    It is always the expectation to grant some grace and patience when a new restaurant opens. Often they are working through the process to ensure smooth service with new staff, new space, new kitchen, new customers. Clearly, this concept was implemented by well seasoned hands. The execution was absolutely flawless! The food was perfectly timed. The drinks were very well balanced, beautiful and delicious!! Our server was very knowledgeable of the drink as well as the dining menu. We were grateful and trusted his recommendations as they lived up to the hive one after another! I am so happy to have this option in the neighborhood.

    First time at the restaurant and happy with the experience. With a focus on Italian dishes, people should find plentiful options. Main dishes were all flavorful (chicken, veal, pasta) and appetizers looked appealing (ordered by others at the table). Dessert dish Tiramisu was especially good. Service was very good, almost too good as plates were being removed before everyone was finished. As with most restaurants, noise levels can make conversation difficult, but we were fine. Looking forward to another meal at Merlo's.
