The Mercantile Social

Lovely atmosphere, fantastic servers who are very knowledgeable and diverse menu. My family truly enjoyed. We had chicken wings and beef taco to start and fried chicken sandwich with fries for a main. Too stuffed for dessert. The bun was not great but everything else was. Gluten-free fryer. 😁 I only wish they would mark their menu.

I have only been here once, but I had a safe and delicious meal! I ordered the Mercantile Crab Dip and the Seafood Trio… YUM!!! Pricey, but a beautiful restaurant for a special night out.

FYI: I called in beforehand and a staff member passed me on to the chef who actually has Celiac Disease, himself! He said that almost everything on the menu has a gluten free option, and he listed off some precautions, such as having their own dedicated gluten free fryer, cooking items separately in the oven instead of on the flat top or grill, changing boards, etc. He said it’s best to come on slower days (Wednesday) or slower times on busy days (before 7PM, Thursday to Sunday)… but that really you should be safe to come anytime. He also recommended that if you’re making a reservation, put in the comments that you have Celiac and they can prepare better, especially if you’re dining during a busy day/time!

Be careful celiacs... went last night and it is a beautiful restaurant!! However, I asked for gluten free noodle option (was very specific). I was half way done and then I found noodles from my friends non-gluten free option in mine. I told two workers and they said they would pass it along to the kitchen...
