Merced’s

Ok, so I give this spot 5 stars, we got mussels for an app which 3 of us shared, was perfect, next came salads and rolls, all the dressing were exceptional (balsamic vinaigrette, and lemon thyme vinaigrette), next came entrees, baked stuffed shrimp, mushroom ravioli, chicken macadamia, and the braised short ribs. Not a complaint to be had, to finish we had the lemon cheesecake. Everything including the service (Meagan the bartender) was top notch, we will definitely be back and would recommend this to anyone in the area … Now … The only thing I would «complain «about, is the existence of flys, seemed to be excessive here, however it didn’t effect our meal … Happy Dining.

My girl and I decided to stop in this establishment for dinner last Thursday. It was aboout 700pm there where a few open tables that we noiced when we first walked in. The hostess told us there was a 20 minute wait for the cooks to catch up. Right when the hostess mentioned this we should have left. But being on vacation and having some time on hand we told the hostess we would wait at the bar. We ordered two drinks.
The hotess seated us 25 minutes later. Sat for 10 minutes when the waitress, who was pleasant, gave us menus. We where all set with drinks. About 5 minutes later wiatress takes our order. We order two meals, 1 appetizer, 1 chowder.
15 minutes now pass and we have no water, bread, or salads, we haven’t seen the wiatress and now our drinks are empty. My girl and I decided to leave. We paid for the two drinks and left. On the way out the hostess did apologize and mentioned to my girl that two cooks walked out of there shift. Awesome!
Ended up at Umbrella mart down the street and picking up a couple really good heat and serve meals for our room.
Not sure how the food is at Merced’s but I would recommend making a reservation before going here. Good Luck!

We had an excellent meal here over the weekend.
They have a nice wine and beer selection. The moscato was very good!
We ordered the baked haddock and the sirloin pasta. They were both cooked perfectly and very good quality. They come with salads and rolls which were also very good.
We will definitely be back and looking forward to it.

our best lobster rool on our little weekend trip. we sat outside and watched the marina and boats; the staff was friendly; choice of homemade chips or fries, and good big lobster roll with only a tinge of mayo, and a bit of lemon juice, Perfect… we would definitely go back. staff nice and prices very reasonable.

The food is always good here. Other people mention the hostess. That is the biggest challenge. I think she is probably a nice person but a little overwhelmed by crowds or the potential for crowds. I’ve been twice and both times getting seated was the obstacle but the food turned out great. Beer options are just ok for beer geeks, but you’ll find one or two decent ones. One of the better dinner options near Sebago Lake, for sure. Good views of Brandy Pond marina area.

Disappointed with the food. Grilled Chicken Sandwich was not tasty at all and the roll fell apart while trying to eat it. My son got a hamburger and that was worse. Very dry and not good– again the roll just fell all apart! The service was extremely SLOW!

We only were able to visit this place once during our stay in Naples, and feel that we need an extra visit to explore more of their seafood menu.
I had the salmon with a lobster hash, which was pretty interesting. I love potatoes, so this dish was perfect for me. The salmon was a little dry, however. My husband had a scallop pasta dish. Though, he said he’d never had better scallops, the pasta was overcooked and not worth eating once the scallops were gone.
Service was average for Naples (read: on the slow side) and the prices were comparable to the restaurants in the area.

Party of six, and we had a great dinner at Merced’s. Not overly flashy when you walk in, but the food was all prepared well and our waiter was friendly and attentive. Highlight was the baked stuffed lobster (whole, big lobstah) stuffed with shrimp and scallops. Highly recommend Frank’s blueberry salad as a substitute over the house salad. Great views of Brandy Pond on one side and Long Lake on the other. It’s a solid four and a half star place, but I’m giving it five for the great service and views, on top of the very solid food. We will definitely return.

We have been here a couple of times while on vacation. Each time, the hostess was unpleasant. Hostess needs an attitude adjustment. Food and service was good, but the hostess has issues. After placing reservation on her time table, we were still unable to get the server we wanted. She also snapped at our server over the window shades. Get rid of the hostess and I will give you 5 stars.

I ordered the beef tenderloin tipsMarsala. I asked for no mushrooms and asked if they could add peppers onions and tomatoes to be added instead. I was told that the kitchen was too backed up for the kitchen to be able to add the additional items into my dish. When I was told that the kitchen could not accommodate my request half of the restaurant was empty. As a customer and as a person that has worked in many restaurants I find the decline of my request unacceptable. I could have been charged accordingly. Terrible flexibility for their guests with a great view. I’ll never go back again!

I have been here a couple of times now. Going off season, I expected to have a short wait and good service. Well, we got seated right away, and even though there were 2 booths open, we were told they only had tables available. Ummm, okay… 5 minutes later a couple walked in and was seated at a booth. 10 minutes after that a table of 4 was seated at the other booth… wth? Our waitress spent so much time taking care of one of her regulars that it took 20 minutes just to place our order. We got our soup and salad fairly quickly but had a 15 minute wait between salad and entrée. Getting the waitresses attention was quite difficult since that «regular» table required so much attention.
The food is pretty good. Soups are great but I find that the vegetables are so over seasoned with basil that they competed with the fish I ordered. While each item is good on its own, together on one plate they don’t blend well at all! All in all, my last trip here will probably be my last trip.

The food was delicious the view of the bridge and water was beautiful. Service was great. Only complaint it was a little congested inside

Made a reservation for 4 people at 6:30pm on a Saturday. We arrived on time and were seated immediately. (I recommend reservations on the weekends and summer!) parking can be a little difficult as there are not many spaces available.
We started with an appetizer. The «Baked Fresh Mozzarella– Marinated Tuscan style, baked on crostini, and served with tomato coulis (7.95)». There were five pieces of bread with a sun dried tomato sauce on top and mozzarella. It was just enough for an appetizer and had good flavor
My son ordered the lobster stew and «Grilled Swordfish: Topped with a Maine lobster and tangerine sauce. ($ 20.95)». I had the clam chowder and «Filet Mignon: 8-​oz. center-​cut tenderloin wrapped in bacon, grilled to your liking, and topped with sautéed mushrooms ($ 24.95)» (which is what my mother had as well) and my husband had the evening special of prime rib. Everything from the salad and homemade rolls that came with each meal was absolutely delicious. The tangerine sauce on the grilled swordfish was nice and light to give the fish a good flavor. I wish the bacon on the filet was a little crispier, but the filet was tender and flavorful. The mushrooms are a great add and really make the dish.
We typically never order dessert but it was my birthday so we all shared the lemon cheesecake with fresh maine blueberry topping and the toll house cookie pie with vanilla ice cream. Sooooo gooood!
The service was fast and our waitress extremely nice. The bus boy was quick to clear –a little too quick sometimes and I said I’d stab him with my fork if he tried to take my plate! Haha. He was very polite and asked to clear the next time. The waitresses and bus boy even sang me happy birthday with a candle in my dessert :)
As usual Merced’s doesn’t disappoint. With their casual waterfront dining and all food made in house from scratch. Fair prices for meals made to order, salad, rolls and choice of sides (potato, rice or baked potato) Can’t wait to go again.

I had this at 3 stars but this week, a year or more after my review was posted it has been deemed incredibly rude. I have been receiving emails from an employee that I can only describe as petty harassment. If this is the way they operate then although I live part of the year just down the street I will never be back.
Just as a side note… Thanks for the mother comments since I just buried the woman you jerk!

There are some bad reviews about this place. We held off going because of the reviews. We did run out of places to go in Naples so we went here on the reccomendation of a local friend. The food was excellent, the service just fine, and the prices reasonable. We would have gone here more often had we known about this place. We will def. come back when in the area.

Went for dinner last night for first time… Hubby is allergic to shellfish and we told waitress this at beginning she gave us great options and said she would make sure chef knew the allergy. He ordered the chicken tenders and fries and I got the small sirloin steak with potato wedges and salad came with it… Blue cheese dressing was delicious! Not sure if homemade, but didn’t taste like any bottle one I know of!
Tenders were unbelievable! Huge homemade light and airy breading and moist! Delicious honey mustard for dipping.
Sirloin was tender and perfectly cooked. The wedges were great too!
I got unsweetened iced tea and hubby a soda… waitress was attentive and talkative and very on top of service!
Definitely going back here, and the view from the deck is amazing!

I live in a close proximity to Merced’s and have dined there 5 – 6 times. The food has always been good and deserves a 5 stars. However, last time we were there we arrived exactly on time for our reservation and the hostess in a coarse and abrupt tone said «you almost lost your reservation and there is another party coming in 1.5 hour for that table!!! We’ll we took our time and had desert I was not about to rush when paying a premium price for dinner.
Tonight, I called for a reservation, the same hostess answered the phone asked «when would I like to come in» I said 6:00 she said «that’s not going to happen»!!! I asked what was available and she said 5:30. I said I could do that but might be 5 minutes late. Again she seemed quite consternated and said «I need that table for another party at 7:00. I will hold the table 10 minutes and that’s it»!!! I told my wife this story and she said cancel. We went to another restaurant and had a nice relaxing and enjoyable diner.
Maine has a number of dining option and poor customer service is inexcusable. I will probably not go back!

We had a party of six and the food, service, and atmosphere was great. Troy, the waiter, was fantastic
We will go back.

If you like Dunkin donuts then you will like it here. Nice views ok wine list very mediocre food and service

Appetizer start with lobster stew decadently good. Yum.
Entrée ordered was Maine Shellfish Estiva of lobster scallops and shrimp over linguine was great. I added capers and the saltiness was a perfect addition
My wife had the baked Salmon with cucumber salsa she loved.
Above all you must ask to eat on the upper deck, unbelievable view of Brandy Pond and Long Lake
If had any complaint, service is Maine slowness :). Laid back and no rush so plan to relax
