220 Merrill

1. Delicious food and beautiful atmosphere. We were looking for something celebratory and not casual, but with fair prices. We had the calamari, salmon, made to perfection, with one of the best salads I’ve had, the Brussels sprouts salad, truffle fries (perfection!) and other dishes were the salmon mains. Delicious. Our only concern was the service. Rushed, abrupt, flustered, banging our cups and plates, not friendly, and not as smooth as or reflecting of the ambiance or the food.

2. Stopped in at 220 Merrill and like always it didn’t disappoint! Never ordered a Tomahawk here before. But after seeing one go out to the table next to us. We decide to give it a try and let me tell you, It was well worth it. I can highly recommend it if you’re in the mood. We paired this with some Brussels sprouts, crispy yukon golds, and zip sauce. All in all a great visit to one of my favorite restaurants and outdoor patios located in downtown Birmingham.

3. My friend and I went for brunch and we were not disappointed. We ordered an appetizer and we had to immediately send it back because it had a hair in it. Our food was delicious they did remake the appetizer and also removed it from our bill. The cocktail’s 🍸 I had were also amazing. I would come again.

4. 220 Merrill has consistently been my go-to spot for quality food and a great dining experience. They offer a solid variety of dishes, including some excellent halal options. Whether I’m bringing friends, family, or business clients, it’s always a pleasure to dine here.

   Some standout dishes I highly recommend include the Sweet & Spicy Calamari, NY Wagyu Bone-In Steak, Lamb Chops, Truffle Fries, and Brussels Sprouts. The flavors are always on point, and the quality is impeccable.

   However, there have been occasional disappointments with the service. Some waitstaff seem to lack enthusiasm and attentiveness, only taking orders and delivering the check with minimal interaction. This detracts from the otherwise enjoyable experience.

   On a positive note, Carolyn, one of the waitresses, has consistently impressed me. She explains the menu as if we’re new customers, maintains great energy, and checks in regularly. Her exceptional service always earns her a 20%+ tip.

   My suggestion to 220 Merrill’s management is to train all staff to match Carolyn’s level of service. It would elevate the overall dining experience and ensure that every visit is a pleasant one.

5. Food/drinks, service, and atmosphere were great.

   Our waiter gave amazing suggestions.

   The truffle fries were good!

   I had the salmon (blackened) with mashed potatoes. I would definitely recommend it.

   One of my friends had the short rib. It was tender and delicious!
   She went back the next day and got the burger, which she also enjoyed.

   I have to admit— the drinks are a bit pricey.

   Cute place!

   We had a great time.
