I am so sorry to rate Mert's so poorly but after the treatment received today I must admit to extreme disappointment in one of my previously favorite Charlotte establishments. After being invited repeatedly via automated email marketing, I decided to go with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday with lunch at Mert's. After the most interesting discussion (!) with manager (?) I discovered that I did not have the necessary "proof" to rate the birthday "deal" in spite of having a valid NC driver license clearly showing my date of birth. In today's economy, I was stunned that any food establishment would take such a tack with a good paying customer! No worries on seeing my dollars at Mert's ever again. To many restaurants want my patronage.
