Went to 220 Merrill for my friends private birthday celebration and it was nothing short of amazing. Our servers in the room were on top of everything, I never had an empty drink. The food was equally as wonderful. I will definitely be returning.

On arrival, we requested a booth in The Lounge to try Happy Hour. It turned out to be very Happy Two-Hours. Nicky (Nicole) and her waitstaff team fulfilled every request and snapped a few pics. Great time with truly great food.

I love the changing menu that fits with the season. The Greek salad remains fantastic and should never leave the menu. The filet was nice. Lamb chops sounded better than they were with barely a hint of harissa. The charred octopus al pastor seemed like a great concept but I couldn’t find anything Al pastor related to it at all. I’d definitely skip it. The N/A and traditional drinks were great. I love the Suburban!
