This was my first time to eat at Merrick Inn! I was thoroughly satisfied with the food and service. We will definitely be going back again soon. Emma was an excellent waitress…very attentive. The setting was in a beautiful, old mansion.

This is a must stop location for us when we travel to the area. We enjoyed our food on the patio. Our waitress was efficient but may have been newer since she seemed to mix some things up and wasn’t overly friendly ( not rude either)

Always a pleasure. Merrick Inn has the comfort of an old favorite with the exciting menu of a contemporary hot spot. I can’t recommend it more.

Service was slow, the special (Halibut) was quite over cooked and dry. A long wait between drinks and food, 20+ minutes with no bread or etc until we asked! Then we’re told by the server that they don’t provide unless the guest asks for it!

Very nice historic restaurant. All staff were very attentive and professional. Our table had a wide variety of food which was prepared very well. We chose tuna and calamari for appetizers, both of which were outstanding. Complete list of wines and spirits. Entrees had excellent flavor, but were under the warm light a bit too long. Otherwise no complaints, we will return. Worth noting, they have a free valet parking for those who drive themselves.

Excellent !

There were 8 of us and we all had wonderful meals.

Had a delightful dinner. Excellent service ! Very attentive. Gouda mac and cheese was served cold however. Wonderful atmosphere though and the salmon here is to die for - always cooked to perfection

This place is OUTSTANDING! Went upon the recommendation of a colleague. Take my recommendation (which copies his, haha). Get the Bourbon Slushie, regardless of your taste for bourbon...Get the Hot Brown and Beef Tenderloin (even if it is not on then menu at dinner). And, ask Clay, the GM, to tell you the story of the thoroughbred, Merrick, and the history of the Inn.

Our first time and we were extremely pleased with the food. Everything else was good too. The only negative was that it was quite loud for such a small room.
