Mermaid Inn

REVIEW

July 17, 2009


CUISINE: American (Traditional), Seafood
NEIGHBORHOOD: East Village

 

 

96 Second Ave between 5th and 6th Streets

(p) 212-674-5870

 

Only having seen the Mermaid Inn from the sidewalk, it was a delightful surprise to discover that the restaurant is comprised of four different sections, each with their own ambiance.  The front room is your typical New York restaurant, complete with a bar and floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto the outdoor sidewalk seating.  For those that want to avoid the bustle of Second Avenue, just walk past the kitchen.  You'll be transported to a restaurant reminiscent of northeastern beach towns, including a complementary outdoor garden.

 

And then of course, there's the food.  Though seafood is the specialty, the not-too-greasy fried chicken comes with a generous side of collard greens and cornbread.  Other non-seafood options are available, but it would be a shame to miss out on the grilled shrimp appetizer, lobster roll, or the evening's special.  Seafood, by nature, can be a bit pricey, but the portions are generous enough to split an app and entree between two.  

 

During the summer, it's Blue Crab Mondays-- no better way to start off the week than with a bib and a bucket-full of crabs from the Chesapeake Bay.  Another favorite for the not-so-adventurous is the salmon, cooked medium rare and served with a refreshing summer squash hash and tomato hollandaise.  Between the versatility of this restaurant's setting and the beautifully prepared, broad selection of seafood, Mermaid Inn has become one of YAH's summer favorites.
