The Merchant - Boston

That was our second year, after the nutcracker, with children. we chose the merchant after a pleasant experience last year. the ambiente is pleasant and the waiter was friendly. I had the hamburger who was tasty, but the bungalow was stale and began to fall apart shortly after I started eating it. my daughter got the fish chips where she didn't care too much about the dough that was used, reminded me of the dough that was used by Chinese restaurants for their fried garnels. the service was attentive to our nussallergien and were very friendly. it took longer than expected to get our bill, and the restaurant seemed slow. I would go back, but we can try another restaurant next year.

Fantastic place for Thanksgiving lunch. the personal was phenomenal. highly recommended!

The food and drinks were good, but the service was lacking. It look quite a while for the wait staff to approach us, then far longer to actually get our cocktails. From the time we sat down, until the time we actually received our cocktails was a good 30 minutes. When we ordered a second cocktail, same thing… at least 30 minutes to get it. Kinda disappointing g when dining on a Saturday night.

The restaurant is in a great location and has a nice style/ambiance. The food is overpriced for what it is, which is normal American fare. It’s loud inside but not too prohibitive for a conversation. Overall nice place to catch up with friends!

If you have a short window of time to grab a bite to eat before a show, this is a reasonable place. Not a lot of great choices for that. The food is fine, drink are fine. Like a lot of places these days, service is very slow, so be forewarned. That seems more because they are understaffed than anything else. I am sorry about that, but still, the service is slow.
