About this restaurant

Great for happy hour
Neighborhood gem
Lively

Mermaid Oyster Bar is a family of casually sophisticated seafood restaurants born in New York in 2003.

Starting out in Manhattan’s East Village as a spot-on rendition of a casual New England fish shack, The Mermaid Inn has morphed into an American seafood brasserie, replete with style, hospitality and a menu marked by bold and seasonally inspired cuisine. The Mermaid Inn has been designed to evoke the feeling of being on a mini vacation in a small seaside village.

The restaurant is very good. The food is delicious and well served. The waitress that served us was not very friendly. But this didn't spoil our experience.

Went for Happy Hour, shrimp sliders were excellent, oysters small but tasted good. Calamari it’s self was good but did not care for the sauce. Waiter didn’t return often for drink refills or to check on us. He seemed annoyed, not sure it was because we were from out of town or there for Happy Hour. We left after appetizers and drinks. Too bad, we went elsewhere for dinner and were appreciated. Nice atmosphere

The seafood was terrible; the fish taco shell was hard and overly salty.

We had a great experience at this restaurant. 2 of us shared a combination of 6 different kinds of oysters as an appetizer. They were delicious! I had an excellent lobster roll as my main dish. Nice big chunks of lobster. The staff were very attentive and helpful in helping us to choose what we wanted. The price for Manhattan in the theater district was very reasonable. We would go back again.

A boisterous establishment that could use some engineering to help with the sound level. Server was really good. Food was ok but very salty. And the Tito's dirty martini was $22!!! Location is very convenient to many theaters. We will keep it as an option in our back pocket but it won't be very high on the list.
