Merrill's Tavern
Reviews
Since I was hungry and also wanted to take in the Masters in the company of people who are also golf fans I thought this would be the perfect place. Add the fact that I decided to play the course on a regular basis this year and the idea of mixing and mingling with folks who hang out there makes perfect sense. I had 2 drinks and an overpriced salad but that's OK as I expected both to be on the high $ side. I had some conversation with another diner and then decided to pay and leave. I don't usually even look at my check but I was a little curious and then surprised to see that they charged me for 3 drinks - not the 2 I actually received. That was fine as they corrected the bill, which I paid. My conversation got interesting so I decided to stay and order another drink. I finished the 1 additional drink and when I picked up my check I was astonished to see that once again they were charging me for 1 more drink than I actually received. I pointed out the error but they refused to adjust the check properly. Ordinarily I would have stood up for what was right but in this case I just paid the bill and left with a very bad taste in my mouth. My impression is that overcharging at Merrill's Tavern is a common practice. Too bad because I would have become a regular there and now I'm not sure I want to patronize the golf course either. It's entirely possible that deliberate overcharging runs rampant throughout the entire facility.
