Mercantile

Mercantile has an attractive space with an enjoyable menu to select from. Everything was prepared well and the service was very good; knowledgeable and genuine. Stand out dishes for us were the beef cheeks, charred cabbage, and octopus. Lots of enjoyment there! Caviar was also tasty. Spiced carrots were a miss for us; dill forward and not actually spicy. 8/10. Definitely a good spot for a high quality meal. We’ll be back eventually. Also very gluten free friendly.

Good atmosphere and food, but... The bathroom situation sucks. It’s fine dining and you share a bathroom with anyone who wanders through Union station. Long bathroom lines and ice cold hand washing water. Food is disappointing for allergies. Not sure why they ask on Resy. They asked about occasion and food allergies and didn’t seem to care about either. There was not much for gluten or dairy allergy. I tried my best but definitely suffering after eating there (my insides are!) I do like the overall feel and of course Union station is a Denver staple. Too bad the homeless essentially run the streets now. Even so. I’ll be back to try lunch at least once. I truly cannot believe the chef just doesn’t keep a loaf of gluten free bread on hand. Really a bummer on that front! My husband (no allergies) enjoyed his food. Pricey though at $140 for a meal with no alcohol.
