    We had a great time at Mercato for dinner. The restaurant is a vibe. The food was overall delicious. Believe it or not the olives received the highest praise of the evening. Special shout out to Emma our server. Outstanding! I cannot wait until the patio opens.

    First time here. Very nice environment. Food was very good. Meals were a little slow to arrive but it was 1230 for a Sunday brunch and they were packed so it was understandable. Would definitely go again.

    The music was wayyyyyy too loud. So loud that we really couldn’t to leave. Having dinner conversation was next to impossible because the music was overwhelming. Our table was right next to the window and near hallway to the restrooms. Definitely swayed to go again based on that. Food was delicious for sure

    It was all good/fine until the DJ started. Wish the waitress recommended more Italian dishes, steak sandwich was bad.
