    Outstanding meal and service. The dining room was located in their wine cellar. Our kind & thoughful server raised the thermometer but the room was still chilly. Our delicious dinner and amazing server made up for it. The rabbit dish was very flavourful and the creme brulee was out of this world. Because we dined at the end of the season, the wine list was limited but that did not prevent us from having a good glass of either white or red wine. The Peacock cocktail was delightful.

    We try to make it to the Merrill at least once or twice per year. It truly never disappoints. The wine list is superb and the food is always inspired and on point. Cannot recommend it enough.

    Delicious food, from the amuse-bouche to the dessert at the end (with a special treat! - a Happy Anniversary scrolled on the plate for our 32nd!) Highly recommend!

    Merrill Inn did not disappoint. We were a group of three and we all ordered different meals and desserts. Each one of us commented throughout our meal how delicious it was.

    Consistently high standard in food and service. It is a bit cold near the wine fridges.
