   I had high hopes for this restaurant based on its ambiance and reputation, but unfortunately, our experience fell short in several ways. We visited as a party of seven, and to our surprise, we were seated in a booth that we had to share with another family. This made for a very cramped and uncomfortable dining experience. The service also left much to be desired. Our waitress seemed unfamiliar with the menu, which was particularly disappointing given that I have celiac disease and rely on knowledgeable staff to guide me toward safe options. To add to this, drinks were forgotten, and it took 20 minutes before I had to remind them. Finally, the pricing was astonishingly high for what was offered. For example, a glass of house wine was $20, which felt excessive for what is usually a reasonably priced option. While the atmosphere was pleasant, I expected much better service and attention to detail given the premium pricing. I hope management takes this feedback seriously to improve future customer experiences.

   Hi Cass, I'm so sorry to see that your experience with us didn't live up to our reputation. We would like to acknowledge that our seating arrangements on the night you visited were non-ideal, and we're sorry that you were put in a booth with another couple. We definitely do take this feedback seriously, and it is something that has discussed with our team. We would love if you gave us another opportunity to have a great experience, if you would kindly email us (the email is on our "contact" part of our website), we will figure out a way to make your next visit with us better. Warmly, The Merchant Kitchen

   Great staff.. would go back. The food was great. Some of the dishes a little spicy for my friends.

   Thank you Sanjay for your kind words :). We're glad you had a nice time with your friends, and we can definitely modify some of the dishes to be milder next time. Happy holidays! -The Merchant Kitchen

    Very good and personable service. We were waited on promptly and they went to check on the dource of several items from the chef when asked ( e.g. source of the oysters ) , compact but well curated and delicious menu. We had tuna tartare with fried plantain " tostones" ( very decent portion for 2), and the Dan Dan noodles ( don't miss it !) and Thai fried rice. Both main courses were well balanced deliciously spiced and generous portion. I also had a cocktail called " Smoke and sweet" with a sprecialty mezcal, beet and pineapple juice, lime,mint...think of a mohito jacked up. Outstanding mixologist on staff. Super chef. This restaurant is well worth it's ranking.

    Hi Myrna! Wow! Thank you so much for leaving us such a great review. We're so happy that you enjoyed your dinner and also one of our new winter cocktails. A lot of love, teamwork and workshopping goes into each drink and it seems like it has paid off :) Happy holidays! -The Merchant Kitchen
