The delightful combination of a freshly prepared salad and a steaming, aromatic risotto demonstrates the restaurant's commitment to excellence, even in takeaway format. It’s this thoughtful packaging and attentiveness to both food and service that keeps customers coming back.

Great place to have a meeting in the city. Lovely traditional food. Nice service. Recommended ...
Fantastic time, quality food.
We turned up early for our 6pm booking (around 5.30) this was no problem. we choose where to sit as the restaurant was empty. Order for drinks was promptly taken. drinks served and orders taken for starter and main. Starters we again served promptly. Jazz music playing at a good level. Dorset crab on toast was very tasty, I did have 3 oysters with the starter, very fresh with the Bloody Mary dressing. For the main Calf’s liver, grilled bacon, bubble ‘n’ squeak, onion gravy. Which again was cooked to perfection. The bubble was a version I had not tried before, with peas as the main greens. We decided not to have dessert but cheese, a good selection of British cheeses, these did seem a little cold to be served. The service was exceptional, which I did expect as when we left we were still the only 2 in the establishment. I consider this restaurant to be a good find, great food and service, which I strongly recommend.
A truly wonderful restaurant — one of those rare places you find yourself wanting to return to again and again. The food is absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff is incredibly attentive and friendly. We've also tried their new *Risotto Take Away* option twice now and were very pleased both times. Our choice — *Meal For One* — included: * 1 Salad (Tomato, Shallot & Basil Salad) * 1 Risotto (Truffled Wild Mushroom) * 1 Drink (San Pellegrino Aranciata Rossa) Both times we received a aromatic, still steaming risotto, a freshly prepared salad, and a perfectly chilled drink that complemented the meal. It was all absolutely delicious, the portions were generous, everything was ready exactly on time and very thoughtfully packaged. A huge thank you — we’ll definitely be coming back!
A gem! Outstanding lunch with just enough choice to be easy to decide, rather than overwhelmed. Drinks menu is spot on and most importantly, the service was well timed with courses being well spaced and service in between, done very well. I highly recommend The Mercer if you wish to enjoy your lunch but have unhurried time and space to discuss work topics too.
A real gem. From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome, significant. It was clear to see other customers were also made to feel just as important. I was delighted to see the frequent hand washing along with multiple electronic hand sanitizer dispensors around the establishment. Tables were thoughtfully set with ample space between to allow a safe dining experience. Beautifully presented and full of flavour the food was simply wonderful. A place to be enjoyed by everyone who ventures through their door, I look forward to another meal here soon.
Outstanding service, food and a good ambience. Thoroughly recommend for a business lunch or dinner. They have several private dining rooms with excellent menu choices.
I was lucky enough to be taken here by some clients for lunch. There was a great choice of food. I had a warm black pudding salad to start (absolutely amazing), followed by a smoked haddock risotto as a main (lovely and filling). Service was very smooth even during their lunch time rush. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
