Mercantile

Mercantile has an attractive space with an enjoyable menu to select from. Everything was prepared well and the service was very good; knowledgeable and genuine. Stand out dishes for us were the beef cheeks, charred cabbage, and octopus. Lots of enjoyment there! Caviar was also tasty. Spiced carrots were a miss for us; dill forward and not actually spicy. 8/10. Definitely a good spot for a high quality meal. We’ll be back eventually. Also very gluten free friendly.

I visited during lunch time on a weekday to take a customer out to lunch. As it was a business meal I was looking for a place where a conversation is possible, food is good, ambiance is nice, and service leaves nothing to desire. I am glad I landed on Mercantile. First off, the ambiance is perfect for a business meal. It’s not too crowded or loud and it’s nice and airy. There’s also outside and inside seating. Food was great. I liked the 2 course lunch options a lot. I opted for the poke and strawberry salad. They were both very well-prepared and without it being heavy. The salad had just the right amount of dressing and the poke had great proportions. I highly recommend bringing your customer, or whoever, to Mercantile for a nice lunch. I’ll definitely be back.

For an unparalleled dining experience in Denver, look no further than Mercantile inside Union Station. Their service is impeccable, and the food is simply outstanding. I've never had a mushroom dish that blew my mind quite like theirs did. And the pork chop and duck? To die for! I'm already counting down the days until I can go back.

Visiting from Dallas, TX for my 30th birthday and couldn’t have been more pleased to stumble upon this place. Ray was such an amazing and attentive server. She was extremely knowledgeable about any questions I had regarding the menu and made the best possible recommendations. Can’t wait to make this a tradition to come eat here when I’m in Denver. Thanks Ray!

The wife and I were celebrating 21st wedding anniversary. We sat at the counter and had 4 courses served by the manager. The GM popped by to say hi as well. I was very impressed, black cod was incredible, gnocchi fluffy as a cloud. We did order the wine pairing and that was a great compliment. Incredibly professional kitchen. A+

Came for a birthday dinner and it was a great experience. The server Alyse was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. She started the meal off right with sparkling wine for the birthday which was a very thoughtful touch. The cocktails were inventive and all of us tried the Sesame, which is Mercantiles take on a whiskey sour. It was well balanced with Woody Creek Rye, sesame (didn't take over flavor of cocktail) along with four other ingredients. It is served with a large cube and I find those to make bourbon drinks the best. We liked everything we ate. The bread service comes with three homemade rolls with soft and pillowy butter. The cabbage had a delicious slightly spicy crunch with mustard seeds and cooked to perfection. I tried beef cheeks which I can't recall that I've eaten before. They were very tender and served with foie gras which is always a delicacy. It also came with truffled polenta and dandelion greens. The dish is rich and filling. The only letdown was the dessert. The tiramisu had a major punch of some alcohol which was overbearing and unneeded in my opinion. The cream they use is divine but 3/4 of the dessert went uneaten. I'd recommend a description if veering away from a traditional take on this normally stellar dessert. The restaurant itself is well run and this is a fine dining establishment I'll return to again.

The food was delicious but the executive chef missed there was wheat in the semolina flour pasta and I had an allergic reaction. The restaurant apologized but after paying $$$$ and flying from Florida to eat here it was a bit of a downer. Disappointed that the chef didn't come over to apologize. Sitting at the chef counter is very warm, as there's no ventilation from the heat of the kitchen, or a fan/air vent to cool the area. Be prepared with your clothing choice.

Loved this place. Food was fantastic- loved the eggplant, the octopus was tender, the endive salad was delish. I did not love the risotto - I found the corn added too much sweetness. (I have less sweet and salt tolerance than the average person). The bread basket of Hawaiian buns was also perfect! Warm with a thin shiny coating of butter. Servers were knowledgeable, they can even compile a menu for you if you won’t want to think too much about it. Space and ambiance were peaceful, beautiful lighting abound from the tall ceilings. The furniture generally looked like natural materials. Accessible from both inside and outside union station. Michelin mention for the year!
