The Mermaid Inn

We went for takeout, which is delicious but a PITA. You have to go in person, order and pay, then wait for the food. Saw many people dining outside in coats and hats and they looked happy. Yes, heaters overhead but don't expect toasty. Takeout food freshly prepared was worth the wait, the freezing walk and the price.

A mainstay restaurant on the UWS, the best and one of the only really good seafood restaurants here -- one other is Crave Fish Bar -- where the seafood is impeccably prepared and efficiently served. There's always one meat option available; the only time I've ever tried that it was a flatiron steak that remains the best I've ever had. There's no dessert menu but everyone gets an espresso cup of chocolate pudding to end the visit.

One of thee restaurants hands down!!! The Service was fast and friendly. The ambience was stunning and the food, the food was incredible! I went to happy hour with a friend and we ordered half the menu and drinks. It's fancy but casual during happy hour is fine. I got a little too dressed up. Try everything!!!!

They have a very nice dishes you would definitely love! Foods and drinks are delicious and the price are reasonable. I love the service they provide to the customers and staffs are very friendly and accommodating. They are super attentive when the customers have something to ask or they want something (I just observed it when I visited here). The place is nice, and I will definitely come back here with my friends or family.

People Of Color aka Black Folks beware. The food is absolutely amazing especially lobster roll, oysters & happy hour drinks. This location seems to have a different level of service for Black customers. I have enjoyed food at this location 4 times & only had one server Dylan T that gave us the same level service as all the non people of color. The make host is absolutely the worst ; the older woman does ten times better than the younger male host at making sure everyone is given the same level of service. The bust boys always give us more respect & exemplary service; compared to the servers. This location has to improve on giving all customers the same level of service. If you tell five tables the type of oysters you’re serving then you tell all tables. If you ask three tables if they would like to order anything else before the end of happy hour then you ask all tables. During the present times this is beyond unacceptable & it didn’t just happen once it happened 3 times. I only come for the food...if it wasn’t for the amazing food I would never come back ; hints the 3 stars.
