  • Our visit started a bit rocky but once the road was righted I could see that this is an impressive restaurant and bar (and liquor store). There we two groups at the hostess stand when we walked in and we took our place in line. There seemed to be a bit of chaos with the staff behind the podium and when we reached the front of the line we were told the hostess called in and servers were trying to cover her duties. We were shown to our table and the experience was nothing but stellar from that point forward. A super cheery, but not fake, waitress came to take our order. I promptly choose the Saturday morning brunch requisite; a Bloody Mary. The Merchant take is excellent. For starters one can take the traditional route and have their drink with vodka. Or you can substitute gin and have a Bloody Margaret. Or a Bloody Maria (tequila instead of vodka) is also an option. Judging by the glasses of fresh herbs on the bar rail and the extensive selection of spirits behind the bar I knew their bloody mix would be homemade, and most likely tasty, before the drink even arrived. The good news is the drink completely lived up to my advanced hype. The mix had layers of spices, Worcestershire being the deepest, then some hints of horseradish and a bright finish of celery salt on the end. Garnish was simple, but as long as the mix is good it's a good drink for me. The special of the day was a market omelet filled with fresh vegetables. Since we had just come from the Farmer's Market this sounded like the perfect choice. Fresh shiitake mushrooms, asparagus, sunchokes, and spinach. All were well seasoned and sauteed in olive oil before being stuffed inside the light and fluffy omelet. A side of rosemary and parmesan potatoes rounded out the dish nicely. Our service was wonderful - not too attentive but not neglectful either and she really did a good job on creating a fun and positive atmosphere. And back to the aforementioned liquor store. It's not exactly a store per se (see my photo) but there is an entire wall full of spirits and wines for retail purchase. There's many places in Madison I'd like to try for the first time, but I have a feeling I may be back at the Merchant for again before I get through that list.
