Located in the heart of one of the most productive agricultural regions globally, chefs at El Capitan prepare artisanal fare and spirits that pay homage to the ranchers, farmers, cheesemakers, bakers, brewers, and winemakers that have re-fashioned Merced into one of California’s best kept epicurean secrets.

I like the folks who work here, the food, particularly the Mediterranean salad mix is delicious, and they have a fine wine selection. The waiter had the knowledge to ask me if I wanted drier or a more buttery chardonnay. Good ask.

The food, ambience, and service were predictably excellent.
Our server, Savannah, was tremendous, as usual.
Attentive but not intrusive.
We were celebrating a birthday and anniversary.
It WAS special.

Reservations via OpenTable worked like a charm. Staff were friendly & attentive. Food arrived reasonably quick, was hot well presented.
Ribeyes were cooked to order & delicious.
A little pricey, not for the budget diner.
