My friend invited me to have dinner with him after going to an exhibit at the FIT museum. We sat outside and enjoyed a delicious meal at Merchants.
American fare, the menu essentially featured elevated pub dishes. We ordered the cheesy truffle potato wedges (although I didn't taste any truffle flavor. Maybe it was in the bacon aioli? I don't eat pork so I requested a Sriracha aioli instead.), avocado fries and carne asada tacos.
For dessert we ordered the sour cream apple walnut pie which comes from the Little Pie company. If you've never had this before, don't walk, run and try it.
To wash everything down, we ordered two cocktails: spiked lemonade and the southern bourbon peach tea. Although the spiked lemonade was good, I found the southern bourbon peach tea to be bitter. It was basically unsweetened peach iced tea with bourbon. I enjoy bourbon. However this was not my idea of a tasty cocktail.
Overall the food was high quality and the service was good.
