Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Mercer Kitchen in Soho Will Close at the End of the Year - Eater NY

"Renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s acclaimed Soho restaurant Mercer Kitchen is closing at the end of this year, the chef confirms. Located in the Christian Liaigre-designed Soho hotel, Mercer Kitchen has been in operation since 1998. The lower-level space complemented the Mercer Hotel’s reputation as a low-key celebrity magnet for decades, with wood-fired pizzas, tuna tartare, and warm slabs of chocolate cake served in a chic, brick-walled room." - Melissa McCart

This was a great restaurant and I really appreciated the food much more than the atmosphere. It's a large restaurant but people are seated so close together that it felt cramped. That said the food was really good. We started off with an appetizer of artichoke cooked perfectly the sauce that accompanied it was absolutely delicious. I went with somebody who is vegetarian and they ordered sides and absolutely love them. I on the other hand ordered chicken fettuccine and mushroom and it was probably the best I've ever had. it was priced on the high side but worth the money. it's best to have reservations to be able to get in there was a bit of a wait. they also have a well-stocked bar and I saw open seats there so whether you're waiting to sit down or just to go in and have a drink it looked very nice.

An incredible restaurant. They have a nice seating area and very fun and casual vibes. E went there for brunch and the ambiance, service and food was all perfect! Highly recommend the truffle pizza which we got as appetizers. I had the omelette and while it wasn’t anything special, it was well made. My friends got the burger and chicken sandwich. They said the chicken sandwich was meh, so give it a pass. I stole their fries and they were the best tasting fries I’ve had at any restaurant. In terms of drinks, the bellini is a nice light drink. I got the white Negroni (it’s expensive but is a serving for two people ) which was really really well made. All the desserts were out of the world. We tried the passion fruit meringue tart, chocolate cake, and My favorite was the toffee pudding. Highly recommend.

The atmosphere is nice and inviting, clean. I guess they dont get too many 1 top walk in's for lunch because the 1 host pretended I didnt exist and continued his conversation at the bar while a manager acknowledged me and sat me.... Service was polite and promt.... however they didnt have a printed bourbon list so I just went off the 2 or 3 she could remember...... The bread with the oil is kinda played out... especially when the bread isnt warm and thus the thick crusted sourdough isnt enjoyable ..... and the oil was bland nothing fancy or amazing.... Warm shimp salad was amazing. Great flavors and textures and portion was generous.... 10/10 would suggest this dish The chicken sandwich with the crispy onions and Avocado was very pleasant and substantial very tasty sandwich but needed a little kick/seasoning it was lacking any umph but still tasty 8.5/10. Check was ridiculously expensive but I tipped well because I know this place has been going through some changes & the lovley waitress did her best.

I loved this place. My boyfriend brought me here on a nice date and it was the perfect spot. The food was so delicious and decentish price, not great but not bad. I loved the atmosphere and our server was great. I wish the music was not so loud though, it's a pain Can't emphasize how great the food was. I loved the flavours

What I liked the most here was the fish. I had a steamed fish entree that was excellent. Fresh and healthy and tasted incredible. Don’t miss having something sweet after the meal. It’s worth it. Reservations are helpful for dinner time in mid or late week.

Came here for dinner and the food was delicious! We got the carpaccio (9/10), the hummus (7.5/10) and the chicken (8.5/10) and shared that between two medium hungry people. The chicken was pretty big, so I ended up taking some home. I also liked the vibe in this place. It’s classy without being pretentious. We sat at the bar and made friends with the bartender and he was so sweet and kept coming back to chat with us and give us recommendations. I also love the espresso martini they made me that said “welcome to New York”. They could also do the writing for someone’s birthday, which I thought was so fun! I am actually going back there for my birthday, because the place looked well suited for bigger groups too.

Celebrated my friend’s bday in The Mercer Kitchen. Food was amazing as usual. My friends were sharing their food so they split the dishes already which was sp thoughtful and cute . Every we order was great. There are vegetarian and vegan option and they’re very mindful of allergies and dietary restrictions which I really appreciate. I go the salmon and friends took the sea bass loved it. Our waitress Luba gave an outstanding service and she made sure we an amazing night. The only downside was that they seated us upstairs (indoors) so we missed the entire vibe of this restaurant. Since I dined there in the past I can say it much nicer downstairs so make sure to specify it when you make the reservation.

3 stars because Food was delicious yet service and details were not the best, we had to wait 30 minutes for main course after we finished the appetizers , and yet no apology was given, but before that the table we were was small bistro very wobbly and I spilled all over the table some of the Cucumber Martini cocktail asked the server to help us clean the small table and he grabbed the napkin of the table next to us which were made of synthetic fabric, there fore not very absorbent and left the table humid and sticky due to the sugar in the cocktail, hubby went to the restroom and they did not have hand towels said was messy Small big details one does not expect on a place like this and it’s prices. My husband requested to speak with the manager gave her the feedback and she nicely apologies for the inconvenience.
