"We were so often with Mercato that we finally reserved for one night. Apparently, the layout is a little haphazard; that they are not able to make the best use of the space as it is currently sitting. The tables that are located near the entertainment are very unpleasant. If you make a reservation, do it early and ask one of the stands. We landed at the top near the window, which was for people watching inside the Wine Loft. It is usually a Naples quantity older than we are sure, but the women are dressed while the men in their Tommy Bahama shirts and cargo shorts. But let me tell you when the entertainment of some traditional jazz covers moves to some dance music, this crowd is up and moving and they don't seem to care that their butts are sitting in the vicinity. Shyla was our server and she was wonderful. She was careful to go and ask the cook about an allergen, and then delivered great descriptions of the cheese board. We had the little cheese board, the Bruschetta and Scallops. I am not a fan of fig jam (part of the cheese board), but it is homemade and my husband enjoyed it. There are some great flavors possibly my favorite was one with the red crumbs (can not remember for the life of me what Shyla said it was, but it was incredibly good). The crackers are supposed to be in the house and they were good. I liked the broschetta with the tomato/cheese mixture in a bowl and the roasted bread was served in stacks. I'd rather arrange it for myself to bite, and that's exactly what it allows you to do. It was a little higher on the acid side than I would like, but still good. My husband loved the scallops. He thinks the winery also makes his own grottos because he said he could taste the corn. I'm not a groll, so I don't know if that's good or not. We are huge fans of roasted cauliflowers and the page contain roasted cauliflowers with Pancetta. A hit. I know they like their wine list, but my husband ordered a vodka martini, straight, blue cheese olives. It thought it was quite strong compared to some of the Martinis he had other places in the city."
