This was our first time dining at Mercat. Our meal included: Seafood Payeya, Pulpit, Scallops, and 2 empanadas ( Seafood & Beef Rib). We each enjoyed two cocktails. My wife had 2 Thyme gin & tonics and I had the Forest gin & tonic and a red sangria. Everything was delicious. The service was great and the timing of delivery of the tapas plates was perfect. Will definitely return when we are in the miracle mile.
