Review of The Merc

The menu doesn’t have any GF designations and our waitress was completely unaware of gluten allergy precautions. She reassured me that many meals were gluten free but I had to explain the gluten sensitivities and cross contamination. They ask you to specify a food allergy on the menu but the waitress was unaware that they used the same fryer for everything. All of this is to say, they are just completely unaware of true gluten allergies and the precautions necessary. There is no dedicated menu or soecifations.- so you have to guess and hope it’s not contaminated. We finished our meal about an hour ago and I feel great (I had chicken soup and salmon w butternut squash risotto) drinks and food were awesome. Proceed as you feel comfortable
