One of the oldest restaurants in Seattle. Beautiful inside and the food is good. Staff/service was excellent. We'll be going back.

This was a great place to go for food and drinks in Pioneer Square. My boyfriend and I went here before going to a comedy show at the Comedy Underground just a block over. I can definitely see us coming back here again - for the area, the beer was relatively cheap! ($4 a pint) We sat at the bar and they were having problems with the cash register - the bartender was obviously frustrated, and yet still managed to pay attention to the customers at the bar while trying to fix the problem - kudos!

We chose the Merchant Cafe to celebrate my friend's birthday lunch because she wanted to go to Pioneer Square to experience the nostalgia of old Seattle. It was the perfect spot! The owner was our server and she treated us like royalty. She made recommendations for our meal that were right on target. The cheese curd appetizers were out of this world. The grilled cheese sandwich was also amazing, she added tomato and basil using her Mom's old recipe, it was fantastic! She even brought my friend a free tee shirt as a birthday gift. Oh, and the Mojitos! She made the best I've ever had. Ask her to share her secret recipe, she will! Ask about Otto, the spirit that inhabits the Merchant. Apparently he has a temper, and a sense of humor.
