   I really wanted to like this. The bar manager was great, although he was swamped. Our server didn’t seem to know what was going on. We are really patient people but I am not sure I’d go back anytime soon. Drinks were good. Service was not. Food was just ok. I’d probably go back for drinks at the bar only. No fault of the staff at all but there was a large table seated by us which had a really loud, really rude woman who demanded stuff be taken off of her bill. It was gross of her and it just added to the experience being off.

   This is a small place so I thought the service would be better. Really cool looking on the inside and good good. Price for a glass of orange juice for a kid at $6...pass.

   I’ve enjoyed eating here and have also enjoyed drinks at the bar. I was excited to go back and it was very disappointing. The cheese curds (normally awesome) were not good. I ordered the chopped salad which was meager. The glass of wine was MAYBE 4 ounces. Not going back—cost definitely doesn’t equal the value!

   Merchant was very cute and decorated for Nightmare Before Christmas with drinks to go with the theme. Service was attentive and prompt without being overly attentive. We had issues with the level of salt in all of the dishes. The cheese curds, oyster mushroom melt sandwich and the accompanying fries were so salty that I couldn’t eat it. The shrimp cakes were fine but the collards that went with it were also so salty that my friend couldn’t eat them. I wish it wasn’t so because we would have given Merchant a 5.

   Wonderful brunch menu that had a fun play on the movie, Nightmare before Christmas. Drinks were tasty and in cute glasses/cups. Food came out hot and flavourful. Will return. 😁

   We really enjoyed the Nightmare Before Christmas popup. The ambiance was delightful and the themed drinks were delicious! Our meal was also fantastic.

   We had a billing issue that was not corrected very easily or very professionally. This soured the entire dining experience.

   Food was great really enjoyed it! Service was a bit slow and not great - was offered a refill on our drinks and never received it. But overall nice place!

We hope you'll consider giving us another shot soon so we can try and make up for our mistakes :) Cheers!
