MERCHANT AND MAIN

Located right in the middle of Downtown Vacaville and a favorite among locals, Merchant & Main is always a good choice for a dinner date. Choose to sit inside or outside on their patio for a special romantic evening. After, take an evening stroll through downtown and enjoy the historic homes along tree-lined Buck Avenue.

Tip: Split an order of baked brie to start, then follow it up with a classic steak or the 49er chicken salad - a Merchant & Main original!
