Food portions were perfect, good service and romantic atmosphere. Mostly American cuisine but they've started adding sushi to the menu.
Came for a client lunch here. It was super busy, even at 1130. The decor is nice here and it is dimly lit. We had a back table that felt like a private room. The booths were nice and cozy. Our waiter was great. We got 4 lobster tacos to share for 8 people and our waiter split each taco and plated it nicely for us. It was super delicious and lots of large chunks inside. We also got shrimp cocktail and the yellowtail sashimi. Everything was super fresh. For my main, I got Caesar salad with salmon. The salad dressing was good and salmon was cooked perfectly. The lettuce was not cut up and the pieces were huge. Wish it was more chopped. Regardless, we would come back and visit The Mercury for our next business meal.
Enjoyed the Thanksgiving day brunch at the Mercury. Expensive buffet, but when you consider how many different food options they provide and the quality of all the options, it was well worth it. I can't recall a buffet that offered that many options and all of the options tasting as if they were individually cooked for me after ordering each individually off a menu. They do a fantastic job. The restaurant was packed and servers were doing all they could to keep everyone happy and we were very appreciative of that. We started with mimosas and bloody Mary's, which were both delicious.
The Mercury is one of our very favorite places to dine in Dallas. I have not had anything that wasn't absolutely outstanding. The sushi menu items are top notch; they have unique and delightful appetizers and the meats and fish are utterly delicious. You have to have to have to get the caviar egg. Wow! That is just a nice treat! This last visit I also tried the steak tartare (outstanding) and the crab dip with huge chunks of fresh crab meat. We also ordered the miso black cod that was so fresh and delicious. We always have amazing wine when we dine here and this visit was no exception with a light and delicious Chablis. Tanner, our waiter, introduced me to the elderflower martini. He was spot on recommending that to me. It is my new favorite martini! The service here is impeccable and the atmosphere is very warm and inviting. I cannot wait to dine their again!
Food is fantastic, drinks are great and service is excellent. Really no reason to leave the neighborhood.... I try to only come here twice a week but it is difficult because it is that good....
Enjoyed our second visit to the Mercury. This time to celebrate our wedding anniversary. As promised, we ordered the Caviar Egg which lived up to its reputation. It is divine. Also ordered a crab cake special with tomato, avocado and asparagus with balsamic glaze. We both ordered perfectly prepared fish. The portions are just right ... enough to be satisfying and still enjoy a shared side and a dessert. Service was again impeccable. We were treated well and felt we had made the perfect choice of place to celebrate our special occasion A special mention to the valet Aloys. He is welcoming and cheerful, efficient and incredibly, remembers the car in which you arrived without asking.
It's VERY DARK in there. On a weeknight, an older clientele. This fancy restaurant is in an unassuming plaza. Pretty random location... You get some bread with butter and pate (?) when you sit down. Tuna mignon ($40). There are mushrooms listed on the menu, but there were barely anyway. It was good and you can get it cooked rare or medium rare. I got medium rare, which was still pretty rare. But I really don't order tuna steaks out so I don't know how they should be cooked. It's small.. but it tasted good. Lamb shank ($37) looked like the best value because it looked bigger with a bigger portion of polenta... The service was good.. it wasn't as busy though. they refilled waters, refilled bread, patient with our party showing up late. You're going to pay for a nice dinner here. It's fine, but I wouldn't come back again.
First time here in about 15 years. Me and the squad like to eat earlier so we got there at like 5:20. Promptly seated and attended to. Nice dark restaurant. Server wasn't familiar with cocktails or mocktails, so just didn't get a drink. But here's what we ate: -crab dip - huge pieces of crab! Tasty -caterpillar roll - sushi had good taste but rice and wrapper lacked some quality -crunchy tuna roll -Brussels good but pieces too big, I like them smaller and crisped up -twice baked potato's A+ -salmon nice and healthy but missing a little flavor -ribeye pretty good, no complaints Overall pretty good with some variety!
I'm probably here once a month at the point! The Mercury has the absolute best food in Dallas. You must try their grapefruit Kampachi. I have to get two orders every time I'm here because I'm obsessed! The toro nigeri cannot be beat. Another must here. Please trust me. The yellowtail jalapeño is another must. Don't skip on the cream brûlée. It's the best I've had at any restaurant. And ask for Brad. He's the best, and we always sit in his section. Want the best drink in Dallas? Ask for Monica. That woman knows how to pour a lean drink! 5 stars!
It's been years. Celebrating friend's birthday this Saturday night. Lively old school steakhouse vibe. Nice but not impeccable service, including not taking un-used glassware away; serving of next course while the prior course was still being enjoyed. As for dinner, absolutely delicious was their "Lobster Tacos"; no dressing, sparsely scattered of greens "pear & gorgonzola salad"; tender and tasty "lamb shank"; and, ending with great pours of hot coffee and a fantastic slice of "12 Layer Coconut Cake". A longtime Preston Hollow institution. "Here's looking at you, kid" CHEERS!
