    A Dallas classic. Menu has not changed in years and is kept constantly outstanding. Friendly service and great atmosphere. You cannot go wrong here.

    We shared the bib salad with cold crab. It was fabulous and it’s a meal in itself! My meal was a pecan crusted fish and it was could feed two people. The dessert was a a normal size slice. It’s a little heavier than most Keylime pies and not as limey tasting, but still delicious. If you want to impress a girl, this is the place to take her.

    Hands down to The Mercury! From Appetizers, Salads, Entrees down to desserts are really great. It was my first time, I did great in choosing my food. Their food quality and taste is excellent. Presentation is perfect. I ordered Wedges of Iceberg Lettuce with goddess dressing, black cod for my entree and a slice of Coconut Cake that everyone shared and it was heavenly. My Bosses ordered something else. They shared it with me so I could have a taste knowing it was my first time, they were all tasting so awesome. Great serving portions. Excellent service!

    A classic.
    I love this place. The food and service are always excellent. The restaurant has an old Dallas-like feel and a formal/work dinner ambiance. Mercury is also a great neighborhood spot, and it's a good place to bring guests from or out of town.
    The appetizer selection is excellent. My favorite dishes are the brick chicken, veal Milanese, risotto, foie gras, and salmon.

    Amazing dining experience with great flavor profiles on the dishes.
    The highlight for me was the Couscous Carbonara on the appetizer menu. The poached egg on top puts it over the top, beautifully rich dish.
    Bread service includes a wonderful smooth pate, so that is a huge bonus.
    Service is beyond attentive and the dining room is upscale.
    Highly recommended.

    We celebrated a friend’s birthday. Positively the best experience. The valet greeted me with a smile and parked my car! The Greeters interacted with a personal and friendly attitude. My servers were very attentive! Offered great selections and asked for feedback on the meals. All our meals were picture perfect and most of all delicious. We’re already scheduling a return visit.Thank you for a wonderful experience!

    The food was good and the service was fair. They didn't seem to be on top of their game when we were there. The price was a little high for what they were providing.

    Great restaurant. Waitstaff and bartenders were great.

    Started with the yellowtail sashimi appetizer, which was outstanding.

    The veal marsala was very good. The veal was perfectly fork tender. Very high quality.
