Review & Rating
Wasn’t crowded while we were there (no idea why, it was great!). Music wasn’t too loud, plenty of seating. We had: crispy artichokes, salmon and salsa verde, sobrassada mac n’ cheese, tortilla espanola, and hanger steak, as well as several cocktails. All tasty and perfect portion sizes to share with my brother. Steak moist and juicy. Spiced just right. Flavor explosion. I don’t even like artichoke and I liked this artichoke dish. Extensive wine list as well.
I went for brunch and really enjoyed everything. The service was very good and the food was also wonderful. We had the avocado toast, shrimp and grits and chicken & churros (pictured below). Everything was delicious. The bottomless mimosas were excellent also. They kept the refills flowing without prompting and we appreciated that. I’ll definitely be back.
My boyfriend and I went to Bar Mercado for his birthday and we sat on the patio! Our server, Jen, was amazing and knowledgeable. The food is fabulous. I’ll have dreams about the potatoes for the foreseeable future and the chef’s special (trout, turnips, peas, chorizo sauce?) was a true out of body experience. Thank you!
Francisco is a charming waiter. Very knowledgeable about wines and vegan options. Kind. Friendly service. Allowed my dog on the patio. I will be back.
Went for my birthday brunch and absolutely loved it! All the food was excellent, with the highlights being the artichokes and the cheese board. Management came over just to wish me happy birthday and everyone at the table got a champagne golden shower from this weird little bong thing, which was an absolute hoot. From food to service to atmosphere, the whole experience was 5 stars. Will definitely be back for more any time I’m in the area.
The Catellucci's do hospitality right! They're welcoming, sincere and knowledgeable.
Cool vibes at this little treasure. When you walk in you are instantly greeted with no wait. At least that was the case on this particular Friday night. The Menu looked unique, minimal and as if the servings were small plate portions. We we greeted within a few minutes and our drink orders taken. It took up to 10 minutes to get our drinks to us, which made for a slower paced visit. We were ready for round two, but we had been waiting for another restaurant to buzz us for dinner. Overall, cute place, slower paced service. I recommend if you come here expect less urgency.
YUMMY! Have been wanting to review this spot but just forgot! VERY good food! Got the Mushroom apprtizer, Lamb and Duck. Made me do my happy dance. Went after work one day. The Host was amazing and waitress, forgot her name, was an awesome young lady! Cute spot! Great for Groups, Girls Night Out or just going after work on your own. GO! You won't be disappointed!☺️
Bottomless mimosa or sangria brunch deal was fantastic! Made for a really great morning. The food was tasty but portions were very small. I left slightly hungry, but definitely not thirsty! The service was top notch as well.
The meat dishes looked thoughtful and well prepared. Prices are borderline OK for tapas. The atmosphere was nice and drinks were great. But their treatment of vegetables had me scratching my head a bit. There weren't many options for just vegetable tapas. Tapas are all about exciting, delicious variety. Lots of meat and seafood but little in the way of anything else. I would have loved to see more shareable plants and cheeses to keep my palate enticed. If meat heavy and no breaks is your style of tapas, go for it. You'll likely love it. Just not my cup of tea.
