It's been several years since I've been to Mert's, and I have to say I was a little let down. Now don't get me wrong the food is still good, although not consistent from dish to dish. The cornbread is on point, buttered to die for. The Salmon cakes were not very well seasoned, the collards on the tasteless side. The Mac and cheese was creamy and delish.
The service is still terrific, the staff friendly and very attentive. They greeted me like they just saw me yesterday, with that "come in and set a spell", Southern charm.
While my meal was not great, I would go again for the "Tiger Wood" (sweet iced tea/lemonade), and to try something different on the menu,
