Customer Review Summary

La Mercerie draws consistent praise for its striking interior, with multiple reviewers describing the space as beautiful, elegant, and transporting, set inside a furniture and design store where many of the pieces are available for purchase. The Boeuf Bourguignon comes up repeatedly as a standout, with one diner noting the beef was soft and pulled apart wonderfully, while the almond croissant, crème brûlée, and chocolate chip cookie are singled out as highlights from brunch and dessert. Service is frequently described as warm, attentive, and professional, with several reviewers noting staff were accommodating and informative without being stuffy. A few trade-offs surface: one reviewer found the crispy chicken portion rather small for the high price, another felt the food was not salty enough for their palate, and a Christmas visit involved an extremely long wait time. One group reported severe illness after their meal, describing Staphylococcal Food Poisoning that required hospital visits. Several suggest making reservations and arriving on time, noting the restaurant strictly adheres to its seating schedule.

    La Mercerie is always a 10/10. I’ve been here several times for brunch, dinner, etc, and every experience has been amazing. The food is always delicious, the atmosphere is beautiful, and the staff are consistently warm, attentive, and welcoming. One of my favorite spots in NYC!

    I only bought the chocolate chip cookie ($8 without tax) to go. It’s absolutely worth it. One of the best cookies I’ve had. Crispy on the edges and soft with a drop of caramel inside. Love the extra flaky salt on top. …

    4 of us went this Sunday night, receipt and pics all available. All of us started throwing up early Sunday morning. We all had to go to the hospital. It’s been determined that we have Staphylococcal Food Poisoning. This is the only thing …

    First time dining here, went for brunch the Saturday before Mother’s Day. Love the vibe, upscale yet still casual and comfortable. Service was impeccable from start to finish. The almond croissant is possibly the best I’ve ever eaten. Antonio, Zeinabou and the rest of the staff were attentive, informative and super professional without being stuffy at all. Great little spot and the food was fantastic. Would absolutely visit again.
