Mercy opens on April 1st in the old Marin space, inside the Le Meridien Chambers hotel. A casual, cabin feel will accompany a menu that will highlight several different types of oysters, crab, as well as land-based dishes. Keith Werner brings years of experience at Eat Street Social to bear on his new cocktail menu; that's seasonal, whimsical, and features several craft non-alcoholic beverages.
