Reviews for The Merc in Saratoga Springs, NY
Ran into this place and was not disappointed. Whisky specials for brunch were fantastic. Chicken and waffles light fluffy... jammed packed with flavor. The BLT was out of this world. All that and they also serve a good cup of Joe. Read more
Beautiful atmosphere, food was pretty good but pricey. I got the tomato bisque and hummus plate, both were good. My husband got... the pork schnitzel and said it was ok but not worth $28. We went at 6pm on a Friday and it didn't get busy until we left. Wemade a reservation online 2 hours in advance. Read more
We stopped here for brunch, would definitely recommend! The atmosphere is so cool, I love all the plants and their photo wall is... gorgeous! Food wise I order the chicken and waffles and my husband ordered the carnitas Benny. Not my favorite seasoning on thechicken, but my husband really enjoyed it. The pork in the Benny could have been a little more flavorful but it was overallpretty good! Our server was very sweet and attentive! Overall I would stop her again for sure, there were a lot of interestingdrinks I'd like to try! Read more
A Great Place, with a unique feel. Great interior, and I need outside patio right on the main street. The food is delicious, the... waiters are attentive. I would definitely recommend. Read more
I have been waiting to try this spot for awhile now, but kept hearing positive reviews so today we finally tried it first... ourselves. And the end feeling of our time there is "Meh". Wait staff/customer service - fine, but nothing to get excited. Shetook orders, brought food, and that was that. Not overly attentive, not engaging, just...there, briefly. The food was also fine.A fairly large burger, but not the best I have had, just okay. The fries were soft and undercooked instead of crispy. Alsooverpriced at almost $24 with no sides included ($18 to start with but extra for some toppings like bacon). The best thing mighthave been the Brussel sprouts. Nothing about this experience today grabbed me or made me think about coming back. I have hadbetter food for the same prices with a view of the lake (Saratoga and Lake George). Read more
The best brunch spot in town. Everything on the menu is an incredible value. The food is amazing and the service staff is always... on point. The Brussels sprouts and truffle fries are a must. Our server was super accommodating. Great vibe and atmosphere. Read more
What an amazing brunch my husband and I had. We were actually able to get out of our house sans kids and seeked out the perfect... bloody mary and we found it!! We were seated right away in the best spot in the house; tucked away by a front window and no oneseated near us. The Christmas decor at the time was classy and festive. Just the environment we were looking for. We both gotbloody mary's which had a chili powder and salt rim which really upped the game. I had to have 2! I had the special of thecarnitas benedict. SO yummy, as were the potatoes that accompanied it. The eggs were perfectly poached and runny, just how Ilike them. My husband had the biscuits with sausage gravy and eggs over-hard and he was equally as happy with his meal. I am abig proponent of the mask and appreciated that the hostess tactfully asked a guest to put theirs on when they came in beforebeing seated. Can't wait to return! Read more
Stopped in for a late lunch, beautiful atmosphere and gorgeous details. We ended up getting the burrito and chicken and... waffles. Brussel sprouts were crispy and the honey mustard was a fantastic dip. I asked to sub the bacon with their pulledpork. Overall food was really good, wish my burrito had less eggs and more of the goodies and pork. The chicken and waffles wereamazing. Not too sweet but just enough. We got an apple cider mimosa and a hot cider with bourbon. Oh my gosh the hot cider isbomb, could have drank that all day. Customer service could have been better. There's value to making sure your guests aregreeted in a timely manner,and are asked, not told what they would like. Read more
