Great place to have a meeting in the city. Lovely traditional food. Nice service. Recommended 👌🏼
A real gem. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome, significant. It was clear to see other customers were also made to feel just as important. I was delighted to see the frequent hand washing along with multiple electronic hand sanitizer dispensors around the establishment. Tables were thoughtfully set with ample space between to allow a safe dining experience. Beautifully presented and full of flavour the food was simply wonderful. A place to be enjoyed by everyone who ventures through their door, I look forward to another meal here soon.
Food was very good but for the price I expected a little more quality. Service and atmosphere were top notch. Wine selection isn't huge but has only quality selections. Would definitely go here again, even if the food was terrible, for the service and atmosphere. Highly recommend the Mercer if you are looking for a wonderful quiet dinner.
Very nice atmosphere with piano lounge music. Great food , highly recommend the tomato soup with rosemary croutons. The picture below is of the semifreddo dessert, also very tasty.
We were upstairs in the private room which was excellent
Good sized portions and very good choice of food available. Highly recommend the Dorset crab on toast for starters.
Office Xmas party..... Turkey was ever so slightly on the dry side ( opinion echoed by several) which is the only reason for 4/5 else everything else was great - atmosphere, service, setting .... Would revisit.... Thanks for a great evening.
Fabulous evening last night - a dinner for 15 people. The service was on point, the food was delicious and despite being a Tuesday night the ambience was just right! Thank you for a great evening.
Food very good. Our party all had dishes from the set menu last night. Sadly not many visitors given the current regulations but I would definitely visit again. We ate downstairs and albeit there weren't many of us, the restaurant still has atmosphere given the wood panelling and high ceiling. Our waitress was very attentive and helpful. Try it.
Good spot for business lunch in the city. Decent food and not hugely expensive as others might be in the area.
Only gripe and this is nothing to do with the restaurant at all, but the weekday lunchtime clientele is very male, pale and stale.
Business lunch amazing wine and food
Service was great 👍🏼
I was lucky enough to be taken here by some clients for lunch. There was a great choice of food. I had a warm black pudding salad to start (absolutely amazing), followed by a smoked haddock risotto as a main (lovely and filling). Service was very smooth even during their lunch time rush. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
Attended a work Christmas lunch with some clients. Nice private room (for 16) downstairs with classic settings. Only had a limited festive menu but the food was well done, if lacking a little imagination. Table service was very good. Will try again when in the area for the full menu.
We turned up early for our 6pm booking (around 5.30) this was no problem. we choose where to sit as the restaurant was empty. Order for drinks was promptly taken. drinks served and orders taken for starter and main. Starters we again served promptly. Jazz music playing at a good level. Dorset crab on toast was very tasty, I did have 3 oysters with the starter, very fresh with the Bloody Mary dressing. For the main Calf’s liver, grilled bacon, bubble ‘n’ squeak, onion gravy. Which again was cooked to perfection. The bubble was a version I had not tried before, with peas as the main greens. We decided not to have dessert but cheese, a good selection of British cheeses, these did seem a little cold to be served. The service was exceptional, which I did expect as when we left we were still the only 2 in the establishment. I consider this restaurant to be a good find, great food and service, which I strongly recommend.
Great food and service, in a very pleasant setting.
I would have preferred not to have had the tables quite so close together, especially if our business meeting had involved anything more confidential.
Bit old fashioned but very nice
Really enjoyed the visit. Staff attentive great location will visit again.
