Prime rib had a lot of fat. I’m not paying for a rib with half fat. Can’t believe they gave it to me like that I will never go back.

Happy to see this Historic Merced Icon has revamped its menu to include a few vegetarian options. Had a delicious meal with family. While I was enjoying my Marchino House Salad, my companions were raving about the excellent quality of the perfect prime rib.

Used to be our favorite nice place, didnt go for years after they updated the menu, raised the prices and made you pay for any and all sides. Came back because it is still the only nice place in town. I get a salad and a Drambuie, hub gets prime rib and bloody Mary. Last night the prime rib was too tough to eat. Sad.
Later on:
Let's see. Another favorite bites the dust. It's 7 pm, we had 6 pm reservations and all I have is my drink. David's salad came first. It's prickly lettuce. I can't do prickly lettuce. I ask if I can have romaine, and am told no romaine. I cancel salad. Beloved George comes out and says they have romaine. Okay. They said they didn't have Drambuie, oops, yes they do. Totally new, green crew who needed instruction that table cloths should fall all the way to the ground and then some, a disaster waiting to happen. I believe the previous owner sold, which would explain the new crew and their disorientation, as well as the new menu trying to look like a class act with cents (sense?) removed. You do have to ask for butter etc for your baked potato, unless you get George, and the waiter we had told me a few, say, untruths. Sad to say there would be little reason to return. They might want to make their sorbet a little more appetizing looking.
P.S. The business is basically dead. No one goes.
