Merchants is owned and operated by locals Chef TK and Emily Peterson, and they invite guests to come as they are. This isn't a dress code, it's our philosophy for all we do. We are here to take care. For us, it starts with the menu – we work with our neighbors to bring the best of what's available locally to the table, showcase the specialties of our region and host guests for a great meal.

Our menu is full of familiar dishes, reimagined through our lens of seasonal + local + flexible + fun. The bar program is anchored by 30 craft beers on draft, offered up along side hand-crafted cocktails and approachable wine. Come join us!

One of the best sellers is their brussels sprouts - with dried apricots, garlic chili mustard and cashews.

I got a trio of wine samples - for just $15, when one of them would be $15 a glass on its own. Mine included "Teutonic Jazz Odyssey Field Blend" which is a gurwurtztraminer & riesling with caramelized green apple and refreshing acid flavors.

My second was the Cavicchioli 1928 Prosecco - spumante. extra dry, aromas of candied fruits, sweet flowers, lively & delicate.

And my third was Neverland Cabernet - a true California cab, layered with notes of black currant, blueberry, and smoked cedar planks.

How cute!

For my main dish, I went with a "short rib gnocchi." Gaaah.
