| - I've visited Merchant Street numerous times, previously, but had never submitted a review. My friend and I stopped in for Happy Hour, on a Friday evening, and we truly enjoyed our food. I ordered the warm cauliflower and chickpea salad, which sounds a bit strange, but is delicious! Hands down, my favorite item at Merchant Street, with the meatballs being a close second, but back to the salad. The salad includes a generous portion of chickpeas, cauliflower, and capers, mixed in a tahini dressing topped with a chopped boiled egg, served warm and just $6 on the happy hour menu. The BBQ bourbon meatballs ($6 happy hour) are tasty too, the meatballs are tender, seasoned nicely, tossed in bourbon BBQ sauce and topped with just a little bit of cheese....yum!. We also ordered the pita/hummus platter ($6 happy hour). Traditional homemade hummus, Sriracha hummus and olive tapenade, served with toasted pita triangles. We ordered mac n cheese ($6 happy hour), I didn't taste, but my friend mentioned that it was tasty, cheddar and smoked gouda cheeses!). I ordered the lemon caper shrimp from the regular menu ($11). The shrimp were cooked perfectly, nicely seasoned in a lemon caper sauce, not sure that I would spend $11, the portion was just moderate. Last but least we ordered dessert, bourbon peach crumble, with vanilla ice cream. We truly enjoyed our visit and will return!
