About this restaurant

  • Great for happy hour
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
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 food was crazy good, and they were so kind in taking care of my food allergies. Melvin, our server, was top notch. He was kind, attentive and helpful. Thank you Melvin for creating an experience that was impeccable!

    Service was slow,, wrong orders were delivered, wait time was long. They also stop serving happy hour appetizers at 5:30, which are really the only shareable appetizers on the menu

    We always sit at table 65 which is in the back and quieter than the front especially during happy hour. John was a great waiter. He was attentive and gave us perfect description of the dishes and wine.

    We had dinner before a Town Hall concert a few doors away. We were greeted warmly and seated right away. The server was friendly and efficient. The oysters, cod, and lobster roll were excellent. It was a little noisy.

    We love visiting the Mermaid oyster bar. The food is great. Our personal favorite is the Yellow Fin seared Tuna. The service is always good and it’s one of our favorite restaurants to visit when in NYC
