We go there frequently as its just a few miles from our home. The food is great, the service is always a 5 out of 5 and Never been disappointed. If you want a great meal, great service in a upscale atmosphere, this is the place. Its a great place to celebrate an anniversary, birthday or just enjoy one of the best meals with a scenic view and the best chef’s and waitstaff. We go there usually weekly and never been disappointed.

Mercantile is tucked away in downtown King. It delivers both flavor and ambiance. From the moment we stepped inside, the warm lighting, stylish decor and inviting atmosphere set the stage for a memorable dining experience. The menu offers a great selection of dishes. I have tried almost every appetizer, and they are perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The steak is some of the best I have had - tender and flavorful. I HIGHLY recommend trying the mac & cheese for your side. The drink selection is also equally impressive. Service is Top Notch - friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They make great recommendations and ensure that every detail is taken care of. Mercantile does not disappoint. We live in Yadkinville and have made the drive multiple times. A+++

My friend and I had a wonderful dinner here last night. We ordered the pork belly and salmon skewers as a starter and then had the Mussels, Wedge Salad and Mac and Cheese which were all delicious. We had great service with Chris who was very attentive and professional. He introduced us to the sommelier for wine assistance as well. We really appreciated having a knowledgeable “wine guy” on staff. He even answered questions beyond the menu. He was enthusiastic, friendly and made a good recommendation based on our taste preference. (Sorry we do not remember his name or I would give him a shout out!) The small things from a service perspective were noticed. We had leftovers which Chris took away and boxed up for us. This is a great touch beyond handing your guest a box and having them do it themselves. He also took away my friend’s mussel shells mid-meal so she could continue with a nice clean bowl. We will be back again! Thanks for a great dinner and for having a wonderful staff who greatly added to our experience!

Always a joy spending time at Roaring River and Chez Josephine. Food, atmosphere and wine never disappoints. I do miss the Belgian waffle for dessert though! Looking forward to another visit!
