staff were going in and out. I almost got hit by one as we were being seated.

   Made a rookie mistake by going out for Valentine’s Day. We eat here quite often matter of fact we had the best steak and meal ever a couple months ago.

   The server was hard to find. Took too long to bring food. Our food was cold.

   First time dining at Merrill & Houston’s. It was outstanding. The service was phenomenal, the food was delicious and the ambiance was perfect. Reasonable prices for quality and amount of food you receive. I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend.

   Food and service was excellent. A bit pricey, but for special occasions, such as my Daughter's birthday it was great. Unforunately she lost her gold,diamondand onyx ring there. Not sure if outside the restaurant or inside. Please if you find a ring like this, contact me as soon as possible. Thank you for your service and help. Denise Bethe

   Such a great meal! Started with the calamari, which was cooked perfectly, then continued to the 8 Oz filet, which just melted in your mouth. The scalloped potatoes, which normally i would not order, were amazing! My husband had the porterhouse, which he did the blue cheese on top. Holy cow, this was amazing! tender and seasoned well. We will definitely be back!
