Merchant

Great place if you seek a relaxing atmosphere ! Drinks are a bit on the pricier side and although the fruit and chocolate plate is delicious it is a bit expensive for the quantity you get.

Quail entree in summer of 2016 is amazing. They don't mess around with craft cocktails . Must have one, worth it I promise!

The mussels and cheese curds are amazing. But the cocktails ....best. Great bartenders , friendly and knowledgeable . The drink menu changes seasonally. Right now, I'm all about the Loretto Flower.

Outstanding service . Excellent food. Staff is very friendly and knowledgable about items on the menu, which is carefully thought out. I will definitely return to Merchant very soon :)

Awesome cocktails and super knowledgeable mixologists . If you're not sure what you want, give one your liquor of choice and they'll make you an awesome drink.

Classic Cheese Curds and Brussels Sprouts appetizers were super yummy.

There is something for everyone on the huge cocktail menu .

This was surprisingly good. The duck confit wings were amazing. The pasta with pork sausage ragu was amazingly authentic .

Excellent fries . Pair them with the also great mussels for a tasty makeshift moules frites .

Sassy cow creamery cheese curds and the valkyrie drink bring me back time and time again. The fries are pretty good too but without being quite as addicting as the drinks.

Knowledgeable bartenders make an excellent selection of high quality, well balanced cocktails . Fried cheese curds were the perfect complement.

A good place to read the paper and have a beer with Senator Fred Risser, the longest serving state legislator in American political history.

Laird's Applejack from the East Coast! Stellar. Good food. Good service . Hosts are sub-par, but once you are past seating, all is good.

Huge drink menu. Try the Peking Man if you like Moscow Mules and want a slight change. Waitress knew all about the drinks.

The Pork Pappardelle was awesome! It was filling an had a unique citrus like taste in the sauce. Very different and delicious!

Get a bottle of the Super Tuscan , Villa Puccini red wine . Try the marinated golden beet salad and hand-pulled burrata .

The food is pretty good; you have to get the cheese curds . The cocktails are always delicious and well-crafted.

Ploughman's plate is the best combination of the charcutrie and cheese boards .

If choosing what music you hear during your visit is important, find a place with a jukebox . This place isn't it. They have a talented DJ here instead.

Great cocktails . Try the Gin Fizz . Also, they sell 6 packs of beer . Why not grab a six pack for the road ?

Ask for Kristin S. She has great food and drink recommendations. Great location right before going to a show at the majestic.

great outdoor seating , brunch , and world-class cocktails

delicious cocktails & food, decent beer selection & very knowledgeable & friendly staff .

Even with their focus on craft cocktails Merchant still hits it out of the park with their inventive menu of Appetizers and Entrees.

Everything here is amazing!! ???? Appetizers, drinks, entree, desserts , etc! Go here! You won't be disappointed!!

Cocktails are good, even by New York standards, but the food is bad, yet very expensive . Grab a pre-dinner drink here, but go eat somewhere else, there's plenty of choice around the capitol.

The cocktails make the place. Order dealer's choice - the bartenders know what they are doing

Brunch is lights out. All locally sourced ingredients, spicy as hell bloodies, and FRIED French toast . Delicious!

amazing food. incredible craft cocktail menu. must stop

Those cheese curds are marvelous.

Original and delicious cocktails !! My only complaint...the glass is too small for the price!

I just had the huevos rancheros . It was perfect. Love the crispy tortilla . Sausage was good too.

Living in Madison since Merchant opened, and I haven't found better cheese curds !

Lovely cocktails . Friendly mixologists , or what have you. Definitely need to come back.

The craft cocktails are absolutely transcendental (give the High Plains Drifter a try) & the soundtrack is the best in town .

Awesome time & service. Delicious.

Very tasty old fashioned.

Everything is good here. My favorite happy hour place.

The duck confit is outstanding! You won't be disappointed.

Wonderful service! Drinks are amazing and food is fresh clean and classic with a bang. Love!

Order a Mojito Royale, could also be called a "Copenhagen". Good stuff!

Creative cocktail menu . Delicious Tom Collins

The cheese curds are phenomenal! Easily better than the Old Fashioned's.

Order cocktails from Matt at the bar . You will not regret it.

Amazing cocktails and super friendly bartenders .

Bourbon ? if you like try "Father's Favorite." You won't be disappointed.

Great cocktails and pretty good food

Gumballhead on tap , one of the brightest, most unique beers in the states !!

Classic cocktails and retail liquor in store for sale
