    My date's salmon was overcooked. My lobster roll was small.
    The Mermaid Oyster BarResponded 3 days ago
    Hi Bill, We are certainly disappointed to hear that was your experience as that is certainly not the experience we aspire to provide. If you would like to send me your personal details privately, we would be happy to make sure that if you decide to give us another chance we will go above and beyond to make sure your experience was not repeated.

    Always a wonderful experience. The food, the staff, are amazing. We do go for happy hour because not only the best oysters and clams in the city but price perfect. But the salads, calamari and entrees are great also. My favorite is the whole grilled branzino, tasty and perfect. Jason is the greatest host.
