" Visiting Merrill's was a long-awaited plan with some friends, and it didn't disappoint. The wait for a table was brief, and we were greeted with smiles. The seafood risotto was my choice and had a delightful taste. We all tried a dessert to share - each one was better than the last! I appreciate the restaurant's cash-only policy as it simplifies things, too! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Merrill's for lunch last week, and I loved everything about it! The stuffed peppers were a divine starter, and I followed up with their classic meatballs. The portion sizes were generous, and I was impressed by the freshness of the ingredients. We even took home some of the desserts, as they were too tempting to pass up! The service was efficient, making it a perfect spot for a lunch break. " (*Curated Review*)

" Merrill's is one of my favorite spots in town! The service is always friendly, and they treat customers like family. I’m a huge fan of their daily specials. I had the lobster ravioli last time and couldn’t get enough. Also, their dessert portion is always generously sized! If you’re in the area, this is a must-visit spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I made a visit to Merrill's last weekend and had an unforgettable experience! From the moment we entered, the staff was incredibly welcoming. We started with the onion petals, which were unique and delicious. For mains, we opted for the famous spaghetti and clams, and they did not disappoint! The flavors were authentic, and I felt transported back to Italy. The best part, however, was the dessert. We tried three different items and couldn't pick a favorite because they were all exceptional. Highly recommend this place for anyone craving genuine Italian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes based on the reviews, but my experience was a bit mixed. While the food was indeed delicious, particularly the eggplant parm, I found the service lacking on the night my family visited. Our waitress was polite but overwhelmed, and we waited too long for our orders. The ambiance is lovely, but maybe a bit crowded during peak hours. I'd give it another shot because the food was fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Merrill's during a busy weekend, and although it was bustling, the experience was still quite enjoyable. I had the chicken parm and it was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The portion size was generous, and it came with a fresh salad. Even though the service took a little longer than expected, it was worth the wait for the food. The restaurant could use a bit of fresh paint, but the atmosphere was inviting. Overall, it’s a good local spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stumbled upon Merrill's Colonial Inn while looking for a cozy spot to celebrate a special occasion with my wife. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and it feels like stepping into a family gathering. We ordered the stuffed zucchini and a clam pasta dish, both of which were bursting with flavor. The highlight, however, was definitely the dessert menu. We couldn't resist trying the chocolate cake and banana cream pie, which were both heavenly! Our waiter was friendly and kept the drinks full. This place is a gem and will definitely become a regular stop for us. " (*Curated Review*)
