Inside there was WAY too much onion and hardly any shrimp. My friend ordered the ceviche de camarón. It tasted fine, although I've had better, but when I removed a chip from on top of the plate there was a hair!!!! I let the waitress know and she did take it off of our bill which was nice. Needless to say I will not be returning. The taste of the food wasn't great and for the price, there are better marisco restaurants in Joliet.

Located in downtown Joliet, this is a Greek restaurant conveniently located near the parking…read moregarages. There's also a parking lot next to here for closer spots. It's in an old bank. It's cool to see the vintage interior designs. We went in the evening and it was pretty quiet. The staff were extremely friendly. I appreciate that they take a couple of minutes to engage with you in conversation. We got an "appetizer" that was a shot of alcohol. I believe it was called an Aperitif drink. The server said it's a tradition before you start a meal and helps encourage your appetite. It was good. I ordered the lamb burger and fries. It was delcious. It was cooked perfectly with a lot of flavor. I was full after that meal. I had no room for dessert! The prices were reasonable, too. It's a sophisticated yet informal type of restaurant if that makes sense. I don't visit Joliet often, but I would come back and try something else off of the menu.

My better half ordered fried catfish and fries overall fresh and tasty. We both rated our meals a 4 out of 5. The customer service was outstanding 5 out of 5. Our waitress which I believe her name was Tina - was on top of her game very very focused on our table and came to check on us frequently. She took the time to bag my leftovers up and take a picture of us while we were dining. It was an excellent experience. The restaurant was pretty big and the ambience was cute 4 out of 5. The price of the food was reasonable and the options to build your own seafood bag was a nice touch. They had several specials on the menu which was pretty cool. Overall it was a great experience!

My husband found this old school restaurant that was established in 1933 with high Google ratings…read morethat was conveniently located on the way to the Rialto Theatre where we were headed for a concert. So we tried it. Merichka's serves good food with good service in a non-fancy kind of restaurant. It has various dining areas and a small bar. The room we sat in was nondescript with not one decoration on the walls. The multiple ceiling fans were running so I froze all throughout dinner. I didn't get our server's name, but she provided good service and was engaging. She always came back to check on us. The other staff we encountered was thorough in delivering food and removing dirty plates. We started with cocktails, a bourbon neat for him and an old-fashioned for me. My husband enjoyed his bourbon, however my old-fashioned was Wisconsin style which I didn't enjoy. We shared the mushrooms as a starter - I have to admit they were perfection! The portion was generous and the crust was perfectly crispy without being greasy. I think we missed the boat, though, because we didn't order the onion rings, which looked sensational. Dinners come with a relish tray and a couple sides. The relish tray had cottage cheese, a bean salad and a pasta salad. Again, generous in size. My hubby had a steak with fried shrimp for dinner and his sides were a salad and twice baked potato. He ordered the steak rare because he didn't trust that it would be cooked to medium rare. He was right to go rare because it came out a little pink. I opted for the baked cod for dinner with a salad and twice baked potato. My cod was 12oz and was moist and flaky. I didn't even put a dent in my dinner because I was full from the mushrooms and relish tray. We ended up bringing most of our entrees home. I'm glad we tried this restaurant out, but honestly even though the food was decent, I didn't enjoy the bare bones atmosphere and being uncomfortable throughout dinner because the fans were on. If you like a supper club without the frills, I think you would like this place.
