Mercantile Dining & Provisions at Denver’s Historic Union Station is a bustling spot! The atmosphere is electric and befitting of a restaurant in such an iconic location. But let’s talk about the food—those shishito peppers were a revelation! They were easily the best I’ve ever had.
Chef Alex Seidel’s commitment to bridging the gap between farmers, shepherds, chefs, and servers is evident in every dish. It’s not just a restaurant; it’s proof of the appreciation for the journey from farm to table. The story behind each dish is well-preserved and beautifully told.

Nice place for a quick drink. There are plenty of outlets to charge your devices if needed. The lamb meatballs were unexpectedly spicy and tasty. The graham cracker porter was a great value. Would definitely get again. The overall vibe was decent given the circumstances. Would definitely return.

I highly highly recommend the lemonade. I think it’s the best I’ve ever had!!
They used to have the best brownies, - a fudgey, rich brownie with the thinnest crust layer on top, & sea salt visible as garnish/taste to perfection. This time, it was very different and seemed as though maybe they messed them up as the texture was also not congruent throughout the one I was served. Additionally the people serving me seemed rather impatient and the restaurant felt understaffed and rushed. I tried to make light friendly conversation with the woman who served me and she seemed irritated.
I wasn’t asked if I wanted the brownie heated and watched the guy behind the counter grab it with his bare fingers and toss it into the oven (it is a very sticky brownie now-a-days so I found that to be a little gross).
I ended up going back up to get a different pastry which was incredible!! Pain au raisin. Highly recommend.
Maybe I came on an off day as I typically love this place, but I left feeling a bit not cared about as a customer and the brownie made me sad. Otherwise incredible place and I highly recommend it!

While Denver has certainly changed over the years, this spot has been an unwavering constant, along with my mid morning visits when in town!
Great coffee and even better pastries, the croissants are some of the best I have ever experienced:)
The food was great this time around, always is.
My cousin is a chef, the gals are both in the hospitality industry and we all deeply value reasonable service, quality food and good drinks. Everything we ordered was wonderful but yeah have to shout out that croissant again, definitely top tier in my croissant experiences haha.
Definitely visit if downtown, this place should check all the boxes!!!

Excellent food. Excellent service. The lobster fritters and risotto gnocchi were a fantastic starter. I had the pork chops and loved them. Also, the chocolate croissant bread pudding is to die for. Will definitely be back.

Great food, great drinks, great service and great atmosphere. We had the heirloom salad, duck, beef loin and scallops. All meals were great!

Absolutely incredible brunch. The hostess was super friendly and sat us quickly even without reservations. The drinks were tasty and there was a good beer selection. My friend enjoyed the chicken and waffles. The dish looked incredible….but we weren’t in a sharing mood. Unfortunately. I had the smoked Turkey sandwich and it was perfect. The meat was tender and Smokey. Ot had a great blend of flavors. Would definitely come back just for the sandwich. It was perfect. The fries were crispy and delicious as well. 10/10

An upscale dining treat adjacent to Union Station is a farm to table experience to be enjoyed over and over again. The Korean Friend Chicken Sandwich and the Miso Salmon Bowl were overflowing with flavor and cooked expertly. From the vibes to the food you will not be disappointed!

Wow. Walked in here hungry after a long light rail experience hungry and tired. Sat at the bar & Juliette took care of me, she was so sweet!!!The staff was so welcoming and accommodating to my food allergy. The chef personally came out and told me what he could make. I love this place!!!!

One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to! The environment is comfortable. The waitress is friendly. And the food is amazing!
I ordered venison and cake with pear (cannot remember the name) and a glass of beer. I never had venison before but it tastes very good. It’s medium rare and isn’t very gamey. The pear is marinated with wine and gives it a special sweet taste. I also like the nut sprinkling.

If you ever get the chance to experience the Chef's tasting, do it. We are fortunate enough to know one of the cooks so we were treated to an amazing dinner.
The items are the same as on the regular menu but in smaller portions but with an added palette cleanser and fabulous desserts. We did the 5 course meal, which was a LOT of food (thankfully we didn't do the 8 course). I also did the wine pairing, which complemented the meal very well.
We're already looking forward to coming back to Denver and doing it again.

In the Denver are for a conference. Spent the morning wandering the downtown. What a cool city! Finally had to have a seat to rest my weary bones and selected the Mercantile. It was an excellent choice.
Situated in Denver’s Union Station (a classic!), there was the choice of indoor or patio seating but given the temps were pushing 100F, I opted for the bar.
I enjoyed talking with the bartenders and they guided me well in my choices. I selected a really nice hazy IPA and a Korean Chicken sandwich. The sandwich had some cucumber and mint that added a really refreshing touch to an already flavorful sandwich. Can’t recommend it enough! I also loved the side greens. I was like a Korean Caesar salad. So good!
I wholeheartedly recommend the Mercantile!

If this restaurant is indicative of the restaurant scene in downtown Denver, count me in!! I stopped in a little before closing on a Wednesday evening and they were gracious enough to take in this lowly traveling.
The service was excellent and the food was too. My favorite was the sparkling water they serve… I don’t know why it tastes so exceptional but it was crisp and perfectly bubbly. Mmm!
I ordered the Bread Service, the Salt Roasted Beet Salad and the Parisian Gnocchi which were all delightful. I left satisfied and happy with my experience. Definitely recommend!

I've been here for both brunch and dinner. Both are delicious. The chicken and waffles from brunch and duck from dinner a year ago were amazing. The portion size of the chicken and waffles is a bit small so you will have room for a little extra, like a pastry.

Went on a Saturday hoping to have an item I had seen on their lunch menu but discovered that that menu was only available Monday through Thursday. Friday through Sunday they use a brunch menu that shares a number of the items on their breakfast and lunch menu but not the one I was craving. Guess I will try to get it another time. Since I was there I decided to try their Hot Mortadella sandwich with fries and a cup of their Irish coffee (since Denver’s saint Patrick’s day parade was that day. The coffee had a healthy dose of alcohol in it and it was good. The sand wish was good as well. The fries were a bit disappointing with too mush salt and one of the dipping sauces having a noticeable odd color on top as if it had been sitting out awhile. Friendly staff. They had some items you can buy for your pantry that I had hoped to buy after meeting friends but when I returned I found that closed between lunch and dinner service so another it I need to get next time. Be prepared for a a pricey but good meal not including the added 20% gratuity.
