Friday 8:30 reservation. Arrive and sat. No rush at all from staff. Then told all food needs ordered at once, as it is late. Multiple plates arrive at once, and plates are attempted to be removed from the table before they were finished. The entire evening felt rushed after under pacing the beginning. Do not go late, service is awful, and this is so unworthy of a Michelin star.

Fine location and nice dining atmosphere. We were expecting to be impressed, which probably set our expectations too high. Our lunch was the prixe fixe chef’s tasting and it took just a few beats longer than seemed reasonable considering there were only two other parties in the restaurant at the time. We each chose a different salad and entree, so a total of four dishes were served to us and the predominant flavor to all items, particularly the salads, was salt. There was so much salt that we were thirsty for hours afterwards. The two salads we had were a roasted broccoli salad and a forgettable other yellow beet salad. Of course the broccoli was brown and dull colored because it was roasted but there was nothing added to balance the dullness of that and make it look other than leftovers from yesterday’s oven-cooked sheet pan. It being a cold dish also made it feel like leftovers. Overall these starter salads that arrived after too long a wait were too salty and too small to make us eager for the entrees to follow. The tuna poke and the salmon appeared next. The salmon was perfectly seared and crusted with a crunchy outer layer and juicy interior. It was about four bites’ worth and was the only part of the meal that we enthusiastically enjoyed. It was on a bed of pretty garnishes and sauce but none of that made much impact because the salmon was the star. The poke was a bad choice on our part. It was plated prettily of course but really it doesn’t belong on a Michelin rated restaurant. This is island street food. And the Mercantile’s rendition of it was salty and boring with the usual Americanized version using mayonnaise-based sauce that was mixed with some hot chili that made it the usual orange glop drizzled over a pile of cubed tuna and other bits and bites like avocado. Truly our fault for thinking it might be served in a more interesting way or flavored correctly as islanders like it or with a bit of mango or something tropical.
Great location and atmosphere. Disappointing to have received slow service for some mid-level lunch bites not living up to the restaurant’s high reputation.
Maybe dinner is better.

I just can't with this place. The food is pretty good. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is lovely.
BUT....
$48 for scallops and you get a measly three scallops add a bunch of potato pancakes that kind of look like scallops in the dark light to complete the dish.
Who makes these decisions?
But it gets worse.
After the inadequacy of the main course you get a bill that has an extra 3% tip for the heart of the house, whatever that is, and another 3% tip for the building. The literal freaking building. Like the bricks.
I can't. Three stars.

Came all the way from Alaska to have my birthday dinner at Mercantile. Everybody was really friendly and the place looked amazing but most importantly- the food! we got chef’s table because it was my big birthday dinner and ordered a couple cocktails because we had to try them. We are both chefs, and the chef was really amazing telling us about where all the food comes from and every single dish was exceptional, probably the best meal I’ve ever had in my life.

I’ll start with the positives. The drinks were good and obviously location and atmosphere are great being in Union Station. Now for the meal itself. We ordered based on what our server recommended since this was our first dinner visit. No fault on server’s part, but he really talked up these dishes, so maybe our expectations were too high. Palisade peach burrata for $24 served in a bowl with no bread. Server did bring us some Hawaiian rolls no charge, but initially they wanted us to purchase bread for $8. What? The peaches had NO flavor and were not ripe, like if I had my eyes closed I would’ve thought it was an apple. Next we ordered scallops and njuda pasta which were recommended as the best items in their categories. Both were served lukewarm at best. The scallops were very fishy tasting and only come with 3. Pasta was good. Presentation was good. Service good. Won’t be back though. Sorry. If I hadn’t already ordered dinner before the burrata came out, I would’ve left after the burrata.
