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.

    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

    Went for Happy Hour, while we didn’t feel rushed necessarily it was clear the happy hour bites were prepped and ready to go because everything was delivered so quickly, the meal felt very very quick.

    The food was amazing. We came with our two younger kids and they were treated so well by the staff. We can’t wait come back, especially for the clam chowder. I’ve had it all the way up and down the Northeaster coastline and it might be my new number one!
