At The Merchant, we make almost all our fare from scratch. The Merchant is a big space that served for more than a century as a leather store. We've brought in high-top tables near the windows ... A 40-foot bar on one side of the room ... And more formal dining spots on the opposite side. We have a semi-private dining room in back, and another dining room downstairs. For our menu, we cure and smokes all the meat in house. Our burger is top-notch, as are other dishes like steak frites, Parisian gnocchi, and "rustic" desserts. The Merchant serves salads, sandwiches ($15-$25), and more for the lunch rush. And for dinner, we are a full-service brasserie (with most entrees ranging from $22-$30). The bar has 36 beers on tap, many of them locally brewed, plus a full selection of craft cocktails to serve our patrons, especially the after-work crowd.
