    The private dining room
    Steve W.

    My children hosted a surprise anniversary party in the private room for my wife and i. The environment was a place of elegance and amazing appeal for our 50 years of marriage. The service for 25 people was consistent, continuous, and above board! Oh, and the food... with a very varied menu, was exceptional. Over the years we have dined at Merrick from time to time and I must say, it never fails the palate. Kudos to Merrick Inn... it never fails!

    Sirloin asparagus corn pudding

    I can't say enough amazing things about Merrick Inn. Overall an incredible experience! The food was absolutely fantastic! The presentation was beautiful of the dishes, the whole place was absolutely beautiful. What an amazing place to dine for any occasion. The patio and bar area was so big and also beautiful! Our server was also amazing. I have never had such amazing service in my life. We were celebrating my mom's birthday and I am very glad we chose Merrick inn for her celebration!

    Sweet potato and asparagus
    Sydney H.

    The best part: the service! Sandy was the sweetest waitress, so very personable and attentive. The restaurant is cute, the decor is interesting and includes lots of drinking monkeys. The restaurant and tables are clean! The parking lot was just about full when arriving on a weekday night with reservations. Not ideal, but oh well, we move on. Half of the table found their meal to be average. I ordered the Italian pasta, which had beautifully crusted and cooked chicken, but the overall dish was lacking to me. The champagne sauce needed something due to its almost tanginess, which the bruschetta helped with, but I didn't taste any balsamic or other complimentary flavor. I didn't enjoy the sweet potatoes and found the rolls to be okay. The asparagus was great, although I do prefer it charred. The carrots were my favorite dish! The peanut butter pie was good, nothing to rave about. And the blueberry bread pudding was great flavor-wise, but was terribly sweet. Overall, everything was good. But at the prices I'm looking for more than good. I won't return unless my company wants to. Not a place that feels very accommodating to young families and not an ideal place to breastfeed.

    Seafood nachos no one would eat!

    Ask the Community - Merrick Inn

    Is this reservation only?

    No, but I highly recommend making a reservation on Open Table on weekends.

    Can you sit down at the patio without walking inside? Have a family member who cannot wear a mask, but would like a nice outdoor dinner.

    Yes. Enter by the dumpster (I'm not kidding), up the hill next to the patio.

This visit marked our third time at OBC Kitchen, and once again, it did not disappoint. This time we experimented with timing and booked an early reservation at 2:45 pm on a Saturday. We crossed over into the dinner menu and discovered something wonderful: the service and ambiance were even better than the busier evening hours after 6 pm. The staff was exceptionally attentive. Every dish and cocktail option was explained thoughtfully, which I appreciate, especially because I enjoy cocktails that come with a bit of theater. When drinks are presented with care, described well, and executed beautifully, the experience becomes part performance, part craft. Here, they delivered perfectly. The food, as always, was superb. We shared several chef selections including Beef Tallow Fries, Southern Grouper, Bacon in a Glass, and the Cola-Braised Short Ribs. Each dish was rich, flavorful, and confidently executed. Dessert continued the celebration with the Churro Cheesecake, and to our delight we were also gifted the Warm Buttermilk Donuts, which felt like a small act of culinary generosity. In a departure from my usual Manhattan and Old Fashioned flights, I tried a Bloody Mary and The Cure, both excellent and beautifully balanced. At this point I can confidently say OBC Kitchen is one of my favorite restaurants in the country. The consistency, creativity, and hospitality make every visit memorable. A special thank you to the team who took care of us on Saturday, March 7th, 2026. You elevated an already wonderful experience and made it even better than usual.

    A group of us went here and asked to be seated in the pasta room. We learned while we were there…read morethey would not be making pasta until later that day, so that was disappointing. But the food was so good! I had been there once before, shortly after opening, and thought it was so-so. But the 2nd visit was a much better experience. Since we had a large group, we sampled each other's dishes and everything was delicious. The burrata appetizer was really good. I had the "make me something sweet" mocktail and it was pretty and tasted refreshing. Our server was top notch and explained every dish on the menu, and gave us recommendations. He really took his time with us, and you could tell he was a pro. More excited to return after this second visit than after the first! 11/26

    First off, wait staff was very nice. Drinks from the bar were okay, definitely not the worst…read morechocolate martini I've ever had but definitely not the best. For our appetizer, we had the beef tartare, it was also just okay. We didn't even finish half of it. The star of the dish was the rye crisp, unfortunately. For our entree we had the baked rigatoni and the pork tenderloin. The pork tenderloin dish was delicious and so was the rigatoni. That was a plus. It was extremely loud in the restaurant. Be prepared to yell at your table partner. Between the amount of people talking loudly (I assume to attempt to talk over the loud music) and the music, and being seated really near other people, having a conversation was difficult. So don't go with anyone who is hard of hearing with background noise (my husband lol). Food took a little longer than what I'd prefer to come out. The restaurant itself had a great vibe and decorations were cute.

I was shocked that…read morethere was an up charge for added mustard (.25),.50 for added pickles (dill) and .75 for added Swiss Cheese. We didn't add any upgrades. Neither I nor my date could taste any Swiss Cheese. The Cuban bread was perfect. More pork than ham, but no swiss cheese taste. When I lived in Miami, Cuban restaurants offered sweet or dill pickles. I would have prefered sweet pickles. I was also alarmed that there was a .45 charge for take-out packaging. The Jaba'o rice was very good but bland as you would expect. I would suggest it be served with Pepperoncini Peppers. In summary. The bread was perfect. The Pork, Ham and Swiss Cheese was not in balance. It needed a little more mustard. Not enough Swiss cheese and pickles. I know Cuban sandwiches can be served with either sweet or dill pickles. I prefer sweet. No option. If they want to break the blandness of the Jaba'o rice, they will add a few pepperoncini peppers on the side. I will order again, I'll add more swiss cheese (at home) a little more dark mustard, and replace the dill pickles with sweet pickles. I will serve the Jaba'o rice with 2 pepperoncini peppers.
