    Another stellar wino-friendly night at Merriman's. The energy of the room is compelling, our service was outstanding--attentive, engaged, timely and not over-bearing, just perfect. The smash burgers were genuinely delicious and filling, the butter lettuce salad crisp and perfectly dressed, the long beans appropriately spicy and the fries a great accompaniment. We were able to bring and share a 2007 Bond Matriarch that proved outstanding--thank you again Merriman's for being so wino-friendly. Always on our short list of wino places for wine share dinners.
