About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for live music
Inside Yours Truly DC Hotel, Mercy Me is a vibrant blend of South American flavors, inventive cocktails, and lively energy. More than a restaurant, it’s a place where tradition and innovation collide, celebrating the evolution of Latin America’s dynamic food scene.

This season, step onto the patio behind Mercy Me for our latest transformation—The Blossom Garden, inspired by the beauty of Japanese Sakura Blossoms. While our menu stays rooted in South American flavors, we’re introducing a Nikkei-inspired section, paying homage to the Japanese influence on Peruvian and Brazilian cuisine.

Here, delicate Japanese techniques meet bold Latin ingredients, blending umami depth with bright, citrusy spice. Of course, you’ll still find the Mercy Me favorites you love, alongside new dishes that bridge continents in unexpected ways.

    The food was absolutely amazing but our server was what made the whole experience perfect!! Hansy was so kind, patient, informative and cared about my sisters allergies and made sure we were WELL taken care of! This guy needs a raise! The ambience was great and the restaurant also felt private. The Dj also did great too!! Thanks again Hansy!

    When you go, you MUST ask for Elmostafa. When I tell you, he made our experience perfect in every way. We came to Mercy Me to celebrate our graduation and he took our treatment to the next level — ensuring we felt welcome, celebrated, and appreciated. Every drink and menu item he suggested was absolutely divine. We would genuinely come back just for his service. The menu is something worth talking about for SURE! 10/10 for every aspect of our reservation.

    I booked a reservation in the Blossom Garden on Thursday night and the experience was phenomenal. Jasmerlin was extremely kind, attentive, and knowledgeable about all the delicious dishes. We also ordered two Espresso martinis made by Gerardo that were exceptional. Overall the experience was a 100/10 and I would recommend to my friends for a date night idea. We will definitely be back!

    We were in town and staying at Truly Yours. What a great addition to our stay to have Mercy Me in the Hotel. We made reservations for the Bosa Nova night. The atmosphere and vibes were perfect! David was our waiter and made our experience that much better. I would highly recommend Mercy for a date night or even to grab some fun cocktails.

    I had an amazing time. I was first attracted to the place because of the Bossa Nova night and performance of Gigi. I’m glad I went, the ambience, designs, and drinks paired with the music was just excellent. Our host, David, treated us very kindly, he elevated the experience. Thank you to David for an incredible experience.
