Let's start with the service. Our server was fantastic…read more Ambiance, it feels a bit outdated and those animal busts hanging on the wall need to be dusted off. The food I can only recommend the fajitas, my wife had molcajete and the serving is bigger than Agaves. My children ordered the nachos. Sorry that yellow cheese was horrible and we had to go elsewhere for them. Try it out and judge for yourself.

The hostess who assisted us was Jasmine, she was polite and thorough. Tonight our server was Mayra. She was attentive, friendly and honest. We never had to ask for bread or to remove the dirty dishes. She was on top of the service the entire night. Another server we enjoy is Sylvia, she is interactive during the meals. She checks to see how the meal is going and the quality of the meal.

The service was also excellent, it was pretty full and the server still kept checking in on us. The burger was nothing special, but it was really solid.

We chose Rainbird for our Galentine's celebration on Sunday, 2-15-26. We had reservations at 12:30…read morepm. We were met by the greeter who proceeded to tell us to wait to be seated. The restaurant was not very busy and it took almost 20 mins just to be seated at our table. We then took our place at the table and we waited another 10-15 mins for someone to wait on us. We kindly flagged the young male server there and asked him if he could get our server to assist us. The young female server finally came out to assist us - she was not very welcoming but proceeded to take our drink order. It took almost 15 minutes to get our mimosas and water. She did not greet us, inquiry if it was our first time there or gave us suggestions on the menu. She then proceeded to take our order which took a while to get our food. The plus - everyone enjoyed our meals from the way they were prepared to the ingredients. No one ever came to our table and gave us any water nor did they ask for a refill on our drinks. During this time I peeked around the corner and saw staff just sitting in the back talking to one another. I tried to keep the experience positive for my group of friends but they were also growing concerned about the lack of hospitality. The lunch schedule was only until 2 pm but because of Rainbird's delay in seating us, taking our drink orders as well as the slight delay we felt we were now being rushed to finish our lunch, I also wanted to celebrate our friend's birthday and I brought a cake - the server proceeded to tell me it would be a $5 charge per person if I cut the cake there. She did offer to bring a complimentary dessert for our guest of honor. In my opinion, due to the service we were not receiving the cake fee should have been at least discounted or offset due to the lackluster enthusiasm and service. As we were trying to finish our lunch and take pictures at this beautiful establishment we could see the "side eyes" of staff rushing to get us out the door. I am a firm believer of supporting small businesses in Merced since I was born and raised there and let's face it - Merced has very limited fine dining and we wanted to do something nice for us. In order for small businesses to thrive in this town they need our consumerism to stay in business. As I read from all the exemplary reviews on this platform we unfortunately had a very bad experience with this lovely establishment. A group of us came from Madera so that we could meet our gals from Merced as a middle location. Needless to say we were very disappointed with the service as well as the treatment we received from Rainbird. Next year we will choose another location for our next gathering. Please do better Rainbird.

You can have value menu for light eaters. Plenty of parking. Nice deco. We ordered 3 shrimps tacos, avocado toast and mini breakfast burrito for a quick breakfast. Food came out rather quick. The toast is small and excellent but the tacos and burritos are just ok.

Love their coffee, especially the Blackberry coffee, and their sweets…read more Service is good. Food is alright, sandwich, salad, soup, etc. I like that they offer seasonal menu, but I wish they can offer french fries for the side options. In my opinion, this place is overpriced for a cafe in Merced. Salad/Sandwich is average around $21 - $25. With tax and tips, you will probably spend about $30+ for lunch here.

Great service and staff was friendly. Interior was clean,…read morelighting was good, and the staff treated me kindly. I ordered the Classic Burger (double patty with bacon) and it was fresh and delicious. I will definitely come back.

Came to Smash Bros before a movie and left feeling just whelmed…read more The inside is really open, but literally every table was atrocious... dirty, sticky, crumbs errwhere. We ended up finding a table we had to wipe off because every booth was disgusting. They seemed to have full staff behind the counter too, so not sure why there was no one bussing tables. We ordered: Flat burger - literally a flat burger.... um. Tasted basic, the smashed burger did not add anything. Just tasted like a leftover burger in my backpack I accidentally sat on while riding the bus home from middle school. Bombastic fries - fine, but a pretty small portion for the price. I liked the raw jalapenos Oreo shake - thick, tasty, fine. Overall, would probably not return.

Our food was delivered accurately, as were the drinks. Everything was delicious! A few of us took a take-home box, since the servings were large enough for an extra meal at home.

Forget what you might know about your average Chili's. This location has fantastic food, great service (thanks, Crystal!), personable wait staff, and clean restrooms. Our visit was truly a perfect experience for a restaurant in this price point! Perhaps most surprising was the high quality of food and service, even though the restaurant was absolutely full and surprisingly busy because of multiple large parties celebrating high school graduations. My family and I were only passing through on a road trip. If we lived closer to this area, we would certainly return for regular visits.

I went to Chili's with a group of 10 colleagues, and unfortunately it was a really frustrating…read moreexperience. We were originally told the wait would be about 45 minutes, which we understood. However, after waiting 1 hour and 15 minutes, we checked back in and asked whether we could split into smaller tables since there were multiple open tables for groups of 4. We explained that we were completely fine being treated as separate groups, having separate checks, and ordering independently. Even with that flexibility, we were told no because their policy does not allow large parties who arrive together to be seated separately. What made it especially disappointing was seeing open tables available while our group was still left waiting. We were trying to be accommodating and come up with a solution, but it did not seem like there was any willingness to work with us. We were a group of adults just hoping to enjoy dinner and drinks together after work, and instead we ended up leaving frustrated. I would recommend choosing another place if you are planning to meet with coworkers or come with a larger group.
