Rainbird - Merced

Great ambiente, excellent service, a changing menu that adds newness to the slowly changing merced.

The meal is amazing and everything is well presented. we all enjoyed eveything we had, but the price forbids that most of us eat there regularly.

They love these evening-seen pairings, which each time emphasize another weingut. a rep from the weingut takes the time to answer the guests background information and ask. the pourers are generous! the personal was always professional and accommodating. the unique menu points of the cook are delicious and creatiw. the restaurant has a beautiful ambiente. we look forward to seeing more of this!

We have dimmed 3-4 times in rainbird in the last months. Last night, the staff was as usual attentive. very surprised by the pairing choices, the gay was the wrong game for the pornstar! I was at a party of four friends and we were charged 18% of the gratitude for big parties? we left a $200.00 tipp, and the next day I came home, I checked the entrance, and much to my surprise were included the 18%, wait staff not mentioned the additional fee? the food was missing, the desert was unusable? thank you. johannes

Great dining experience, service is absolutely amazing, food is delicious albeit extremely petite portions but expected for high end dining experience. You’re paying for something unique in Merced so once or twice a year it’s worth paying 3-4 times what you’d pay for a great steak dinner elsewhere. Overall it was a great date night and although most people were dressed very casual we used it as an opportunity to get dressed up. I’d definitely recommend just be prepared for the bill!
