Our server at Merchant was excellent. She made very good recommendations for the cocktails. We had fried cheese curds for the appetizer. I have not had fried cheese curds before, so I have nothing to compare it to, but these were pretty good if you like that kind of thing. I ordered the burger and requested that it be cooked rare. When it came, however, it was cooked well done....real disappointed. We told the server and she was extremely gracious about the error and took it back right away. I was given a house salad (really tasty) while I waited. I can't complain about the accommodations that were made for the error on my order, it is just an awkward situation when you get your meal after everyone at your table is already done eating! Everyone else I was with really enjoyed their food and got what they wanted! I would try Merchant again, this particular trip just didn't blow me away. The atmosphere is cool and my burger was excellent the second time around!
