Have been there many times, the food was always good and the staff friendly. Always end the dinner with a cup of Merchant House coffee. I have always taken friends there and they always want to go back.

My wife had a baby shower lunch at this restaurant. Everyone love the place, the food and the service. People were friendly and helpful . The restaurant was decorated for the holidays which just added to the atmosphere . I live an hour away but will go back to try it .

After shopping, my Mum, Laura and I went to the Tavern with fairly high expectations: it looked quite good, and it had been recommended to us. We were led into the main dining area, and sat a table in the back. After we sat down and began looking at the menu, I realized that 80s rock and roll was playing... More

The Merchant House in Fairfield, N.J. is all about atmosphere. High backed leather boothes, fireplace, wine cellar, dimly lit bar area, etc. etc. Love it! The wine menu is extensive and offers something in every price range and rating. If there is a wait for a table I suggest getting a fig martini at the bar. I bet you can't... More

Make sure you try this location. You will not be disappointed. They will gladly make you a custom meal if you desire and the home made sangria is phenomenal. Also try the butterfly chicken breast.

A large party from work had a planned dinner at Merchant House. I had never been there before and we sat in a very nice private room, as there were about 40 of us. Our meeting planner had set up this dinner, so we were to order from a pre-planned menu of three entrees. I ordered the filet, but there... More
