    Great time at 220. We had reservations but we asked just to sit at the bar and we had Tamara. The sweetest bartender. She knew her menu like the back of her hand. She recommended the cowboy ribeye and a bunch of sides. Everything was delicious.

    I was shocked to find out that the food at 220. Merrill is possibly the worst I’ve ever had in the world. The staff was very nice about taking the dishes back and I paid the bill, but there’s no way I would ever return. The food was horrible.
