"Mercer 113 is a good restaurant. I had the rib-eye, which was nicely prepared. The bartender needs a little work because that lemon drop wasn't that good. Overall, a good restaurant to try out."

"Went to this restaurant for the first time and I love the style! The cocktail list was awesome. I had the salmon and it was honestly the best salmon I've ever had! My girlfriends had a blast and we didn't feel rushed… We hung out for a few hours talking and having drinks. It was the perfect start to our evening. We will definitely be coming back! :)"

"Decided to try Mercer out and glad I did. They have changed their menu and the food combinations are memorable. I had the Halibut which was like candy, topped with asparagus and a engaging sauce. For my side there were three a sweet potato medallions cooked just right.

My server Kita was great and attended to our needs.

Will return and enjoy more of Mercer's delights."

"I have no intentions of returning due to poor customer service. Our server never said thank you or your welcome, rarely smiled or even spoke to us, and dull. When we order our food she asked what we wanted on the side, we asked what our options were because we missed the little writing, and she says "there" while pointing at the menu. I'm sorry, but she could've said the couple option outloud so that everyone could hear. I chose a side salad and asked what dressings they had (those were not listed) and her next response was we have everything. I said, "Okay, then I'll have raspberry vinigrette." She responds by saying they don't have that and doesn't even follow with options. Am I suppose to play a guessing game...?"

"We had great food, and our server was attentive. But, the hostess was very rude and basically kicked us out of our table and got snippy with me when I said I was not happy about this since we had just bought another round. I did speak with the manager, and he gave us a new smaller table (our group had started to shrink) and a round of shots. He did apologize for the hostess' handling of the situation. But, all in all I don't think any of us will return after the way we were treated."

"Ok, but not great. Was surpised that it was not super packed on a Saturday night for dinner. Looks like it more of a lounge, than just a restaurant. Which is fine. Menu was scaled back and good but not great. Overall it was just a good experience..."

"Our waitress wasn't attentive or really interested in helping us throughout the meal. My friend's steak was rare when she asked for medium well. We waited 10 minutes then had to flg her down to send it back. She had no idea what we ordered to seperate our bills. The food was ok and the restaurant had a great look but was very loud (music). I don't think we'll be going back."

"Went to Mercers as a last-minute Valentines dinner with a friend. Food and drinks were great, but was not an ideal dining option for a party of two. Much better as a group spot for a casual late evening dinner and/or drinks."
