I ordered the codfish which was flavorless. plus the two hostesses where both snooty and rude. this place is way overrated unfortunately. and overpriced actually.

I've been back to the Mermaid three times since my last post, and all I can say, three strikes and they're out. The lobster roll had a very strange taste to it, perhaps the mayo or the spices they put in. But Not Good. Though the roll was good and the size manageable. Fries were ordinary shoestrings, nothing special. Clam chowder had nice broth but strange crunchy bits in it, and just about no clams. Service was great, however. Bit noisy in the back room with parties and babies. But I'll go to Pearl Oyster Bar from now on for my lobster roll fix.

I had dinner here w/ my bf tonight. It was one of my favorite meals that I've had out in 2009. As always, the service was oustanding, our lobster sandwiches were perfect, and I'm a big fan of chocolate pudding.

I had a lovely evening with my family here. We all liked our food (especially the fried oysters) and had wonderful service in the cozy garden. The portions were on the small side, but other than that, it was a good experience. I would certainly go back.

A friend and I had a thoroughly enjoyable meal here, and I will certainly be going back. The lobster roll was almost as good as Pearl's, the fries superior, and the fried oysters were delectable. It's nice having such a good seafood place in the 'hood. Now, if only they would add fried Ipswich clams to the menu, my happiness would be complete. Highly recommended. But go early.

Although I recently moved to Brooklyn, the Mermaid Inn consistently (had) amazing/fresh food, nice staff, and a decent wine selection. The menu isn't terribly deep (I know it's a seafood place in NY) and most nights you will not be able to get a seat without a reservation. But, with that said, there isn't much to complain about.

Had dinner here last night and had a great experience all around. The food was terrific, especially the gazpacho, and the server was polite and attentive. The only bad thing about the Mermaid Inn is that they do not have dessert!
