   An OK experience, but the food left something to be desired. Pleased to find choices on the menu that were dairy free as one of us has issues with dairy. Charred Brussels sprout appetizer was interesting & tasty. The meat lasagna was disappointing ... seemed somewhat dried out without enough sauce to salvage it. Cioppino was satisfying but served without the customary bread to soak up the sauce. Bread is ordered separately which I missed in scanning the menu & server didn't advise. We dined early (2nd table of the evening) but the server failed to mention the specials of the day which we later noticed on the chalkboard over the open kitchen. Gelato had an odd texture I never experienced before but the flavor was interesting. Service was well-paced and we easily finished in time to make our 7:30 curtain. Might try again if we are in the area for a show.

   I think the price of pasta is high. Also did not taste fresh ( I had the spaghetti with mozzarella and eggplant ) . The crispy brussel sprouts were not crispy! This is a one off as I have been here before and not had a problem with the food.

   We love Cafe Mercado! The best service--especially if Emily is your server, great food, great cocktails and a great wine selection. It is the very best restaurant in Lowry. It is our favorite!

   Lively restaurant on NY Eve. Service was very slow but wait help did the best they could under the circumstances.

   We had not been to Cafe Mercato recently and we were very happy with our meal. We had a range of entrees and we enjoyed all of them. It was also a fairly quiet setting which is sometimes difficult to find. Friendly staff and terrific meal - I recommend it!

   The food was great and a nice selection of wines by the glass. Our waitress was very helpful. We had a lovely evening. Try the chicken parm - excellent!

   The food was very underwhelming - I ordered the spinach braised rib ravioli and I did not enjoy it at all.
