    The service was the perfect balance of not too much and not too little. It's a lovely restaurant with a great menu. Our mussels were a little fishy, but we cleaned our plates with everything else.

    My husband and I went to Merton’s Prime for Christmas dinner. They had a special menu - there were several choices for main dishes, appetizers, side, dishes, and desserts. There’s an extensive wine and drink menu. We were seated immediately, and our waitress was top-notch. The food was delicious and we had a lovely, relaxing dinner. We weren’t rushed and enjoyed every minute of our experience.
