The cocktails were fantastic. The food was just “ok” for the price. I ordered the steak sandwich and was disappointed in the quantity of meat vs the amount of bread there was. The atmosphere was unique and our service was fabulous. They were launching a new menu, so I’m sure they were just ironing out a few kinks.

Was really excited to finally try Mertens. And after a friend couple had poor service on Valentine’s Day we still kept our date. Also read many poor reviews. It was just as poor. Hostess was not friendly. They were out of many items on menu. Very slow service for almost empty restaurant. Really bummed.

This was our first time and we won’t return. The service was EXTREMELY slow. We ordered an appetizer and then were told the kitchen didn’t prep it from last night so it wasn’t available. We ordered dinner and two items we ordered were not available and the server had to come back and tell us. We were charged for sauce the waitress suggested for our appetizer. There was an 18% gratuity already added to the bill for 5 people?!? The food was average at best. WAY WAY overpriced for the service, food, portions and overall experience. We would not return nor suggest this restaurant to anyone else. There was no manager in sight to address any concerns.

Was a disappointing experience. We waited for a long time before we were greeted by a server. The bartender was busy chatting while we waited for our drinks. The food was cold and overpriced. Our waiter was friendly but inexperienced. I don’t plan to go back.

Worst restaurant I’ve been to in years. The apps were disgusting and the audacity to charge $67 for that “steak” is a joke. Even the server seemed disappointed in his own restaurant.

Not the best. 250 on dinner and drinks - both steaks were not cooked to the temperature requested. Everything came out cold and looked very unappealing. I’ve never wrote a review in my life, but do yourself a favor and spend the money elsewhere. After the experience we had, I felt obligated to steer people away.
