About La Mercerie
La Mercerie serves modern French food from inside The Guild, a furniture and design store on Howard Street, where home goods and tableware are on display for purchase alongside the dining room. Seating spans a counter and regular tables, with additional seats available outdoors. The menu runs across breakfast, lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, with the Boeuf Bourguignon on offer alongside Profiteroles Au Chocolat among thirteen dishes. Reservations are recommended, and a private dining room is available for groups. A step-free entrance serves visitors with mobility needs, high chairs suit families with young children, and dogs are welcome in the space. Delivery is offered for those eating off site. The restroom sits on the ground floor, reached by a short flight of steps at the back of the building.

Customer Review Summary
Boeuf bourguignon draws the most consistent praise, reviewers describing the meat as tender and pulled apart wonderfully with a deep, rich sauce cooked for hours. Close behind, the French onion soup earns repeated mentions as rich and deeply caramelized, and the crepe complète (or "La Complete") comes up again and again as a comforting favorite, along with the niçoise salad one diner called the best in NYC. The chocolate chip cookie splits opinion sharply: several call it a stellar, gooey highlight sometimes delivered free for a birthday, while one reviewer found it horribly dry. Desserts overall get a mixed note too, with one diner reporting the flan and fruit tart were served room temperature instead of chilled. Service ranges from attentive and professional to genuinely slow, with one reviewer detailing a flat Aperol Spritz, a long wait, reheated-tasting potatoes, and a vow not to return; others note wobbly tables, out-of-order dishes, or "courtesy" items still appearing on the bill. Multiple reviewers mention long or unexpected waits despite reservations, though several describe staff offsetting this with complimentary croissants, crepes, or champagne.

“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 …”

“Absolutely Fabulous!!! Carlos & Ronnie tag teamed a party of 7 with lots of personality perfectly! Food was to die for and eating outside made our very special celebratory lunch the best time in our Manhattan visit!! Best service in the city!!!”
- Shawn McCall
“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.”
