   We were gathering for my wife’s birthday. This was the first time we were here for brunch. There was something for everyone. Everything was delicious. By the time we were finished, there was no room for dessert and we were all happily satiated. Since we didn’t order dessert, they surprised us with a glass of whipped cream and a fiery “sparkler” and we joined them in singing Happy Birthday.

   We visited for dinner after making a reservation some 2-3 hours prior to our selected time. Our waitress was friendly and checked in on us a couple of times during our meal and that wasn't easy given the number of tables she was handling We split a side salad and an order of the fried mozzarella. The side salad was small but plenty for us given that we were sharing that and the mozzarella. The salad was good: the mozzarella was outstanding. We ordered the eggplant lasagna and I ordered beef ragu, a flavorful dish with some shredded beef, pasta and cheese. Delicious. We brought portions of our dinner home. It was a very good experience and we will be back.

   We enjoyed a very nice brunch out on the patio. The food and service were excellent. Only one negative, the total bill is for using a credit card. At the very bottom of the check it says to ask for the cash price. That line is easily missed.

   Hi Sheila, thank you so much for your review. We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed your brunch and had excellent food and service! We sincerely appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We completely understand your concern regarding the final bill and apologize for the miscommunication. During Covid, we began offering a cash discount and we have continued to do so since then. Our menu pricing is reflective of the cost of goods and does not include a fee for credit cards however, we understand this can be confusing and we do expect our team to not only offer but explain our cash discount. We will make sure to address this with them moving forward to ensure that all guests are fully informed. Thank you again for your feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!

   Every time we go to Mercato's, it never disappoints. The drinks are amazing. The blonde bartender is the go too! The skirt steak is our favorite that we keep coming back for!

   Mercados is one of my favorite local restaurants. I recommend the salads and the shrimp dish but never had a bad meal there so you can’t lose!

   The food was great - crab crusted tilapia with asparagus and risotto; buffalo chicken egg rolls appetizers could be a meal itself; pasta with creamy Gorgonzola, sausage, spinach. All yummy.

   Well prepared food provided in very generous portions. Lunch menu is fairly limited but provides sufficient selections for an enjoyable meal.

   I visited this Italian restaurant for the first time a few days ago and had such a great experience that I had to come back. It absolutely lived up to my expectations the second time around. I ordered the Pollo Asparagi again and it was just as outstanding as the first time. The service is top-notch, Breslynn and Zach were fantastic and manager Rob made sure everything was perfect. The only thing that could make the atmosphere even better is a DJ on a Friday or Saturday night, but that’s just a small detail. I can’t wait to bring friends next time to share this amazing experience!
