    Cocktail
    Maria J L.

    Food drinks: The food at this location was good. We didn't get the steaks and potatoes, and it wasn't something out of this world, but it was good. The drinks were also pretty decent. I truly didn't really like the fact that they were a bit small, and the serving (which I will insert pictures) seemed as if I had already drunk some, if that makes sense. I assume it's to fit the aesthetic that they do have, which is really nice, but I also just wish I got exactly what I wanted when it came to quantity. I can truly say that the food wasn't memorable, but the location definitely was. Location: This location is very nice, and I really like the aesthetic. It's low-light, and it's perfect for a date. It's definitely not casual. I would definitely dress more business casual or truly just dress up. This is a perfect location for a date or a special occasion. We stayed in the hotel that's connected to this restaurant, so I'm not sure how parking works within this location, as we stayed in the garage for the hotel and didn't really have to worry about that. Service: Service was great, and we didn't have to wait much for our food, and everything was provided as expected.

    We had a reservation for 5:30 on a Friday and were seated right away. There were plenty of other tables so this is a good time to come if you don't have a reservation. Four of us ordered appetizers for the table. We had the crispy yuca, the empanadas, the ceviche and the NY strip anticuchos. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. I ordered the Peruvian chicken for dinner and ended up taking most of it home with me because I was so full. The next day when I reheated it for lunch it was just as good!

    Tremendous service, delicious food, and a lush ambience. The restaurant has South American cuisine that is rich in flavor. Each dish arrived fairly quick and was plated with excellence! The steak was tender and spiced well, the plantains were absolutely amazing (sweet, thick, and coated with a nice char)! The lamb came with a delicious red chili sauce, (although was bit less tender than the steak). The potatoes were seasoned well and topped with shredded cheese. The tres leches is moist and worth a try (although it is more of a rendition of tres leches). The expresso martini is absolutely delicious (perfect balance of sweet, froth, and flavor). Overall, Mercy Me is a great place to dine and I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for an elevated South American dining experience!

    Pros: very very cute ambiance! It felt like you could go there for any occasion and have a good time . They also had a live jazz band playing with was really nice. The food was good and the service was great. Very friendly staff . Cons: though I thought the food was good , it could've def used more flavor on the chicken and others . I had to add salt .

    Mercy me is inside a boutique hotel in DuPont circle. I love live music especially jazz and I heard great things about their live jazz music on Wednesdays. The weather was nice and the windows were open with a lovely breeze. The band playing was very good, I stayed for 2 hours and really enjoyed it. I would have loved to stay longer but unfortunately I had to leave due to table reservation time allotment (typically two hours). The service was pretty good and attentive. The 3 stars is for the food and drinks. This place isn't necessarily cheap and nothing on the menu really caught my eye so I asked the waiter for recommendations. I got the fugazetta and some drink I can't remember the name of it. It was okay, nothing special. The fugazetta had too much ricotta and the dough was about underbaked for me. I would come back here just for the live jazz on Wednesdays but the food and drinks need to be much improved, there was a lot left to desire and with a bar/restaurant in a hotel this nice, I expected better quality.

    This was my favorite restaurant I have gone to in a long while. Although the dishes are in the pricey side, some of these bites were so amazing! The tuna tiradito had so much juice, flavor, and freshness in each bite and the strip steak was perfectly cooked and presented very nicely! However one of the more unique dishes I had was something we ordered last minute - the black truffle fugazzetta - hard to describe as the bread, bacon, and truffle are putting in hard work in each bite but you just have to try it!

    Amazing experience (dare I say one of my top fives this year!)! We went on a Wednesday night and there was live jazz music and the vibes were 100%! The espresso martini and la Manzana drink were very balanced, top-notch, just the right amount of alcohol! We ordered four small platters and one main course and it was the perfect amount. Actually, we had some leftovers. The black truffle bread (fugazetta) is phenomenal. You have to order it. Do not miss it. I haven't had something like that anywhere else. My second favorite was the red snapper ceviche again perfect balance, and presentation. And of course, do not forget the Chaufa - definitely very shareable with chunks of crab, shrimp and a perfectly seasoned rice serve served with fennel salad! The menu is small, but mighty! Our server, Anton, was phenomenal. Everything he recommended was a hit both on the drinks side and on the food. I am glad he served us !! I cannot get over how great the ambience was with the music (that you can actually hear each other too), the lighting , the decor. This was my second time at MercyMe and I can't wait to come back again and again.

    I would say I enjoy the atmosphere. The music is very upbeat with Latin music and a great place for happy hour with coworkers, but I didn't really enjoy my food. The steak skewers were a bit too tough and very pricey for the portion. I will give this place another try one day

    this bar is tucked away in the yours truly hotel in West End, DC. My posts are from me starting from the inside and then the outside trying to different drinks. I sold the Bartender on Fox 5 and decided to go, especially since it's just two blocks from my office. I was not disappointed.

    Old fashioned
    Rebecca H.

    I came here for dinner last year. I thought the yucca fries were good and I liked the sauce it came with. I was disappointed with the wagyu saltado. It was a bit dry and not very flavorful. The old fashioned cocktail was good though. I thought the food was overpriced for what it was but the restaurant was beautiful and had a nice ambiance.

    Tres leches
    Jonathan B.

    Restaurant Week: Arepas were absolutely delicious. They were not finger-food ready as the arepas broke easily in my hands. Chicken was great and it had amazing seasoning! I did feel like they could have added rice and beans to this plate to make this more filling. I still felt hungry after finishing this plate. I've had cheaper, better tasting chicken and sauces at other Peruvian places. The tres leches was disappointing too! Some bites were rather tasteless so it didn't soak up much of the flavors like a proper tres leches cake should. I went and still had two slices of pizza after this meal to feel full.

    Garden House Salad
    Luke M.

    I'm staying at the Yours Truly hotel for a few weeks, so I'm definitely spending some time at Mercy Me! With my first trip, I started with the Melon Marg. Nice and light, not too sweet. Then out came the garden salad. This salad is incredibly refreshing. Full of great flavors and textures. Highly recommend. Not large enough to be a single meal but a wonderful starter or side. My main course was the Empanada de Mariscos (blue crab and shrimp). These were decent - the addition of the salsa verde was a nice touch. The place itself has a great look and vibe to it. The music was a little loud for my taste - it felt more like a company party than a place to get dinner. I just hate competing with music when talking with someone over dinner. That being said, the food was enough for me to warrant a second trip to try more of the menu!

I was curious to try one of their best sellers - monkey bread, and it didn't disapoint. A solid breakfast with on point service before catching the metro to Virginia. I really enjoyed my visit here and would return in a heartbeat.

The coffee shop is on the first floor, and offers delicious hot and cold drinks along with a beautiful selection of pastries. This time I enjoyed a cappuccino, and it was spot on. I can't speak for the pastries, but they looked good. The cafe has a cozy/might-overhear-a-state-secret vibe. If you're a visitor to D.C. and reading this, I'd say if you want to sit down and enjoy a coffee in a place with a comfortable atmosphere and handy location, give it a go. Just be aware that it's a bit pricier than what you'd pay at Tatte, and there are fewer choices. This was my second time here, and I would return. On the second floor of the space, you'll find the restaurant Cafe du Parc. I was very excited to eat here. The atmosphere was nice, in a light-filled, non-pretentious way. On the day I was there, there was construction going on and scaffolding on the front of the building that blocked the views of Pennsylvania Avenue. The restaurant was loud, and it was hard to have a conversation. Service was fast and the food came out even faster. Unfortunately, in my opinion, the food was just "meh." This was super disappointing as the prices were a bit high and I was looking to splurge on a nice lunch with a friend. The one thing I wasn't looking for was to be charged $5 (each) for "still water," which I'm not convinced wasn't from the tap. To be fair, the table adjacent to us was having burgers, fries, and other sandwiches, and it looked a lot better than my flavorless Nicoise Salad. My friend had the Spinach and Feta Phyllo Pastry, and said it was good. I'm going to be super generous and give the restaurant a 3 and assume maybe I made a poor choice with my sad salad and the noise level was because it was very busy (Cherry Blossom Season). This was my first time here, and I likely would opt to try a different restaurant next time.
