Mercury Chophouse 525 Taylor Street, Fort Worth, TX 76102

"My visit to Mercury Chophouse was a delightful experience that I would rate as four stars. The ambience of the restaurant was elegant and sophisticated, creating a perfect setting for a special dining occasion. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. The menu at Mercury Chophouse offered a diverse selection of dishes, and the food was well-prepared and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the quality of the steaks and the flavorful sides that accompanied them. The presentation of the dishes was also impressive, adding to the dining experience. While I had a great time at Mercury Chophouse and would recommend it to others, I believe there is room for improvement in terms of management should let their servers interact and share their knowledge of food and wines. Some really do enjoy the knowledge of what they’re drinking and eating. Overall, it was a memorable dining experience that I would happily revisit in the future."

"Our decision to dine at Mercury Chophouse was based on several positive reviews, but unfortunately, our experience fell far short of expectations. We were in the mood for a dining experience and spontaneously chose to visit this downtown Fort Worth establishment on a Friday evening. Right from the moment we walked in, we had reservations. The hostess appeared engrossed in her cell phone, and it was the bartender who eventually seated us. The fact that the restaurant was quite empty for a Friday night raised some concerns as well. We began with a round of drinks, and while my husband's choice was satisfactory, my espresso martini was a complete letdown. I knew from the description that espresso was not an ingredient but this seemed like a haphazard mix of various liquors that didn't blend well. When another staff member came to check on us, I asked for a replacement drink, which was kindly accommodated. However, a cocktail that had pumpkin and Russian in the name (cannot find it on their online drink menu) didn't leave a lasting impression either. I couldn't help but wonder if the bartender was having an off night or simply wasn't well-versed in mixology. It was becoming clear that something was amiss. Turning our attention to the salads, we ordered a wedge-style salad (not listed on the website menu) for my husband and a Caesar salad for myself. While my husband found his salad passable, my Caesar salad was a disappointment. The inclusion of tomatoes in a Caesar salad was a first for me, and the dressing was far too mayonnaise-heavy. The menu claimed the croutons were house-made, but they didn't live up to that promise. Given the price point, which totaled $70 for two drinks and two salads, we expected the quality of our dining experience to match. Instead, it felt more like a diner experience than a chophouse restaurant in downtown Fort Worth. I was left perplexed by the numerous positive reviews I had encountered earlier. While the staff was friendly and accommodating, the subpar food and lackluster drinks were a letdown. I would advise others to skip Mercury Chophouse and explore other dining options in the area. Your wallet and taste buds will thank you."

"Wonderful experience here. Wonderful service, great food and nice and cozy atmosphere. Being entertained by a musician who not only played piano, but saxophone to was a plus. Will definitely go back."

"Absolutely incredible service! My wife and I took our friends out to celebrate a recent wedding and two birthdays. The experience was everything you could ask for from a high-end restaurant. The general manager was professional and kind, the waiters were attentive, and the food was prepared to perfection. At the end of the night the owner of the restaurant came down and introduced himself to the group and we got to talk for just a bit. Later that night my wife said it was like we were treated like royalty and I agree. This restaurant has heart and it goes far beyond five stars. We will definitely be back"

"Our first visit to Mercury Chophouse in Ft Worth was on Valentine's. The restaurant was busy but the wait staff did not miss a step. The food & service were excellent. Save room for dessert!! The only thing they could have improved on was the music, it would have been nice to have someone at the piano on such a romantic evening."
