    Great place with delicious food and friendly wait staff. I sent a message when I booked the reservation telling them that it was my daughter's birthday, and they surprised us with a small cake after our dinner! Will definitely return.

    The mercantile is usually a fantastic restaurant overall with attentive service, a great atmosphere, and good food, today was a different situation. The waitress only appeared 3 times in 2 hours and we saw multiple different waitresses including even the manager. The waitress was rude, the service was slow and we were overcharged. We sat down for 25 mins until the waitress arrived to gibe us water. When we overcharged we tried to politely argue, and she claimed she was correct. I was charged for a 3rd meal for my extra chicken as opposed to the waitress simply adding the chicken onto the existing ticket.
