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 noise level was unbearable. I loved the old UWS location and this was my first time at the Times Square location. I really enjoy the food, the service is great, but something has to be done about the noise absorption. I couldn’t hear my friends. It was awful.

    Food and service were very good. But they asked us to leave after we were done eating because they wanted the table. You don’t do that. Totally unacceptable.

    3 out of 4 lunches ordered were disappointing. I've been to the Mermaid Inn Chelsea previously and loved everything about it. Times Square one misses the mark in my opinion. Surly waitress and sub-par food for most of us. We'll not be back.
