Great food. Tasty and well presented. Atmosphere is intimate and very French with old French wine bottle labels all over. Wine selection is very good. The only reason merlot gets a 4 star....we were never asked if we wanted another drink by our waiter from app to desert :(.

I loved this place! The food is delicious, and the atmosphere is very chill. I went with my husband, my father, and my son, and the service was excellent. Definitely an experience worth repeating.

Quick update on dinner - As good as it can get! Good food in an excellent atmosphere. We had lunch here for my daughter’s birthday. We felt right back in Paris. I really liked the french onion soup. Highly recommend!!!

Didn’t eat here, just tried the rooftop patio that is open this summer from 5pm. The rooftop is bigger than I thought, they have their own bar there that cab sit about six guests! Good vibes, good service. You can have your water on tap, distilled, or sparkling💧

I was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful atmosphere and food at Merlot. Food was excellent with great presentation, the atmosphere does remind me of the bistros I frequented in Europe. A nice touch was my luck sitting beside some French patrons, which added to the soft French inspired music. The service was polite and prompt, so no complaints. Overall, I highly recommend a visit for brunch or dinner.

We went here for dinner last night. Everything about the place was excellent - especially the food! It was our first time but we will definitely be back! Thanks to my aunt and uncle who gave us a gift card for our wedding as it is their favourite restaurant. Thanks to the chef and servers!

Merlot’s rooftop is open for the summer and it is a fantastic outdoor patio. The space is inviting with a nice bar. Service is friendly. The menu is different from the indoor one. There are some fun summer cocktails on offer and interesting appetizers good for sharing. We particularly enjoyed the tostones. Great place for drinks and snacks on a nice day! Note that they do not take reservations for the rooftop! Update:- Delighted to notice that their menu had changed during my recent visit, there seemed to be more dishes on offer. The atmosphere also seemed more intimate and less hectic. While the food was delicious it was the service that was outstanding. Our server, Adrian, was friendly, professional and efficient. I highly recommend Merlot for all occasions!
