   I arrived early and told the staff that this was a first date. They arranged for the table in front of the fireplace for ambiance. Hannah, our server, was very attentive and sweet. Because of our experience at dinner, there will be a second date.

   A little noisy but otherwise very good. Food and service were great.

   The Sunday brunch buffet was really poor and borderline disgusting. It was really giving hotel lobby quality.

   Hi Jon, We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience at our Sunday brunch. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’re committed to improving our offerings. We try to have a wide variety from our seafood dish to our Chef carving station. Was there one dish in particular that you did not like? We appreciate you sharing your thoughts, and we look forward to hearing from you. Thank you, Dave General Manager Merrill's on the Waterfront

   It's been awhile since I've dined here at Merrill's I was pleasantly surprised to see that it seemed more upscale than usual. We received a wonderful Bread Basket with corn bread and sliced crusty bread.. My dinner was nicely presented in a metal paella pan instead of the usual large ceramic bowl. And the side of truffle chips was tasty. Our server Jordan was very attentive. Looking forward to our next visit.

   We had dined here preCovid. Menu and vibe was very different. Disappointing menu and drink menu. This was similar to a fish bar experience. Asked for a window seat and got squeezed in between two families. Noisy. Asked for champagne and was served in wine glasses because “there was a party upstairs and they used all the champagne stems.” Champagne was okay. Missed the former experience.

   Hi Patricia, We appreciate your feedback and are truly sorry to hear your experience didn't meet your expectations. We do unfortunately only have five tables directly in front of the windows, and I am happy that we were able to get you the window table but apologize for the noise as it does get loud in the restaurant when it fills up on a Saturday night. Your insights highlight areas for improvement and we will be sure to address them. I would love to speak to you a little more about your experience if you have the time. We hope to regain your trust and provide a better visit in the future. Look forward to hearing from you, Dave General Manager Merrill's on the Waterfront dcustadio@lafrancehospitality.co 508-997-7010
