Merchant - Chicago

One of the best newer restaurants in the city! amazing for the brunch, as well as the Brunch menu has inventive kitchen. the chef always tries new, delicious, innovative dishes. the proven smashburger is sooo good and is a menu mainstay.

My wife and I took my 28 yr old son to Merchant for dinner. It was our first time there and we were very happy with our experience. The ambience was nice with a mostly 30-something crowd, the service was superior with the very friendly staff working their butts off, and the food was spectacular! We started off with an appetizer of Shishito peppers that were very different from the usual fare. They were quite tasty and had a nice spicy zing to them. My wife and son had burgers while I was a little more adventurous by going with the Brava Burrito. They loved their burgers saying at one point they may be the best they've ever had. My Burrito was not what I expected, it was actually better! It had a combination of eggs and potatoes with 2 delicious dipping sauces. We all left full and happy! Try it, you may just love it!

There wasn’t but two tables full when we walked in with reservations on a Saturday night. We were mostly ignored at first and once we did place our orders, it took quite awhile for the food to arrive. I had heard good things, but the menu was not very extensive and the food was just mediocre. I had hoped to be wowed.

I took my daughter to lunch on a cold February day. Our server was friendly, made great suggestions, and made our lunch experience memorable. We enjoyed our food, we’ll be back.

Loved this place!!! Amazing food, great service, and awesome atmosphere. We had the smash burger which had an amazing taste, loved the cheese on it. I had the burrito with chorizo, AMAZING and filling, definitely recommend. Remedy was an awesome server, very attentive, funny, and nice. Absolutely recommend.
