  If you don't have a lot of time in Charlottetown, be sure to make this as one of your stops! The atmosphere is certainly inviting and the patio has just the right amount of breeze.
  
  Upon my arrival, I was greeted by a very helpful host who seated us quickly and offered to get us water as we perused the menu.
  
  When our server (Emma) arrived, she was friendly and welcoming. She was knowledgeable about the oysters and made a few recommendations. The oysters were fresh, well shucked, and presented nicely.
  
  When we finished, Emma promptly brought over the check and asked how we enjoyed our time. You can tell that she was engaged and obviously loves her job. She is certainly an asset to Merchantman!

  Was in Charlottetown for a conference in late Sept 2016 and decided to try out Merchant Man which was next to the hotel I was staying at.
  
  It was 8pm so things were busy but not that busy given evening crowd must have eaten and moved on.
  
  Delightful waitress who was bubbly and welcoming. The menu was not overly full of confusing choices and since I was lobstered out from conference dinners, I opted for the braised short ribs for starters and good old fish and chips for main.
  
  The short ribs came out after 15mins and were piping hot. I wasn't to sure if they were frozen but they did taste good and the bbq sauce was not sickeningly sweet.
  
  The fish and chips were good. The Lager batter was just right in terms of coating and the home cut chips were also fresh and not greasy. The tartar sauce was standard but overall, I did like the haddock and chips.
  
  Would I visit again, indeed and I would try the seafood options.
  
  It should be noted that Merchant Man is owned by the Murphy group who also have other eateries and hotels in their portfolio. Take a look.

  Good food and helpful staff but very poor wine list, no PEI wines or even Maritime wines. Would have given 4 stars but too many boring ubiquitous Australian and Californian wines were listed. They celebrate local sourced foods which is good but they give a choice Canadian wines too. Others places give better choice.
