220 Merrill positions itself as Birmingham's flagship upscale American steakhouse with a broader menu than most peers. Where a traditional steakhouse focuses on cuts and sides, 220 Merrill layers in sushi rolls, stone-oven flatbreads, a raw bar and a full brunch program -- making it suitable for a wider range of occasions. Steak prices ($53--$59 for fixed cuts; market price for premium dry-aged selections) are comparable to Detroit-area upscale steakhouses. The 1932 Edison building setting, an attached lounge (The Rose Room), cocktail program and late-night weekend hours distinguish it from more formal white-tablecloth competitors.
