Square Meal review of The Mercer:

The Mercer occupies a former banking hall, previously home to over-the-top baroque restaurant & bar, The Ballroom. It’s a lot more sober than its predecessor, with soaring black columns & white lighting, & staff kitted out in similarly monochrome fashion. It’s smart, slightly masculine & would be instantly familiar to anyone who has lunched on Wall Street, except for the fact the menu is modern British offering plenty of steaks, fish dishes & salads. A warm salad of black pudding with softly poached egg, saute potatoes & lardons was a hearty starter, while a main course of venison shank on peppery colcannon was cooked with aplomb & served with a glistening, wine-enriched reduction. Execution is generally confident & only a deconstructed Black Forest trifle proved disappointing with its heavy sponge. A smattering of English, Italian, Spanish & New World choices feature on the predominantly French wine list, which has a broad & interesting selection by the glass & carafe.
