Dinner was delicious. Upon arrival, the noise level was way too loud. It was very difficult to get a drink at the bar due to the crowd.

Food was good. The waitress had a negative attitude. She acted like we were bothering her.

All good, food and service was excellent. Had a reservation and was seated on time. The noise level is very loud. The combination of the din of the crowd, and the piano music made it very hard to hold a conversation.

We started dining at the Merion Inn when we were dating, and have now been married 51 years. The food is even better than 50 years ago. The fried shrimp & scallops were large, tender and very crisp. Coleslaw and potato cup delicious. My husband's steak cooked perfectly and very tender. Lobster and crabmeat in sauce was too rich for our taste, but still delicious. Our waitress was attentive and pleasant. Tables well spaced such that we felt comfortable even with covid. Interior decor charmingly victorian.
