The Mercury is one of my favorites in Denver because they have a great ambience and organic/natural food. I wouldn't, however, go out of my way to say that their food is excellent every single time. Last time I was there, I had a delicious piece of fish that was cooked perfectly. The time before that I had a kebab and it was also quite moist and tasty. Alas, there are some misses that come with the hits. A reasonably tasty main dish might have undercooked veggies. You might get a dessert sampler to marvel at the pie, but wonder why they have to make their vegan cake so......um....dry! The cooks seem to have the most struggle with under-and over-cooking, but other than that, it's yummy food and great for a date. Check out Valentine's Day, where they assemble a whole menu of aphrodisiac foods.
Pros: colorful, funky crowd, organics
Cons: inconsistency
