Reviews for 220 Merrill in Birmingham, MI
Ok, so without question, 220 Merrill was a very sweet treat!!! I was completely surprised when the hubby told me to “get... dressed, we have a reservation at 1:15”. Suspecting nothing (as I positively HATE surprises), I did as I was told and arrivedto a dining experience that was nothing short of SPECTACULAR!!! From the hostess who greeted us at the door to the sweetheartwho served us (Tamera??????), I was absolutely delighted with everything. The ambiance, the smooth music, the beautiful decor,the food (the honey Chile wings… we both got tacos, he shrimp, me tenderloins). Thank you to the amazing staff and personnel.This was truly an experience that will rest with me for some time. Can’t wait for my next reservation. FYI, the wet handtowels was the classiest thing ever!!! Read more
I enjoyed my time at 220 for my birthday brunch. Everything we ordered was amazing. The patio is congested and there were... annoying nets around. I think they over watered the plants. Some candles to keep the bugs away would be great. Our server wasamazing. We wanted to add mushrooms to the omelet and were told no the kitchen was too busy. So that was disappointing. Everyone left full and satisfied. My friend and I shared the omelet and lobster rolls. I would go back for sure. Maybe I wouldtry eating inside or a table that wasn't by the plants and like it better. Because of the bugs and not being able to addmushrooms I took away a star. Read more
Of course, you have to visit The most popular restaurant in Birmingham! The hostess and manager were the most accommodating,... even though we showed up w/o reservations..( we really wanted to get here, but booked the wrong restaurant) The menu is full ofoptions: from pizza to the most exquisite steaks for $200+ w optional lobster tails as and on. The drinks and desserts are jawdropping. My favorite was appetizer w fresh mouthwatering mozzarella. But then came disappointment. The waiter removedappetizers instead of dirty dishes, while I was busy making pictures. The steak was medium instead of medium rare . He tried toto convince me that it’s medium rare, then w quite hesitation suggested replacement. Anyhow, I was disappointed w feelingbeing rushed. It’s not a fast food place. It’s a prime location and I wanted to enjoy it w my family. PS Plastic chairs onthe patio give a cheap vibe to a fancy restaurant. Read more

The inside of 220 Merrill is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Very picture worthy. The prices are on the high end. But the experience is... great. The drinks are very pretty. I had the Short ribs and it was delicious and tender. The truffle fries were very tasty withthe special made sauce (definitely a shareable appetizer). I went for dinner. I plan to go back for brunch and lunch. The menusare totally different. I love that they offer Valet. Read more
Loved this place in Birmingham , so big from the inside. Beautiful lounge and bar. They have a dedicated area for small birthday... parties. We were 4 ppl and an infant. My husband tried the fillet and it was really good. I went with the kocher (Halal) chicken hamburger ( came not very well done , I was still feeling the raw chicken and when I called the waiter he took theburger itself and fixed it ) they should have brought another one .. that’s what usually other restaurants do ( they are notsupposed to touch my food) I couldn’t eat it anymore but ordered a salad that came so good. Overall food and place are good . Read more
This review is based on our lunch experience! We were the early birds and one of the first customers when it opened. Our service... was prompt and courteous. The sweet and spicy calamari arrived swiftly and tasted really good. Rest of our food was great aswell. Although shrimp tacos could have carried a bit more flavor and were leaning towards bland. Decor and seating makes it agreat place for dinner I am guessing with big bar taking central location, also fuzzy bubbles is a must try! Earns top marks inpresentation. Read more
First time here and definitely coming back. I got the fruity pebbles french toast to share and truffle fries. Both were good!... Fuzzy bubbles cocktail for brunch was also a good suggestion by the waitress. Reasonable prices, good location, great serviceand food! Read more
