Great service and food! Each outdoor table has an individual heating lamp to keep you warm.
Properly ventilated outdoor option with heaters to keep you warm enough to make it enjoyable. Friendly staff, great food as always. Please continue to support this location!
The best happy hour menu and outdoor dining experience in NYC.
Great food and service
Everything we ate and drank was spectacular. Staff is incredibly professional. Place feels very safe and outdoor seating is warm and cozy.
We have been to the Mermaid many times and enjoyed ourselves as we always do
This is my favorite restaurant, hands down, in my neighborhood. The tables outside are well spaced and I felt really comfortably away from all others who weren't in my party. The heaters are adequate also, even in quite cool weather. The tables were immaculate and the waiters all wore masks and asked us to wear them as well unless we were eating.
I went for brunch with a friend and the raw oysters were fantastic as well as the fish tacos. Their choice of sauvignon blanc was excellent. My friend got the shrimp po'boy sandwich and said it was excellent too. If I can only afford one restaurant per month, Mermaid is my clear choice.
Great outdoor dining setup - waitstaff was friendly and good food under the heating lamps!
Food and ambience was great. My waiter was very attentive. The heated lamp at the table was perfect. This is my 2nd visit in 6 months and will be back
We love the Mermaid!
Amazing seafood, great prices and you always feel at home
One of our ongoing favorites - will keep going to help them stay open, keep up the good work.
Great outdoor eating. Very very good brunch.
With indoor dining closed due to COVID restrictions- the heated outdoor dining was a great experience- heat lamp hung from overhead was very effective on a very cold 27degree evening
Always a good experience, and appreciate the effort all around during COVID.
Amazing food was great
The addition of heat lamps on top of all the tables made this a great experience even in 35 degree weather. MI's food is always excellent. Their version of a Manhattan was really excellent.
Great happy hour. We had oysters, a variety of happy hour apps, and a caesar salad. Everything was delicious and Dylan was super attentive. Outdoor heated dining worked perfectly - will definitely be back!
Lovely Always!
Used to have Tuna steak, no longer selling it.
Otherwise fish was oK
Great heated outdoor seating!
Overhead heat lamps did the trick !
Excellent service along with good food and drinks!
Love this place. Best happy hour! oysters!

Reliable institution, not the least dear but happy hour specials help make more affordable.
The new heat lamps are lovely ! It’s a great setting out doors and safe . Food is excellent , staff is always so nice too . We are regulars and always love it here . The clam chowder I will say is very rich. Love love the mini lobster roll 😊
We love the Mermaid Inn!
Amazing food, great service!
And the chocolate pudding !!
What great NYC institution!
This is a wonderful restaurant featuring fresh fish. The venue is warm with nautical themed decorations. The service professional, great selection of fish plus some items for meat lovers, wonderful selection of wine. One of my favorite restaurants on the upper west side.
Haven been in Hospitality Mgmt for over 20yrs, this team is spot on from stem to stern. The food is good and consistent, the staff is pleasant, cocktails are nicely balanced, ambiance is lovely, everything is clean with simple nice decor accents and the music level appropriate to have a conversation... hmmm what else?
A Must Try!!!
Immense thanks for the overall experience. Will continue to visit UWS monthly. Stay safe all. Best S
Great service
Great food
Great place
Good Service at one of our favorite restaurants on the UWS.
Excellent Food - And an enjoyable evening - even in a time of Covid.
It was a perfect Covid-compliant experience. But cold- no heat lamps!!
Mermaid Inn is always a great spot, drinks and food are on point! My only recommendation would be to please get some sort of outdoor heaters so we can continue to enjoy dining outside, even with chillier temps :-)
Consistently good. Food is great. Happy hour is better. Pudding at the end is perfection.
Excellent Service and Atmosphere was relaxing. Highly recommend
lovely waiter, good food- but outdoor heaters are a must! pls add as soon as you can
New England clam chowder is yummy like a warm blanket on a cold rainy day.
Outstanding in every way, as always. The staff is doing a terrific job to make everyone feel safe and comfortable during the pandemic.
Delicious meal. Definitely get the calamari salad as an app to start. The fish tacos were delicious. Service was great. Lots of outdoor seating but no heat lamps:(
It was always a good time at Mermaid Inn. Thank you for your great service
I have eaten at Mermaid Inn many times over the years, including four times so far during the pandemic. The food and service is as amazing as ever. I recommend you go, treat yourself, and support this wonderful restaurant.
I know they are waiting on their heaters - it was a bit cold for mid November (33 degrees!) but such lovely people and good food.
Great service.
Great staff.
Great food.
Highly recommend!
