Delicious food and good drinks. Service was on point. I've been coming here for years and quality has remained consistent.

Located in the original Edison building, this location has gone through a lot of change from being a place where individuals could pay their bills and get items repaired to multiple restaurants. The history of the building is so cool! Make sure to look up the details!

Since being a restaurant, this spot has gone through 3 renovations. I can't compare to the past, but this one is cute. Definitely a girlie vibe, but lots of dudes come here too.

My husband sat in the bar so we could people watch. Great location by the window (table for 2) and views of the restaurant, patio, and the outside area.

We started off with a couple of cocktails. For dinner, we ordered the salmon, short ribs, and the wild mushrooms. Good flavors and portion sizes. We weren't offered a dessert menu to peak at but we saw others indulging and they are giant. Definitely Instagramable desserts!

I probably would have ordered one for a few bites and a lot of pictures.

We came on a Friday night. They only take reservations for 3 or more people. We had no problem getting a seat!

Went here for Mother's Day brunch. The staff was dressed to impress. Everyone walking by and bringing anything to the table said "Happy Mother's Day" with smiles. Everyone made you feel welcomed and special. It looked lively and bright.
We had the calamari appetizer. We had the Branzino and red velvet pancakes. The pancakes looked decadent. The branzino was amazing. I also had a Paloma and sei mei they were both great. I recommend the sei mei. When I go back I will be having it again with the branzino.

I am not sure why I keep giving 220 Merrill chance after chance but this place just isn't worth the hype. Sure the ambiance is nice but the food misses the mark and the prices are not worth it. Our almost $30 salads were drowning in dressing and lacking in the uncharged protein. The coffee at brunch was undrinkable. Our server kept calling us "the ladies" like what do the ladies want to drink, what are the ladies celebrating. It was so very strange. Our server also seemed unknowledable about gluten free menu items and had to keep coming back to correct the information. The tables are literally jam packed on top of each other which has to be a servers nightmare and as a guest it felt intrusive. I think I am done giving them chances.

My friends and I visited here in warmer weather and we were able to sit out on the patio. It was cute and cozy!

I started out with the oysters which were fresh and delicious. Sticking to the seafood theme, I went with the Birmingham salad, which had calamari, shrimp, avocado, and a light dressing. It was very filling!

The waitstaff was friendly and helpful, and also knowledgeable about their menu, and able to accommodate my friend with a dairy allergy. I'd come back here again

Back "home" in the D for a quick 48 hours, I was able to squeeze in a visit with friends and we ended up here at 220 Merrill. It was this past Saturday evening, and my friend Sloan picked me up from the airport ... My flight landed DTW at 7:30 and we were at a table meeting our friends Ali and Evan for drinks / dinner at 220 Merrill by 8:30. Thanks to Ali and Evan for scoring the table in the bar for all of us!

It was a cold evening, so I so appreciated the valet parking situation (and the one working heat lamp outside on the tail end) too!

I was amazed with how crowded the place was considering the freezing cold weather and darkness outside! It was a fun ambiance with great energy but it was super loud... I couldn't hear half the conversation that Ali and Sloan were having right next to me and I don't think Evan could hear half of what I was saying either!

Service was attentive... we had drinks pretty quickly and food shortly after. Everyone enjoyed the food they had including a Greek Salad, Steak, Truffle Fries, Oysters and Shrimp Cocktail. (Thanks Sloan for sharing those last three items with me... I needed some comfort food that night and our selections were perfect!).

220 Merrill has quite the history, so if you find yourself in the area seeking American cuisine and/or a full bar in an upscale, fun albeit a bit loud environment, check it out!

Service was great. Got seated right away. Love the decor and lighting. Started with the tuna tartare appetizer which was delicious. Mediterranean salad was pretty good but could be better -- needs more of the yummy beets. Short rib was amazing. Definitely coming back soon

Really impressed with the service here. Our waiter Shannon was outstanding and really took care of us. The food was great I really enjoyed the sirloin tips with garlic toast and banana fosters pancakes.
