Restaurants in Merced

“Ordered pickup, they were courteous, even loaded me up with the fresh meat rather than empty the older tray. Meat was still tender hours after resting in the fridge. Can't wait for next ”

“cool food options! especially for merced's limited fine dining scene. cocktail menu was fun and really good. service was really nice and our waitress answered all my questions abt the menu or would go to the kitchen to find answers (i was genuinely curious abt an entree; was not pulling a karen). only caveat is that their flan was giving creme brûlée. but a sweet treat is a sweet treat, and i left satisfied! we also stayed past their closing time, and they respectfully packed our leftovers without rushing us:)”

“Vinhos is a gem on Main Street! We happened upon this lovely place looking for a good meal and we're big fans of tapas. We stopped in just before 6:00 and we're greeted by a friendly woman getting the restaurant ready for opening. We later came to find out she was an owner. She was so sweet and offered to seat us before the servers actually showed up, as they had worked a local event that day. The waitress soon came and our wonderful experience began. They have a great wine list and wine cocktails. We ordered three dishes and were pleased with the presentation and flavors. Pica-Pau - a traditional Portuguese dish with beef and spices in a delicious broth. It's served with bread for soaking up the broth. I really enjoyed this dish, especially the broth. Crostini di Mare - shrimp on crostini's with a tangy garlicky sauce on top. This was my favorite and I wouldn't hesitate to order this again. Sea Legs - octopus over a sweet potato mash. This was tasty as well and the octopus was cooked perfectly. The sweet potato mash is divine!! We also had a Caprese salad, pretty average, but nice presentation. The outdoor seating area is comfortable and so nice to people watch on the main drag. We really enjoyed ourselves and plan to go back next time we visit. The service is excellent, portions in line with tapas and atmosphere is great.”

“My husband and I tried this place on a whim. The food was delicious and service was impressive. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend for a date night too”

“Great local wine bar. Great owner Tracy and staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Awesome west coast wines. If you're in the area this is a must visit. Snacks and wine amazing”

“Destino's is a culinary gem that excels in creating a delightful dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a cozy ambiance that immediately puts you at ease. The staff is friendly and attentive, always ready to accommodate your needs with a smile.The restaurant's selection of alcoholic drinks is impressive, offering a variety of options to complement your meal. Whether you're in the mood for a classic cocktail or a glass of wine, Destino's has you covered.The food at Destino's is nothing short of spectacular. The appetizers, such as the beer-battered cheese bites and fried calamari, are cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and deliciously gooey on the inside. But the real star of the show is the Mama Mia pizza. This mouthwatering creation features a perfect crust, flavorful sauce, and a generous topping of cheese and toppings. It's truly a culinary masterpiece that will leave you craving more.Overall, Destino's is a must-visit for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. From the atmosphere to the food, it checks every box and leaves you wanting more.”

“Excellent food, dining, atmosphere and service!! Very impressed with the owner. He's friendly and wants his customers to have a good experience. Will most definitely be going back!!”

“This is the Creamy Mushroom Braised Beef Risotto and the Costolette Brasate and Gnocchi !!! The first dish were boneless braised beef short ribs topped in a creamy mushroom sauce served over a side of risotto and asparagus! The meat was nice for a braised beef dish, and the sauce was not super bad! The mushrooms were super good in my opinion, and I wasn’t really a big fan of the risotto because I’m not really used to cold rice, but it was good! The asparagus was pretty good! The second dish were braised beef short ribs too but with a savory marsala gravy sauce served with a rosemary butter pesto gnocchi and asparagus! The sauce for this dish was soooo much better than the mushroom sauce in my opinion, so the marsala sauce is definitely a good choice to get here! It was thick, savory, and a dark red color! The gnocchi had a strong pesto taste, and it was nice to eat! We also were given bread and soup! We tried the minestrone and the seafood bisque! The minestrone soup didn’t taste like Olive Garden’s, but it did taste much more authentic and real! The seafood bisque was superrr good, and it was filled with so much flavor! We went on Valentine’s Day, so it was a bit busy, but the workers did a great job serving us!”

“I always come here, good service. They have a lot of variety of food. I wish they had soju options. Sake (white peach) tastes like perfume. Edemame is mid. Greta ambience and sushi for Merced. I know. Good amount of seating more. 2 tvs for sports. You can also view the chefs making the rolls.”

“Love this place! Whether you dine here or order to go, the service is always great! Always order bag of shrimp, mussels, clams, potatoes, n corn w/medium atomic sauce.. total bomb!! Side of steamed rice n garlic noodles!!”

“Loved our visit to Five Ten! Great menu, delicious food, attentive waitress. I had the lemon shrimp pasta and a dinner salad. Others had the carnitas sandwich, patty melt, poke bowl, asparagus gouda soup, and fried pickles. It was all great! Positive things to note, all of it was delicious, especially the pasta, carnitas sandwich, French fries, asparagus soup, and blue cheese dressing! Room for improvement was the freshness of the salad greens. Also, the poke needed to be served with rice, and tea/sodas seemed weak. But all in all, this place is great ??”

“Stopped by on way to Yosemite. There is not outside seating (Yelp said there was). Angie the owner is so welcoming! We had a carne asada torta, it was perfect! It's the panini style pressed with the ridges, love it. We also had the spicy shrimp, perfectly grilled and in an amazing sauce that was not too spicy and just a hint of smokiness. We also got guacamole that seemed liked it had been two avocados just 30 seconds right before it came to table. So fresh! The guacamole was only lightly seasoned, but it was nice with the food.”

“Love getting unlimited bar, food is freshly good, especially shrimp platter. Overall, it's worth it even though its entree is expensive. Come hungry, but you'll leave a full tummy.Kid-friendliness: Different of food choices for kids to enjoy like fruits and little bit dessert”

“I’ve been to this place twice. The Hot Cacao and the Turmeric Latte are both amazing. I haven’t tried any of the smoothies yet because of the cold weather. However the ambience is nice and customer service is phenomenal.”

“One of my favorite places to grab a drink. Drink orders come out fast usually done after you pay and before you can sit down lol. Food takes a little longer, but you know it's made to order. The food is more like a snack, but the drinks are where it's at.”

“Really didn't want to leave a bad review, but it should be noted. I've never had bad meats from here before, but this years prime rib was ruined. I needed a 9 pound, and when I got home, the tag said just over 6 and a half. Yes, I should have looked, but I put my trust in these guys. He asked if I wanted it seasoned, which I always do, but this year was sooo over seasoned. It was terribly over salted. Was really let down and disappointed this year. I'm not saying I won't purchase here anymore because I will purchase another....just hoping I don't have another problem.”

“bernie’s is my favorite liquor store! they are NOT overpriced like some of these reviews say, if you’re broke just say that? Bossman is the homie! He’s always hooking it up and he always makes you laugh! I’ve gone to bernie’s since i was a kid and i’ve never had any problems! boss man is og?”

“Was gonna go to class that night but got an email saying they cancelled then got on bus to attempt to still go that way but the bus didn't turn the rite wayHad the number 10”

“We went in with 11 people, 6 of which are kids under 10. Great food, great service. Our waitress Charisma was amazing, she was very on top of things and constantly checked in on us ensuring our time was wonderful. Drinks, soups, breads - we wanted for nothing. Absolutely would come again, the kids all enjoyed the food and the family enjoyed a night out together.”

“This is a great place for any of your functions. Birthday parties get togethers. Food is good. Pizza's hot and made the way you like it. Staff is very helpfulKid-friendliness: Plenty of video games. And claw games also soccer and punching games for the kids of all ages”

“Been living here my whole life and never tried this spot until tonight. Wow the steaks were perfectly cooked and season! I got the spicy coffee rub and wow, the cook sure cooked it perfectly "medium". Came out so good, best steak in twn!! Better then texas road house! Only thing missing is the bread with sweet butter!”

“First time dining here. I have to say it was a very pleasant experience. I did not know what to expect when I entered with 2 birthday cakes... to my surprise, I was greeted with smiles. Thank you Round Table.”

“Pizza was really good. I was surprised because the last time I was there it had to have been about 5 years. So I will definitely recommend going. If you haven't been there in a while,”

“Now after some time that the restaurant established themselves in Merced as one of the few places that serve seafood. I have enjoyed twice a visit, the first was a lunch , the second was a dinner. Both times were excellent. The second time I found myself going to the Karaoke and taking on 2 songs while waiting for the food lol. I had a good time, food was great. Will go back soon.”

“me n Ed's no matter what is delicious. Merced is where my favorite me n Ed's is located the manager is awesome and the kid also. This place is hidden so it's not to busy when I go the service is top notch i like how they reapply the cheese because they are aware it can melt off and leave the pizza looking a bit undressed so far haven't had that problem in years they have addressed it and haven't looked back. It is a little small in there not really designed for high volume dining in. But it does provide couple TVs juke box couple arcade beer on tap and some machines with surprizes. The little mint andes chocolates is a nice treat.”
