I went for dinner with a friend last night. We both had the tomato fennel soup and it was perfect! I also had the Chocolate Molten Cake.. yum! Even the presentation was fabulous. After dinner, we headed down to see what the cigar lounge was all about. It was really great! We listened to live Jazz and relaxed on their super comfortable chairs. Definitely coming back soon!

Everything here is delicious! My goat cheese salad was wonderful - just the right amount of dressing and flavor ! For my main entree, I ordered the filet mignon. The meat was absolutely perfect and the sauce was incredible. And of course who can pass up dessert? I highly recommend the Tiramisu.

Merchants is a lot of hype. I love trying new foods and am open to a lot of new things, but I felt Merchants just tried too hard to be different with their menu. It seemed like the menu was selected to extract a reaction of "oooh, that's so weird and exotic". Their lobster shooter were good, but not amazing. If you like lobster, most lobster you have is going to be good. My shrimp salad was well prepared, but it seemed to have a lot of weird ingredients added to it more than anything. The wait staff was friendly, but overly attentive and not genuine. There was definitely a see and be seen vibe to the whole place. Would I try Merchants again? Sure. As long as someone else is paying the tab.
