  First time to this location. Lured in by the hush-puppies, we met another couple for dinner. Great take and presentation of the classic Iceberg Wedge salad (photo included). Really liked this. Had the mussels for my entree. The meat was good, but the broth was a little lacking. Maybe it was an off night, or may be the recipe is deficient I don't know. It was a great evening, and I would go back, but I'll get something else instead!!

  I'll start with an on point waiter (I apologize for forgetting your name). Super fresh happy hour oysters and little neck clams. Perfectly charred octopus, and seared yellow fin tuna on top of a tzaziki salad (It's a Greek spot). Free rich chocolate pudding and a "fish" that reads your energy. Awesome. Not the first time, not the last time.

  Crab cakes were delicious. Waitress was excellent -very pleasant and attentive. They don't serve desserts, but they let us bring our own birthday cake and plated it at no charge.

  Disappointing performance yesterday from Mermaid. Heavy blizzard in NYC, trains a disaster and many cancelled, subways delayed. Due to slow trains, we got to Mermaid 20 minutes after our reservation. Was told they could only hold for 15 minutes so they gave away our table and sent us back out into the cold. Alternatively, we could wait 30 minutes for the next table. Thanks for being considerate and understanding IN A BLIZZARD. I get the reservation situation and am familiar with the so-called 15 minute rule but it's not like this is 11 Madison. I was surprised and disappointed that this normally pleasant place copped an attitude when we needed them most! I was even more surprised that we didn't get any priority with the next availability. It was like we were dead to them over 5 minutes IN A BLIZZARD. Next time we won't bother them with our attendance. We left and had an enjoyable meal down the street.

  Great Happy hour menu from 5pm-7pm. Wonderful, fresh oysters! I love the fish tacos and the shrimp sliders. Also, super yummy brunch on the weekends. Fast and friendly service, nice atmosphere. I recommend making a reservation, it's a popular place and it's usually packed.
