"Like being in Nantucket," these "neighborly" seafooders provide "well-seasoned" catch (including a "lovely" lobster roll) in funky nautical settings; "jolly" vibes, "good-humored" service and "bargain" oysters at the "happy hour-and-a-half" are further reasons it's often "packed to the gills."

 

"The Mermaid Inn is a cozy seafood restaurant. Came for dinner and tried the fish tacos, lobster roll, and trout. My favorite turned out to be trout! The fish was cooked perfectly...Service was outstanding. They even offered complimentary chocolate mousse dessert at the end of the meal - nice touch. They also gave every guest a fortune telling fish - very cute. Overall it's a great dining experience at Mermaid. Reservation recommended as this place gets crowded. I look forward to returning to this restaurant!"

 

"A must order is their lobster truffle mac n cheese (it's hidden under the sides section of their menu)."
