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

Salmon & clam chowder were excellent. Sushi roll not very good. Lots of shishito peppers in one order.

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