Why the reservation is the moment to say it
A steakhouse kitchen preps around a printed menu. Steaks, sauces and sides are built for that menu, and a dining room at 7 PM on a Saturday is not the easiest place to invent a new dish. Told in advance, the kitchen has time to plan something properly. Told at the table, it is working against the clock with whatever is on hand. The restaurant is straightforward about this: give it notice and it will do its best.
Where to put the request
| When | Where | What to say |
|---|---|---|
| Booking online | The special requests field on OpenTable | Name the need and the number of guests it applies to |
| Booking by phone | 817-381-1157 | Say it while you are giving the party size |
| On arrival | Your server | Mention it again so the floor and the kitchen match |
| Private events | When you arrange the room | Include the count in the plan for the event |
Be specific rather than general
“No gluten” and “celiac” are different instructions to a kitchen, and so are “vegetarian” and “vegan.” Naming the actual restriction, and whether it is a preference or a medical need, is more useful than a label. If it is an allergy, say the word allergy — it changes how the kitchen handles the plate.
The pages for each
Two companion pages go into more detail on what tends to be possible: vegetarian options and gluten-free dining. Both come back to the same advice — tell them when you book.

Frequently asked questions
Can Mercury Chophouse handle a vegan or gluten-free guest?
Yes. The restaurant says the kitchen does its best to accommodate vegan and gluten-free requests. It asks that you mention the request when you book rather than on arrival, so the kitchen can have options ready for you.
Where do I tell them about a dietary request?
In the special requests field when you book through OpenTable, or by saying so on the phone at 817-381-1157. Mention it again to your server when you sit down, so the kitchen and the floor are working from the same information.
How far ahead should I mention it?
When you make the reservation is the right moment. A steakhouse kitchen builds its prep around the printed menu, so notice is what turns a request into a prepared plate rather than something assembled on the spot.
Is there a published vegan or gluten-free menu?
No separate menu is published. What the kitchen can do depends on the night and on what is in the walk-in, which is exactly why the restaurant asks to hear about it in advance. Ask your server what is possible that evening.
What about a private event with several dietary requests?
Raise it when you are arranging the event rather than on the night. Private dining is handled as its own conversation, so the count and the requests can be built into the plan for the room.
