We've been dancing at the Mercury several times, but one time ate there with a group of 20 friends. I want to recommend it and I want it to be successful, but I have to say it was the worst dinner I've had in Denver. I love many things about the Mercury Cafe, but the food just isn't one of them. I ordered a tofu stirfry without mushrooms, and it came out looking perfect and crispy but with mushrooms as the main ingredient. I sent it back and it took over 30 minutes for the replacement to come. Many of my friends had left by then! The replacement was gooey and raw. I was nothing but charming to the staff, but I was so disappointed. My husband doesn't even want to go there to dance anymore after that.
Pros: supports local vendor, best swing dancing, varied veggie menu
Cons: inexperienced service, slow service, awful food
