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.

    Our waitress Rebecca was wonderful, she was attentive to our needs but not hanging over us. We all ordered the fried chicken and it was probably the best fried chicken i have ever had. Only complaint was we couldn’t bring the doggy bag of leftovers into the theater. Hopefully a homeless person is enjoying this fine meal.

    Great for a business lunch in Midtown. Something for everyone on the menu, and plenty of items to share. We also love happy hour here.

    Was confusing the offer for the happy hour which at the end did not include 2x1 as usual.

    Food was better than service on a Sat night. It’s tough to get a good meal before a show in/near Times Square. This got it done. I would try it again. I bet a weekday is a better experience.
