   From the moment we walked in my coworker and I were treated like VIP's. The food was incredible, the vibe was perfect, and all the staff were attentive and energetic. To end the evening, we were escorted upstairs to enjoy our dessert!

   Delicious steak frites. The most sublime chocolate soufflé — one for the ages. Dopamine firing in the brain with each bite.

   Service staff was great. Went for lunch. Turned out to be brunch. No Vegan options except a small salad. Excellent house champagne is $40 a glass so you might want to know that before you order one. Noise level high.

   Went for lunch on a Friday and as the restaurant filled up it got pretty noisy. The food was good, but we thought it was a super high price point for a burger and fries. Glad we went, but very unlikely to go back.

   We enjoy downstairs and upstairs equally. The food is exceptional and the staff is fabulous. The aesthetic of both spaces is alluring.

   The service was all over the place, the burger was well done halfway through and rare the other half. Drinks were $20+ for small cocktails, and we felt rushed throughout the entire experience. Was just an uncomfortable experience and will not go back. Better food and drinks for better prices elsewhere.

    Love visiting Lucy Mercer, I always feel welcome when I’m there! The vibes were great but the only problem was the music and the volume. I was told the owner/manager was the DJ and the music selections definitely didn’t fit the vibe of the evening. Also it was incredibly loud and I could barely hear the people I came with which led to everyone in the bar screaming over each other which made the experience a lot less enjoyable than my previous visits. I highly recommend they hire a DJ or have a curated playlist playing at an enjoyable level. Other than that the service was great!
