I was excited to try this place as the menu looked exciting and unique. Unfortunately, they did not deliver. I ordered the catfish and all I tasted was char on the hash. The fish was very bland. The burger was also way overcooked. The drinks were the best thing, and the fries were also good.

Such a fantastic night out from start to finish. Every bite was full of flavor and clearly made with care. We shared the chili crunch hummus, crispy cheese curds, and the oyster mushroom shawarma, and each dish impressed us more than the last. The passion fruit pisco sour was refreshing and perfectly balanced. Jessie took wonderful care of us—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. This place instantly earned a spot on our favorites list, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit.

Love the atmosphere. There is indoor and outdoor seasonal seating. It was a Saturday evening and we were seated immediately. Beautiful atmosphere, sun was close to setting, the glow of the golden light from the big windows cast on diners gave a warm invitation to the place to be. We had blackened catfish and a merchant burger. The burger is one of the best I have ever had. On my list of top ten burgers for sure. The egg cooked perfectly flowed over the top of the burger when the bun was pressed. The mayo and pickles gave it the right amount of tang. The salad so crisp and fresh. The blackened catfish a little spicy for the diner I was with. The cornbread is delicious. Loved the actual burning candlelight no fake flame. Loved having a bottle of water on the table. Ask for ice if you like ice water.

Loved the general vibe of this place - decor and outdoor seating were great. Everyone that we encountered at Merchant were really welcoming and helpful - from the hostess to our waitress. We sat outdoors, which was really refreshing, could see the water at the end of the street. The food was good, but not really 5 star worthy. The only item that we thought was memorably delicious were the deviled eggs - if you go, definitely give them a try. I had the Caesar salad, which I thought lacked taste and skimpy on dressing. My husband had the Friday fish fry - it wasn’t the traditional Wisconsin fish fry (cod and hash brown side) - it was sturgeon and seasoned fries. He said it was good - and the seasoned fries were delicious. Street parking was tricky to find - fun area, lots of places, fun to walk around after and one street away from the capitol building - beautiful at night!
