Choosing a Steakhouse in Arlington: Prices, Reservations, Parking, Hours and How Mercury Compares

Choosing a steakhouse comes down to a handful of facts: the cuts and what they cost, whether you need a reservation, where you park, when the kitchen closes, and what the room is like. For Mercury Chophouse – Arlington the short version is a 6 oz filet at $62, OpenTable or 817-381-1157 to book, free parking at the tower, 9 PM close on weeknights, and a ninth-floor view no one else in the city has.

These are the last pages a decided diner reads. They answer the questions that come up between deciding to go and getting in the car: how much two people should expect to spend, whether a walk-in on a Tuesday is realistic, what happens with the check for a party of fourteen, whether there is a happy hour, and how the lunch menu differs from dinner.

The comparison pages make the case for Mercury on verifiable specifics rather than adjectives: the view from the Brookhollow Two tower, an independent owner rather than a chain, a wine wall that runs to Opus One, live piano, a private Boardroom, and a sister restaurant, Hearsay – Arlington, inside Choctaw Stadium for the nights you want seafood instead.
