First visit to A.Kitchen and it was a great experience from start to finish. Sat at the chef's counter where we watched our chef juggle the lunch crowd by himself with a smile and great skill. We had a glass of wine from the small but well-selected list and a specialty cocktail. Great start. One server for the small room but she was so nice and attentive despite the challenge. Opened with the Chickpea Panisse. A unique taste of delicately fried chickpeas, not a falafel ball, but a relative over tahini and charred veggies. Large steak frites came with huge steakhouse fries, perfectly grilled as ordered. Branzino was a filet grilled to absolute perfection with tiny veggies all around. One chance for a first impression and A.Kitchen over delivered.

We love Mabu. The food is consistently good, the service is wonderful and the ambiance is cozy. The menu is small but very varied so there is something delicious for everyone to enjoy. This time we also had the dessert. The mudpie was rich and intensely chocolatey. The tiramisu was velvety and airy. It is also a BYOB, which I really like.

We were seated promptly. No server came to our table for close to 15min. A young woman we assumed to be a manager came over to apologize and get our server. A couple minutes later she came back and said she was going to be our server. Although a couple of mistakes were made (and corrected) with our order, her level of hustle and professionalism that we experienced, and saw as she tended to other tables was truly remarkable. If she wasn't the manager, she should be! Unfortunately, I don't recall her name. We tipped 40% we were so impressed. The food was great and they've upgraded the video wall in the 'outside-enclosed' seating area. It was displaying the moon above a Christmas village with snow falling...similar to the video walls at the Comcast building, if you've ever seen it. So, the ambiance was great too. Great place for a mid-week dinner.

My friends and I came here to celebrate my friends birthday. The food was absolutely amazing, I mean delicious. Mufahja was our waitress and so nice The entire staff was friendly, and they even made accommodations for us to have the lamb chop lollipops that are usually served at happy hour only. So shout out to the chef! Drinks were also good as well

First time at Merrick's Tavern and we're glad we came! Service was excellent. The waitress was attentive. The food was delicious. Loved the appetizer (Cabbage with pear). The French Onion Soup was the best! So filling. The pork chop was tender. Risotto so flavorful. No room for dessert! Highly recommend Merrick's. We will definitely return:-)
