What Jimmy G 2nd doesn't like about Merchant Tavern:
Brunch was just about ok. Meal was quite messy to eat and a little bland for the price. For a Raymond's brand I thought it would be better. Service was sub par very little interaction...server did not seem like she wanted to be there. No cappuccino as machine was broken. Overall, not what we were expecting for the price. Thanks for listening View all feedback. What OpenTable Diner likes about Merchant Tavern:
We came for our anniversary dinner, and had absolutely the best meal of our lives. Everything was flawlessly executed. The service was professional, fast, and accommodating, despite a completely full room. If we had to recommend just one menu item, it would be the tuna crudo. So creative and beautiful. It was a perfect start to a perfect meal. View all feedback.

Loved the charcuterie board. Andrew was a great server, all the servers helped one another. I was very impressed and would return in a heart beat.
Food was excellent. Service mmm. Been there 3 times. You’ve cornered the market on the “good old fashioned snooty waiter”.
