Inside Union Station's soaring train hall, Mercantile occupies a provenance-obsessed corner of the food world — Alex Seidel's restaurant sources from his own Fruition Farm and a network of Colorado farmers the kitchen has cultivated for years. Happy hour is extraordinary value: wood-grilled oysters at $7, craft cocktails at $7, and a scotch egg that could alone justify the visit. Denver's most quietly spectacular restaurant.
