We were given a generous gift certificate so after nearly a year we finally found time to visit this spot. My wife had been before but it was my first visit. I'm sure there are many great reviews of this place, giving lots of details. For this reason, I'm only going to hit the highlights for me during my visit. Service was EXCELLENT. From the moment I walked in until I walked out, I lacked for nothing in the way of service. It's in the top handful of my experiences in this regard. The food was all excellent. Well prepared and pleasant presentation. Atmosphere here is nice. Great vibe for date night. It's expensive, but not out of line with top restaurants in this area. read more

I've been here a few times. It's a staple restaurant in this part of town. Nice ambiance, great for a date night! I went for lunch this time and it just wasn't hitting on this visit. We both had burgers. All of them have this mayo sauce. They do list it on the menu. I decided to go with it, but usually do not like it. I wish I had asked for it on the side. Everything seemed under seasoned, but we'll prepared. read more

Service was good, ambiance nice albeit a bit dark. Only half of our table was lit enough to see, the other half was too dark to read the menu. Lunch they have a special burger menu of various burgers and sandwiches. I orderd off the special and it was just a bland burger. The patty and tots needed salt. I expected flavor in addition to good preparation and this was disappointing read more

Always love the ambience of The Mercury. Wonderful service by Carol. She let us set the pace and was very helpful throughout the night. Started with martinis which were very good but a little pricey for a basic martini. Food was generally very good but again pricey ($62 for Halibut, $49 for risotto w/shrimp). Highly recommend the pomme Frites, dynamite topping, and the creamed spinach (although I would ask to hold the cheddar cheese on top of the spinach). The only disappointment this night was the dessert. We were excited to order a Grand Marnier soufflé. Unfortunately, it came out burnt and dark on most of the top. I was surprised they let that get out of the kitchen and even more surprised that they served it to us. I would've said something, but everything had gone so well for the night and we did have another dessert which was very good to go along with it. Also it would've taken a long time to make another soufflé, plus we had to get somewhere. Oh well it's rare but it happens. read more

Initially, we had a very poor experience at The Mercury due to an incident with a server and a disappointing response from lower management. After submitting a complaint, the general manager personally called me to apologize and invited my family back to dine and make the situation right. Upon giving The Mercury another chance, we were blown away by the service and the quality of the food. Our server, Mehdi, was incredible. It's hard to find good service nowadays, but this place is amazing. I recommend any of their steak dishes and their pomme frites, both of which are sensational. We will definitely be returning and I am grateful for the response from the GM and the server. read more

Service was uneven at best, slow and gruff at worst. It was difficult to get information on the wine list and when we asked for a second bottle, they didn't understand and we had to ask again. When our server finally made it to our table he expectantly looked at us to take our order. But, we were never given menus. Mind you, this is about 20-30 mins into our stay. Dining room in the back was a little drafty and they initially tried putting our group of five at a HUGE round table meant to seat 8-10. I did enjoy the Dover sole special but in terms of overall experience I won't rush back anytime soon. read more

Came here for a friends birthday and was extremely impressed with the ambiance, food, service, and on top of that they have some of the best risotto I've ever had in Dallas. Would recommend this restaurant 10x over and shoutout to Herminio for the outstanding service her did an amazing food and had great suggestions. Come check them out. read more

Thank You to The Mercury and our superb server Corey for making my son's 40th Birthday Celebration an amazing experience. Corey went above and beyond in providing excellent service and the food was perfect. I highly recommend both The Mercury and Corey for any dining occasion. We will definitely be back often! read more

We went for a birthday celebration and everything was superb! We had caviar, the wagyu beef on rock (special), steak, veal, filet of sole (special) and Grand Marnier soufflé. The service was great. Probably the best Old Fashioned I have ever had. It's expensive but for a special occasion, it won't disappoint. read more

The Mercury consistently impresses with high-quality food, stylish ambiance, and thoughtful service--perfect for a celebratory evening or an intimate dinner. However, it's not the quietest or most budget-friendly option. The fish dish I ordered was beautifully presented and full of flavor, though the portion was on the smaller side. Overall, a refined dining experience that's worth trying, especially for special occasions. The Mercury 餐厅以高品质的菜品、时尚的氛围和贴心的服务令人印象深刻，非常适合庆祝场合或浪漫约会。不过，这里并不是最安静或最实惠的选择。 我点的鱼类主菜摆盘精致、味道出色，但份量略显不足。整体来说，这是一家值得一试的高档餐厅，尤其适合特别的日子。 read more

Came for a client lunch here. It was super busy, even at 1130. The decor is nice here and it is dimly lit. We had a back table that felt like a private room. The booths were nice and cozy. Our waiter was great. We got 4 lobster tacos to share for 8 people and our waiter split each taco and plated it nicely for us. It was super delicious and lots of large chunks inside. We also got shrimp cocktail and the yellowtail sashimi. Everything was super fresh. For my main, I got Caesar salad with salmon. The salad dressing was good and salmon was cooked perfectly. The lettuce was not cut up and the pieces were huge. Wish it was more chopped. Regardless, we would come back and visit The Mercury for our next business meal. read more

Best food in Dallas! Consistently good. Have been going there for years and never disappointed. Best bartenders, professional and friendly. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent food and service from beginning to end. We requested a quiet table and could not have been happier with the banquet for 6 in the back of the restaurant which provided us with a great view as well as enough space for us to have quiet conversation. The bread service to begin the meal is such a nice touch. I highly recommend the Sushi sampler and Sashimi of Yellow Tail to start off the meal. For entree, the Veal Milanese was exceptional, and my fellow diner raved about the Duck. Our server, Mercedes was absolutely delightful, providing the right amount of attention without being obtrusive. Will go back again for sure! read more

Everything! Spectacular! Chef Ward is magnificent and very involved in the day to day of the restaurant. The Mercury can't be beat! read more

First time here in about 15 years. Me and the squad like to eat earlier so we got there at like 5:20. Promptly seated and attended to. Nice dark restaurant. Server wasn't familiar with cocktails or mocktails, so just didn't get a drink. But here's what we ate: -crab dip - huge pieces of crab! Tasty -caterpillar roll - sushi had good taste but rice and wrapper lacked some quality -crunchy tuna roll -Brussels good but pieces too big, I like them smaller and crisped up -twice baked potato's A+ -salmon nice and healthy but missing a little flavor -ribeye pretty good, no complaints Overall pretty good with some variety! read more

Not sure how, being a native Dallasite, I missed The Mercury over the years. The atmosphere was classic upscale and the food was perfect. Based on how busy it became, they are in no need of publicity. It's apparent that they have many regulars that have been coming for years. They definitely hit the mark. I'm already looking forward to my return. read more

I'm probably here once a month at the point! The Mercury has the absolute best food in Dallas. You must try their grapefruit Kampachi. I have to get two orders every time I'm here because I'm obsessed! The toro nigeri cannot be beat. Another must here. Please trust me. The yellowtail jalapeño is another must. Don't skip on the cream brûlée. It's the best I've had at any restaurant. And ask for Brad. He's the best, and we always sit in his section. Want the best drink in Dallas? Ask for Monica. That woman knows how to pour a lean drink! 5 stars! read more

Enjoyed our second visit to the Mercury. This time to celebrate our wedding anniversary. As promised, we ordered the Caviar Egg which lived up to its reputation. It is divine. Also ordered a crab cake special with tomato, avocado and asparagus with balsamic glaze. We both ordered perfectly prepared fish. The portions are just right ... enough to be satisfying and still enjoy a shared side and a dessert. Service was again impeccable. We were treated well and felt we had made the perfect choice of place to celebrate our special occasion A special mention to the valet Aloys. He is welcoming and cheerful, efficient and incredibly, remembers the car in which you arrived without asking. read more

It's been years. Celebrating friend's birthday this Saturday night. Lively old school steakhouse vibe. Nice but not impeccable service, including not taking un-used glassware away; serving of next course while the prior course was still being enjoyed. As for dinner, absolutely delicious was their "Lobster Tacos"; no dressing, sparsely scattered of greens "pear & gorgonzola salad"; tender and tasty "lamb shank"; and, ending with great pours of hot coffee and a fantastic slice of "12 Layer Coconut Cake". A longtime Preston Hollow institution. "Here's looking at you, kid" CHEERS! read more

It's VERY DARK in there. On a weeknight, an older clientele. This fancy restaurant is in an unassuming plaza. Pretty random location... You get some bread with butter and pate (?) when you sit down. Tuna mignon ($40). There are mushrooms listed on the menu, but there were barely anyway. It was good and you can get it cooked rare or medium rare. I got medium rare, which was still pretty rare. But I really don't order tuna steaks out so I don't know how they should be cooked. It's small.. but it tasted good. Lamb shank ($37) looked like the best value because it looked bigger with a bigger portion of polenta... The service was good.. it wasn't as busy though. they refilled waters, refilled bread, patient with our party showing up late. You're going to pay for a nice dinner here. It's fine, but I wouldn't come back again. read more

Food portions were perfect, good service and romantic atmosphere. Mostly American cuisine but they've started adding sushi to the menu.

Really amazing experience. My wife and I just had our anniversary dinner and it did not disappoint. The menu is a really nice blend of sushi, French, and Italian dishes. The sashimi, caviar egg, duck, and risotto were delicious! Service was impeccable with excellent attention to detail. The interior design is beautiful. They started getting busy around 7, but did a great job making each table feel private. These folks know what they're doing and it shows. Thanks for the wonderful dinner! read more

Glad we came back to The Mercury! We have been fans since it first opened. We usually go there for our anniversary and other special occasions. We waffled this time, but finally decided to come back. They outdid themselves this time. Wonderful service by Corey, great food, romantic setting. We will be back! read more

This was our second visit to this restaurant and it was as delicious as I remember it! Tonight I tried the Kanpachi Grapefruit Special Sushi for an appetizer... this is fabulous!! If you want to be surprised and blown away by presentation then order this!! You will NOT go unnoticed....It is literally a smoke show! For dinner I went with the Black Cod... absolutely delicious!! Way better than Nobu!! And the presentation is perfection! My fiancé has the Lamp Chops which he really enjoyed! His side dishes were grilled asparagus and the French fries both of which he said were his favorite anywhere... the interiors... from my restaurant design background could use a little updating but I love their concept of hanging and selling art throughout the restaurant... always a brilliant way to get new art in a space! The service is impeccable and overall the pricing isn't outrageous. We might just make this hidden gem our neighborhood go to restaurant!! See you again soon! read more

The Mercury has gone downhill. We have been regulars at the Mercury sushi bar since it opened several years ago since the original sushi chef Roger was there. We have continued to to go regularly since Mathew has continued running it. Three weeks ago, on September 24th, we were treated very badly by one of the managers. This was beyond disappointing because we love the sushi, employees, and have great memories. We were watching the football game and then it randomly changed to tennis. We asked what happened and the waitress wasn't sure and got the manager. The manager said "our customer wanted to watch tennis." We explained that we had been watching football and changing mid game wasn't appropriate. He said the game was on in the bar and we could watch it there. My husband explained that we had just opened our bottle of wine and were already eating so we had no interested in moving. He said "You are not welcome here. Do not come back." The sommelier was shocked, knowing we are regulars, and asked me what he could do to make me happy. I told him that my husband just wanted to watch football and the manager said "Let them go. They are trash. We don't need them." He looked at me up and down with disgust. It felt very icky. This was beyond shocking and quiet upsetting. I wrote a letter to Lisa Clark at M Crowd Restaurant Group and haven't heard back. I gave her a few weeks. As a former restaurant owner, know things are busy, but would have responded by now. We will not ever return. read more

Tanner made our dining experience extra special. Absolutely phenomenal, flawless, exceptional, magnificent, superb service. Probably the best service I have had at a restaurant in my life.

A very classy establishment, to say the least. read more

Excellent food: had the always great miso cod and shared a salad. But service was very slow - 2.5 hours all in. Think they had a small party in the back and maybe all the orders came at once, but it was a letdown. Also, server kindly escorted my mom in a mobility scooter to a restroom she could not get into. The one by sushi was much more usable. read more

Our first time to visit the Mercury and it was fabulous. Hubs and I went for lunch and enjoyed ourselves very much. We ordered a lobster taco and couscous carbonara to start. Entrees were the braised veal cannelloni and a chili cheeseburger. The cannelloni was served on a warm plate and the temp was perfect. The asparagus that the cannelloni was set on top was crisp and fresh. The burger was amazing as well. Michael was our server. Super attentive, professional, informative and paid attention to detail. I had already used my main fork and knife. He noticed and brought me another set up without my having to ask. The atmosphere was warm and cozy. Bathroom was clean and smelled good. The open kitchen was great to see. They were all in the zone and you could see the choreographed ballet of cooking. read more

Experience on Downward Spiral!! Been going to this place since early 2000's and always enjoyed the food, experience , etc. Unfortunately the last few times have been less than good and our last time there was our final experience which officially deemed The Mercury as a place not to visit. Looked at several places for Mom's 70th Bday and due to our party size had to call in to make reservation. As expected of a place with rudderless mgmt, no reservation was found for our party. They sat us in the Wine Room which is basically out of sight and out of mind. We ordered bottles of wine and the waiter dropped the wine bucket (which things happen) and got my Mom's back soaking wet, wife's shoes/feet sopping and hit my face like a bucket of water thrown at it. Being a waiter before I understand things occur, but no urgency, no management, nothing came to us to address the situation. Based on the covers, this lack of attention wasn't due to being busy but seems to be the downward spiral of mgmt. On good note, the food is good, valet intro is awesome but overall Dallas has too many options for these kind of experiences. We go to the Mercury for all our dates nights and client dinners, but based on last experience I'm moving on to Al Biernat's, Mister Charles, etc that value the customer. Dallas has many better places to spend your time and money where you want to come back to enjoy. Adios Mercury! read more

Food was off. Lambshank was mushy and came out room temperature, bland. Halibut was dry and possibly overcooked, needed more seasoning. Crispy chicken also same issue, dry and unseasoned. Steak was overcooked. Appetizers were great: steak tartare, foie gras. Service was good, but food was not up to standards for the cost, read more

Came for lunch with a girlfriend. Loved the vibe; a tad to dark with lighting for my liking. Service was great; food was delicious. Price point was decent for the area and the portions. I'd definitely come back to try the sushi spot in the back of the restaurant. All in all nice find! read more

Our service was perfect. The decor is very nice. Solid wine list. Most of the food was very good. A few dishes were just ok

This place was so good!! Plenty of parking & there's even valet! Make a reservation in advance on open table app! I was a little turned off because my table mate waited 15 min & no one came to serve him, not even water! When I came the waiter came instantly. So We were a little confused and we did tell one of the waiters. The lighting is on the darker side but it didn't bother me too much. When our waiter came he was very attentive! The drink (lemon drop)was a little strong for my tasting. But the food was really good! I recommend the foie gras appetizer, it has mushrooms and it's on a bed of egg custard. I also recommend the gnocchi and mushrooms! Those were so cheesy and delicious! Super flavorful! The yellowtail wasn't as buttery as it should be In my opinion, it was on the chewier side. The halibut was bland to me, I liked the veggies that came with it though. Get the desserts! They are generous portions and really tasty. All In all I'll be back! read more

So here's the thing. I travel a lot and by a lot I mean A LOT. So there I was at the hotel yelping for a good spot. Up pops The Mercury and away I go. I sat at the bar because it's packed, a good sign. The bartenders, wow. On it. But here's why The Mercury is awesome. Next to me was an older gentleman and his wife enjoying cocktails and dinner. As I'm alone we strike up a conversation but as they're nearly done we don't get much time. After they leave, one of the bartenders (I hate that I can't recall his name) mentioned that the guy I was talking to was an American hero. As it turns out he actually is a hero having been awarded the congressional Medal of Honor. It's because the bartender wanted me to understand this man's efforts that he walked me through the story of his heroism. I'm truly truly grateful to him for relating this story to me. We think more often that great restaurants are great because of the food. But its really the human beings that work there that make it great. read more
