Reviews for The Mercantile Social in Halifax, NS
This place is 10/10. We have really high food standards and it takes a lot to impress us and all I have to say is wow. It was... fantastic and so delicious. Our waiter was such a gem and made sure we were well taken care of and had amazing recommendations.Sadly I didn?t get his name but he was an older gentlemen! Definitely recommend!! Read more
Dined here last night with a group of 9. Reservation made well in advance and we were placed at a table that was too small for 9... people so we were very crammed. Service was slow and probably took close to 2 hours for me to receive my main (others hadordered appetizers which came first, but I had not). When the food did arrive, portions were small, food was barely hot andtaste was a bit bland, disappointing for the price point. Service was just okay, our server was nice enough, but you could tellshe didn?t want to be there. Restaurant is beautiful, but I would say the service and the food is definitely not up to par withwhat you pay, there are a lot of better restaurant options in the area. Read more
Had a lovely meal at the Mercantile Social. They are certainly a ?cocktail spot? do go to but also have delicious food to back... that up. Read more
Amazing atmosphere. The tall table for 6 was perfect on the deck. Sangria was perfect as was the margarita. Our boys loved their... burgers. The fish tacos and California Super Food salad were incredible as was the Newfoundland Cod and cauliflower. And to topit all off, the cheesecake was a perfect way to end the evening. And of course the service was top notch. 5 out of 5. Read more

Had a very nice dinner here. The calamari appetizer is quite good. I had the NS halibut which was perfectly cooked. My partner... had the steak which was great. The desserts are very tasty as well. Read more
Really cool vibe with amazing interior decorations but... 1. Gets quite noisy during the evening. Bad acoustics? 2. Ordered a... Mohito which is good if you like it VERY strong with lots of alcohol, but bad if you like it tasty and minty. Not sure if Iwould want to go back but worth experiencing once? Read more
Atmosphere and architect was pleasant. The menu gave you delicious options for dinner. The pricing was in par for restaurants of... this caliber. The service started off excellent, but sadly it did not hold up throughout the meal. the appetizers came quicklyand were delicious. The drinks options were amazing and plentiful. Ordering our mains took longer than expected. It did appearour waiter was extremely busy with other tables. Which affected his ability to serve others adequately. Our main meal wasextremely delicious and tasteful. Our waiter did not come back once during our meal, did not ask if we needed anything. We didorder desert, it was delicious. For the price point and reputation of Mercantile, we did expect better service. This is thereason for three stars. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, sadly he did seem overly busy to give theproper service. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a good menu. Read more
