We had a lovely Sunday brunch at La Mercerie. The restaurant is beautiful and airy, and the food was delicious. It misses 5 stars for me because of the portions for the price.

Came for dinner on a weeknight with a decent sized group. Restaurant accommodated us even though we arrived a bit early. Service was friendly and efficient albeit a bit slow. Good was all good and portion sizes were all fine to me, not sure why some reviewers feel otherwise. It was quite loud for a small dining room is an otherwise very large space. We also were asked to leave when another party arrived and they wanted our table. After spending $1500, you'd think they'd give you the space.

Cute brunch spot located near chinatown. Decor is nice and beautiful. We were seated outside but there were heaters. I got the salmon tartine and was not full but it was okay because I was looking for something light.. It was delicious and fresh but kind of pricey at $24. I had already looked up the menu beforehand so I knew prices were going to be steep. I enjoyed my dish but wished there were two pieces of toast instead of just one. Service was nice and attentive. I did notice that my napkin had some stains at the corner but I just folded it.

Easter AM breakfast. Great service. We all ended up with egg dishes that were quite swell. Add in sparkling water, 2 cocktails, 3 coffees, and 2 desserts, damages for 4 with tip was $325.

The ambiance of the place is really chic. I love the art they have in their restaurant. They have a built in mini museum/store, which is super cute and fits their aesthetic. It was a bit pricy, but it seems almost everything in New York is. The service was good, and the food was decent. The chicken I ordered was a bit dry. But other than that everything else was okay. Quite the experience, but the food was mid.

I actually really liked 2/3 things we got here but for me I can justify the cost. The chicken dish we got was 37 dollars but was barely enough for one person. I did really enjoy their savory crepes and one of the best desserts of my life. You HAVE to get the tarte tatin. It is the absolute best bite I've had in nyc. The service was definitely nothing exciting and the vibes was definitely the kind of fine dining I personally don't enjoy. However, I think that's the restaurant and my personal difference so I don't think that should stop you. I wouldn't take anybody here except for dessert.

Generally speaking I'm not usually a fan of French restaurants because I'm not a fan of the size of the portions of their dishes. I lift and need my protein. That being said, I can certainly appreciate the fine dining experience that French Restaurants offer. La Mercerie is definitely a good date spot if you're looking for a place that is fancy and romantic. I went here a few months back for a birthday celebration. I made a reservation but had to wait a few minutes in their furniture store area to be seated, which I thought was kind of interesting. When they sat us we were sat at a cute candle lit table that almost felt like out of a Disney movie. The service was attentive and fairly quick. I ordered the filet mignon with pasta. It was tasty. We also had some cake for dessert which was good too. All in all a good experience. Food was good. Service was good. The ambiance definitely sets the mood.

this is my favorite place to stop and eat at in Soho, it was my first time sitting indoors, and I have to say the environment is more chaotic and busy inside, compared to outside. Upon entering, my friend was told that we had a one hour time limit, which is insane. However, we ended up leaving later than that, and didn't feel that rushed. I ordered a special squash quiche that had bacon in it and it was delicious! I ordered some bread and butter which didn't have the same deliciousness as previously ordered, the presentation and taste of it was different. This was my first time. Also, ordering their chocolate cookie which was very sweet and perfect to share with a friend. I'll need to buy some chocolate cookies to go next time.
