It's a really nice place with great vibes for dates. Good wine, good food, flavorful dishes -- the mashed potatoes are really delicious, and the steak is also excellent. The service is okay, not amazing, but the atmosphere is great for everyone. read more

Revised review: Good news: the steaks are still great. Bad news: the service seems to have taken a turn for the worse. Also, I recommend that you don't order the calamari. IF we go there again, it's steak and potatoes for me. read more

We dined at Mercury Chop House for DFW restaurant week with some friends recently. The food was excellent! From beginning to end, all enjoyed their dishes. The service and ambiance is what takes my review down a star. Our server, Mike was MIA for a long time. We never got our second round of drinks. The floor was covered in dirt and crumbs. The bathroom needs help as well. All of those things can be fixed. :) read more

I met a friend at Mercury Chophouse last Wednesday night. We had planned to go to Arlington but since he was staying at Le Méridien, Fort Worth made more sense. I arrived before my friend, the drink and the bartender were phenomenal. Wish I could say the same for the kitchen. I will say this, we were the last diners on a Wednesday night. But here's a rundown on the meal. An ordinary Ceaser salad with bottled dressing was edible. The hot bread and butter were the high points of the evening. Everything after that was downhill. I ordered Penne Arrabiato and it was tasteless, with shrimp like hard little pellets. But hey it's neither an Italian or a seafood restaurant. The steak was abysmal. It was a sickly gray with what looked like drawn on grill marks and zero taste. I have had better steaks at Golden Corral. The sides were not much better. Would I recommend this restaurant? Nope not for dinner. If you want good drinks, stop in on your way to a real restaurant. read more

If you have over two hours, enjoy overpriced, cold food, and don't mind poor service this might be the place for you. Meal started great with cocktails and appetizers. About one hour in we finally got to order food. Food finally arrived very cold and overdone after another 45 minutes. The staff did not seem bothered at all that we had a bad experience. After another 20 minutes manager finally adjusted our bill. One of the very few times I've gone to a nice restaurant and not left any tip whatsoever. There are lots of choices in Fort Worth. read more

I recently went to this restaurant with my leadership team from work and I really enjoyed my meal. This restaurant was unique, It was really dark inside and the menus were huge for how reason. I got a good laugh out of it with my team. We had calamari as a starter and it was not good, it was a bit too chewy for my liking. I ordered the salmon entree with mashed potatoes and cream spinach. I absolutely loved it! It was cooked perfect and tasted delicious to me. My coworkers ordered the braised short rib and did not enjoy it. They said they were cooked too long and the food was bland. The drinks were just ok, I ordered an espresso martini and it was not bad but I would recommend ordering something that you normally get that's not on their cocktail drink menu. Overall, I would say that this restaurant is good for a couples dinner date but I would choose another place if coming with a larger party. read more

Gross. Don't recommend. Smells like old people. Staff was nice. Food was way way way not worth the price

Alright so lets talk about it-- So I took my wife here for her birthday after another restaurant in the area at last minute canceled our 7pm reservation and unexpectedly closed for the night. When I first walked in to Mercury Chop house, I was a little concerned by how empty it was at 7pm on a Friday night, that being said, overall we walked out very pleased. Now, this very well may just be a situation of low expectations being pleasantly surpassed but at the end of the day I think this place has a ton of potential. Okay so here is everything we ordered: -Calamari -Caesar Salad -Wedge Salad -Braised Short ribs -Lamb Shank -Cream Spinach side -Mushroom side - & 4 cocktails Totaling: $225 before tip Overall, we very much enjoyed the salads and thought the entrees were well prepared. Would have liked to see more hot appetizers options, the calamari was slightly overcooked and chewy and instead of being served with marinara or dipping sauce, it was served with a tomato risotto that was not very good. Also, they served fresh bread that was very good but we were not served this until we received our salads. In my opinion this would have been much better served after we ordered our initial cocktails and we're waiting on our appetizer I would give this place a try, just go in with an open mind. This place has a ton of potential and could easily be a great restaurant! read more

Highly disappointing. It smells weird inside the restaurant and the food tasted like frozen catering. Not worth the price or your time.

Food and Service were incredible and what a view. First, the ambiance was fantastic, the view was incredible, with live music (singer was great), hostess/greater was incredibly nice. I can't say enough good things about this place. The service was impeccable and my server (Ricardo) was fantastic. He upsold every darn thing he could on the menu and I was glad I listened. The chefs were firing on all cylinders for sure. All his recommendation: The maple old fashion (8 out of 10), the Cesar Salad (8/10), the Sea Bass-imperial style (10 out of 10), and the Creme brûlée (10/10). The only thing I picked was my wine which he okayed after I ordered it, haha. It paired beautifully with the dish. I showed up wanting a steak with some mushrooms. Nothing crazy but that is what I went in there in mind to order. After Ricardo mentioned the Sea Bass and how it is served the Imperial way (with Crab meat and shrimp), I went back and forth with that and the steak for a bit. But I am very glad I went with the sea bass. WOW, the buttery lemon sauce that came with it, the risotto, the asparagus. This is truly a sleeper meal at this steak house. I am typically not one to get anything at a steak house other than a steak but he spoke so highly of it I had to give it a try. The only issue is, if I go back to Mercury I don't know if I would get a steak or stick with this. The Cesar Salad was good, fresh parmesan on top light dressing, house made croutons. A nice easy well done salad. Fish was buttery, fell apart perfectly and melted in your mouth with a slight crisp on the outside, the crab meat was a beautiful combo and paired excellent. The shrimp were explosive with flavor, don't know of a better way to say that, just delicious. The Crème brulee, was delicious. The right amount of sweetness in the crust paired with the warmth and the coolness of the custard, it was a great way to end the meal. Even though I was stuffed, Ricardo insisted I try it and I ate the whole damn thing. Easily one of the best meal's I've had in a very long time. So good I had to write a review and I haven't done this in a very long time. The Restaurant General Manager on duty this evening was Kevin, and I asked to speak with him due to the fact I just really enjoyed the whole experience. He was lovely and we spent a few minutes discussing the meal and experience and led into a bit of small talk, he was great. He has done a great job with his team and the place as a whole. Very Very well done! I will be absolutely sure to be back next time I am in Dallas. BRAVO Mercury Chophouse. -Solo Customer, Eric read more

Stopped in for dinner with a long time friend to catch up on all the lost time. Very nice atmosphere and we were greeted immediately upon walking through the doors. We were greeted again at our table by the bartender for a drink order and soon after fresh warm bread and butter was served. Our server Mike came not long after and went over the evening specials with us. He had a huge smile and was very attentive the entire evening. Even after we sat for a few hours after paying the bill. I decided on the Chilean sea bass which came accompanied with cheddar risotto and asparagus. The fish was light and flaky and very enjoyable. My friend enjoy the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and a veggie. I definitely wanted dessert and enjoyed the apple cobbler. It had a warm caramel sauce drizzled all over it and the walnuts were plentiful. The crust wasn't as flaky as I like but still had great flavor. I will definitely stop back in for date night as they had live music which filled the space beautifully all evening. read more

I'm sorry but I just wasn't super impressed with this place. It was good, don't get me wrong but I do a lot of fine dining and it was just middle of the road good. Definitely not 50$ steak good. The mac and cheese was bland. The braised mushrooms were delicious but the steak was just okay. Excellent service and cool vibe but for the price I felt like the food could've been much better. read more

Mercury Chop House - 8 oz. Filet Mignon - Steakhouses Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

Food was horrible and extremely overpriced for what we were served. We got the Moroccan cigars that were taco meat in a spring roll shell. Extreme disappointment but was excited for the main course. Was again disappointed as my boyfriend said he could get better steak at outback and my "special" was overdone shrimp and scallops drowned in Cajun seasoning with essentially butter noodles. I love seafood and pasta so I was so sad when I was literally just eating Cajun spices on rubber meat. We were there on a holiday so I will not hit to hard on the service as I know that contributed but the person who seemed like the manager said he would keep and eye on us which he did, but he never came to us, he just stared as we had no water and never got bread we asked for twice (my understanding is it comes automatically after service). Overall was a horrible experience especially for our first anniversary we got to actually see each other. read more

The host was very pleasant. I was dining alone and decided to take a seat at the bar top SN; This place is apparently located below a high rise. The crowd seemed VERY familiar with one another making it it awkward at times. The service just ok... In my honest opinion the experience was a little disappointing. Although, the food was beautifully plated it was merely flavorless not to mention the asparagus was what I considered to be soggy *which I did send back after being asked by the host's my thoughts on the dish and noticing how I moved them* SN: just so you know I'm not making this up the.... Whoever Mark and Chelsea sitting out on the patio throwing back free drinks are you might want to slow down so your paying customers can have a more enjoyable experience in the future. One for the perfectly crafted cocktail! One for the mushroom ricotta/host's hospitality read more

Mercury Chop House - Fish, asparagus and the star of the show mushroom ricotta! - Steakhouses Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

We ordered fillet mignon and lamb shank. The steak came out good just the way I asked medium not bloody and it tasted good but the shank was Horrible! I am a cook my self and when I came to places such as steak houses I am looking forward to get amazed. The lamb shank was cold, really dry and tasteless! So was the mash potatoes Honestly, I make lamb shank all the time in my instapot and it's really hard to mess it up. I'm not a fan of Adding salt and pepper to my food the Chef should have done it I suspected they cooked the shanks in a batch and then freeze it for later that's what it tasted like to me. I am paying $42 for this and that's what we get ?! I want to like this place but sorry read more

Elegant enough looking and high enough priced to be in the running for steakhouse choices in downtown Fort Worth. The trouble is the attitude and quality of service was terrible. Beyond slow, several messed up orders in our party, and a general rudeness. We were three couples sitting together and asked in advance if our checks could be separate and we would order as couples to keep it simple. The server gave a frown of disgust and then said, "I can do it, but it will mean 10 minutes more of my time for each of the checks so just might not make your seats at the theatre." Mind you, we were there at 5:00 for a 7:30 show a 5-minute walk away. We said we understood and she was true to her word, delivering all three checks together and then picking them up each 10 minutes apart, filling her time between simply talking to other servers. The drinks were overpriced for the quality. A standout bad item ordered was a terrible beet salad (where's the beet, would be appropriate. For my personal meal, I had the black pepper crusted tuna mignon. That is what I ordered, but a filet mignon was delivered. I pointed that out and she argued with me. Everyone at the table said they heard me say tuna clearly and she said something under her breath and walked away taking the steak with her. She eventually brought the tuna which was so pepper covered and crusted you could not taste the tuna at all. Of course, when the bill came it was for the filet mignon and a charge for the asparagus that was supposed to come with the tuna. I pointed that out and she redid it changing to the tuna on the bill but still charging for the asparagus. A third bill required. Several others in our group had a fish special that they said was not good at all, and the couple of steaks were overdone. Then, to top it all off, a 20% gratuity was added automatically to each check for rude, slow and mismanaged service and less than average food. read more

My boyfriend and I had a great meal here for our date night. We started with the Moroccan cigars which were good but might have been a tad too heavy given the rest of the meal. We shared the 10oz steak that was cooked to perfection, medium rare plus. It came with mashed potatoes and we also ordered the potatoes au gratin, which I highly recommend. To top it off, we shared a piece of cheesecake. No regrets! They also have a nice wine list by the glass or bottle. The service was top notch and they also had live entertainment with a piano player. Overall it was a wonderful evening and we will be back! read more

Meh. Instant bad vibe when we walked into the restaurant. It was hot. Not sure if the air conditioning was broken or not. It was clear they were short-staffed. After the long wait, we felt the need to order appetizers and meal at the same time. My husband's steak was mediocre at best. The Brussels sprouts we ordered were burnt. I had sea scallops with mushroom risotto and the cream sauce was overwhelming. We quickly requested the check and left. The entire experience was disappointing. read more

I made a reservation to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. I told the host my name and that I made a reservation. Since it was slow, they didn't bother checking why we were coming or check my name off a list. They just kinda let us pick where we wanted to sit. Inside is small but intimate. Very clean and sophisticated look. One side has live music, we chose to sit away from the music on the opposite side of the bar. Our server was attentive. She was quiet, calm, and nice. She told us the specials and made recommendations. We both ordered, a wine, starter salad, and then our entrees. He had a steak and I got a filet mignon. The meats were delicious but I wasn't a fan of the potatoes. I ordered an extra side of Mac and cheese. Their macaroni was very yummy! The experience was great. Would come back for dinner but not a celebration. read more

Private Party in the basement. Extra cute venue. Everything was delicious! Caesar salad, filet mignon, and strawberry shortcake! My husband enjoyed his chopped salad, chicken cordon bleu, and chocolate mousse! Highly recommend! read more

Great restaurant for a date night. The ambience was exactly what I was looking for. Low lighting, live music but not too loud. The music was actually perfect--the songs the musician and the instruments were perfect! I really liked the mashed potatoes and short ribs. The breading on the pecan chicken kept falling off, which was kind of annoying. The macaroni was pretty good, it tasted rich and thick and creamy. The drink was not that good and too expensive to "test" out more. Overall, it was a great dining experience. read more

I want to preface this review with this...I have been to this restaurant several times in the past for birthdays, anniversaries, etc... and have always enjoyed the food and the service from Michael (who always seems to be our waiter). But, last night was not a good experience. Upon entering the restaurant, there was a bad, sulfur type smell. The hostess did not greet us, nor was she particularly friendly. We had a 6:30 reservation and we were seated at a table near the bar, not ideal, but not a deal breaker. Anyways, my husband and two adult children were treating me to a nice dinner for Mother's Day since I work on Sundays. We sat at the table for a good ten minutes before anyone approached with menus or to see if we wanted to look at the wine menu. I ordered a drink, but my family stuck with water and the woman seemed visibly disappointed by this fact. The drink was brought and there was a chip in the lip of the glass. A replacement was brought, but not menus. Meanwhile, Michael seemed to be waiting on every other table in the restaurant, but not us. Eventually, the bartender approached and we ordered our food. Bread was brought and our water glasses were refilled promptly. So kudos, to that woman. Food arrived. We had to request knives to cut (Filet Mignon and Lamb shank). My plate was missing asparagus, but it was impossible to flag anyone down, so I just let it go. No one got our plates when we were finished. Or another drink. Eventually, Michael came over and got our dessert order and he was very kind. Said they were down two staff members. The manager/owner was seated at the bar and he didn't lift a finger to assist anyone. The only time he directed anyone to our table was when the credit card was out and we didn't have our bill. I usually really like this place, but last night left a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Went to Mercury Chophouse Downtown Fort Worth, 525 Taylor Street for a surprise Thanksgiving (2024) dinner, 4pm. It was the worst experience and meal ever! We walked in an were not immediately greeted. The owner was sitting at the bar, politely arose from his seat to sit us at table. The restaurant was empty. A server eventually came over to the table to bring us menus, but never came back until the owner told her to get over to the table. She did come over to get drinks sweet tea and wine. when I got a tea refill, I told her the tea was not, she wanted to argue and said it was, but it wasn't. Not ok. Another server came over to tell us the specials and take our order. Now for the food part and a $200.00 bill! The Filet Mignon was under cooked, bleeding on the plate. It was supposed to be medium well, it was medium rare and tough and chewy! I tried to eat it and to attempt to have an enjoyable meal without sending the steak back, i just couldn't. Steak was sent back, butterflied and burnt. They did not charge for the undercooked, then burnt steak. We also got the Salmon and scallops. The scallops we chewy and gummy. When this was explained to the owner, he said jokingly "I will fire the chef", no apology! He just whisked the steak away. So much for a Thanksgiving Surprise. I was surprised alright. read more

Kinda of a mixed review here. Loved the locals vibe but maybe it was at the expense of a one off visitor. Food, pricing and service was solid. Wait staff Trina was spot on and clearly a pro at her craft. She was 5 Star. Owner was kind and friendly, but yet had a sense attention was on the regulars and not "the others". That being said filet, Brussels and salad were awesome. I would return and I guess that would make me a regular..so yes! See you again soon read more

Went here with friends on a fri night. Parking was easy next door at the tower garage which is free on weekends. The ambiance inside was what you would expect at an old steakhouse. Bar seats looked very comfortable. I ordered the escargot which was ok. The mozzarella salad did not have basil leaves but a paste. Good but unusual. The New York steak with blue cheese was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes were fantastic. We got a side of mac and Cheese and it was ok. Not cheesy enough for me. Everything was paired with a bottle of Jutin cab. For dessert it was lava cake. A great way to end the meal. My friends liked this place better than Eddie Vs. I would have put it right behind. Cannot wait to go back. The menu has so many good options. read more

I did not have a steak so maybe it's my fault! I had sea scallops. If you LOVE salt order them. BTW, mine were suppose to be blackened. Appetizer sucked. Calamari ... very tough & chewy. The butter had a ton of salt on it. Added! I am known for seasoning my food a lot & even I thought it was crazy with the salt. My husband loved his sea bass so they get two stars. The only thing I enjoyed was my martini & the bread. Service was average to below average. Had to work to get their attention for simple stuff. read more

I went here for my boyfriends work dinner! His boss Kindly paid for us all! We came on a Wednesday night at 6:30pm. Parking is actually not that bad, you can try to find a parking space on the side surrounding the restaurants (parallel parking) or park in the near by garage for free during certain hours. The inside is actually small, but they make it work. The inside is sophisticated, they have a nice bar and sometimes a pianist is there playing their beautiful piano for anyone. We sat at pretty big table of about 15. The waiters were attentive and made sure our water and wine was always full!! We ordered the meat egg roll and calamari for appetizers and that was pretty good! Generous amount of meat in the egg roll, and the calamari was tender and not too chewy. My boyfriend ordered the filet mignon which he said was delicious but Eddie vs steak was better. I had the LOBSTER & it was a good size and was so juicy!! It came with delicious seasoned steam vegetables and a creamy potato purée. The sides, the Brussels sprouts, omg! It was in some kind of sauce and it was delicious!!! His Co worker had the jalapeño grits and said it was AMAZING! We also enjoyed our dessert, the strawberry shortcake was huge! And not to sweet. The banana bread pudding was more bread and so we didn't really like that. Overall I can't wait to be back! Great service and delicious food, fair price' read more

Don't get me wrong...the food and atmosphere were great. However, I can't get past what happened with the service. Let's start with the host that we stood in front of for an extended period of time without any recognition as he was distracted by his cell phone! I already expected more from an upscale restaurant that was carefully chosen to celebrate my birthday! What followed this intro has baffled us for days in which I am still trying to put into words. Our waiter displayed the upmost representation of this restaurant...until he never even hesitated to ask if we would like anything else to drink besides from the drink menu. By the time my boyfriend started to look over his shoulder and ask the waiter for sweet tea - he was already gone. That's right, he didn't even address us from the side of the table. Just reached around to remove the drink menu as we had decided on something else. So we sat there with water...our entire dinner. Never was anything offered again. OH BUT WAIT -- IT GETS BETTER!! But not really...So we exchange polite conversation about the dismissive behavior and it's odd nature, just to be quickly approached by a wait staff member on her way by to say, "I just have one question." "Do you have puppies?" I'm sorry...what?! You interrupted my conversation to ask if we have puppies. After a hesitant and puzzled reply of, "nnnooo" from my boyfriend; this woman removes his lamb shank bone off of the bread plate before leaving our table!!! Only to turn back and swiftly remove MY lamb shank bone OFF OF THE PLATE I WAS NOT FINISHED EATING FROM!!!! She didn't ask for permission...she didn't wait for the plates to arrive in the kitchen after we were finished...much less have gloves on as she snatched our bones! Who Does That!!! At any restaurant Who Does That???? Am I wrong for being offended and discussed for being so disrespected?? I am still so baffled that I am in disbelief that any of this would be considered acceptable behavior especially at such a nice establishment. Needless to say we won't be back, but it doesn't seem that they would be disappointed about that anyway. I hope your puppies enjoyed our lamb shank bones lady!! read more

Food was very good. Very understaffed. Forgot our salads. The table we sat at had a small gap between the wall and the table (end of restaurant between two columns). The people who bused the tables used that small area to walk through each time, interrupting our dinner numerous times (10 - 15). The waiter was kind enough to tell the bussers not to go through there but they continued to do so. Would be OK if we were sitting at a McDonalds but spending over $190.00 for the two of us on Christmas Dinner, that wasn't OK. I rarely complain but this was very irritating. read more
