    Our visit here was very enjoyable. Food was hot and tasty. Really liked the dimmed environment in the back of the restaurant. Rio was amazing at his job and entertained all of us for an unforgettable dinner.

    Decided to stop in and get a drink today, staff was so friendly. I wanted to warm up from the snow and the bartender made me a Spanish coffee which was great. Also was greeted by a pleasant smell, pristine restaurant and I love stopping by here.

    We've been going to 220 for well over 5 years now. First time today, food felt meh..(truffle fries were refried, distasteful). Seating area felt dirty (marks on mirrors, booth had food crumbs, table had fingerprints). Lastly, we went for 40th birthday celebration which i specified while booking, however, no wish, nothing. Anyways, we left without eating dessert or even completely finishing dinner. Decided to eat dessert at nearby chocomania instead.

    I had a good experience, service was great however there was hair on my food as I was eating so that was a bit disappointing and disturbing.

    Went out for dinner with the girls in January. We were sat in the front of the restaurant which was very cold from the doors opening and closing all evening. It got very crowded with people at tables and standing in the doorway waiting for a seat. I had to climb over someone’s jacket on the floor as I was leaving. Service was fine, not overly friendly or special. Food and drinks seemed overpriced for the quality. The $14 espresso mocktail tasted like chocolate milk on ice. I then asked for a San Pellegrino and received a $10 750ml bottle without warning. Meatballs were cold and the white wine was not chilled. Tuna tartar and burrata flatbread were great. Mediterranean salad was pretty good. Cute spot for cocktails (and instagram photos if you’re into that) but I’m not eager to return anytime soon. I would, however, return to check out their red wine and steak/seafood selections if a convenient opportunity presented itself.

    I had a good experience today at 220 Merrill. I have been to this establishment several times, and every time, I had a good experience. Shannon was my server. He's attentive, polite, and an all-around good server.
