The food surpassed my expectations. My cousin visiting from Delaware wanted Southern Comfort food so I asked on FB for a recommendation and almost everyone said "Mert's"! We both had the fried chicken, she had mashed potatoes and collards for sides whereas I went with the mac and cheese and black-eyed peas. Then, as our plates were cleared and we paid our checks, we wanted to sit for a few more minutes before leaving. It was way before closing time so that was no reason to do what our server did, plop and wet dish towel on our table right in front of us as she passed which we assumed was a signal to leave.
How disgusting. We tried to be this "fancy" Uptown and then something like this is just a little embarrassing, don't you think?
