"I must review the experience last week. Have been dinning here since late 90s. Always had either a great experience or very good. So the food we all can agree is stellar, Chris Ward has been creating delicious, passionate cuisine for many years. On one occasion his behavior was deplorable arrogant rude P. O. S. With that said the dozens of other encounters have been pleasant and charming. Decor is dated and it's borderline de-classe. Now that's my opinion and I'm not knocking him or his decor. So we have a restaurant that delivers the best food . Menu has been edited from time to time. It almost hurts me to review Mercury because I absolutely live it. But the staff has been lack luster I was the host of a party of 8 and the amount of service errors are unacceptable. I won't mention the servers name, but this individual has a chip on his shoulder. Was sloppy, rude forgetful and his wine knowledge was basic. I mean really bad. Had no idea about spirits. A martini made with Bombay Sapphire was ordered and he asked what kind of vodka did I want. As I write this I'm getting annoyed because my Xanax is wearing off and my wife's wearing her lulu lemon yoga pants for the 3rd day and I am not in the mood for Mackerel..... Look it was a off night for the waiter , I get it. I still tipped him 30% because he's handsome and has a rocking body and doesn't smell like lulu lemon mackerel. Sorry Chris."

"We went here from a from referral. Its in a different location than you would think, its sort of tucked back near a residential community. The parking lot has a decent size and we went on a Friday night. It was not very packed. We made a reservation but we didn't need to. They also have a big deli /restaurant area on the other side that was closed when we go there. The 1s thing we noticed walking in was the front step was in much need of a repair and in the dark and in heels or dress shoes it was a concern. We were seated right away and the staff was awesome. Our server heather was very attentive and took time to explain all the menu options..best sellers and her personal favorites. We got a couple of drinks, we were told the wine selection was awesome but we don't drink wine. We had a peroni and lemon spritzer. We had to send the lemon spritzer back it was not drinkable. We got the gnocchi and the seasonal sweet corn ravioli. Both of these dishes were amazing. we also had the caprese salad which was very tasty also. They did bring us bead which I am not sure if it usually comes out cold but it was cold and did not add to the food experience. One thing that was a huge turn off with the meal was ...when our entree were presented we asked for more shredded cheese as the gnocchi had some but the ravioli did not. The server told us it would be extra...yes $3 dollars extra for a ramakin of shredded cheese on a $50 dollar per person meal. That is not equal quality if you ask us. The one detractor from this place is it has white glove prices but the decor was not that. The actual room decor and table settings did not meet that of the price and atmosphere they were going for. All and All we would for sure go back to try some other options as it was decent Italian option for MN. It for sure ranks in my 10 ten for this state."
