We are regulars and love this restaurant. The food is delicious, freshest oysters and clams for best price in the city. Jason and his staff are the greatest. Will be there right after Thanksgiving, only because we’re going away before.

I visited Mermaid Oyster Bar and tried their happy hour oysters, which cost $1.5 each (minimum 6 per order). They were neither the best nor the worst oysters I've had, just average but satisfied my craving.
I also ordered the baby clam chowder, but I found the portion to be extremely small, and it leaned on the salty side. Also got the calamari and the prawn sliders which were both alright. The next time I go back, I'll probably just get oysters.
On a positive note, the service was quite good and attentive, which added to the overall experience.

I love oysters and seafood and that’s the place to be especially for happy hour $1.50 a piece. We also got spinach and artichoke dip taste good very little size but guess it’s good for price just crackers they should go a little bit heavier just not enough even for that small portion. Special New England clam chowder it says min but I didn’t think it’s actually just a tablespoon. Server was very attentive and fast that’s always a plus.

Their happy hour certainly makes me happy! $1.5 per oyster $1.5 per little clam (with minimum order of six units of oyster/little clam) so I sure ate my fill. Had their octopus little plate, recommended by their bar tender. It was tender and honestly serves as a great light dinner but is totally shareable as an appetizer if you’re dining with others.
Their salmon tartar at happy hour is good but as I worked through it, I found it kind of salty… even if the bread crisps go well with it.
Service was amazing and it was the perfect place to chill and eat during happy hour. (Good for going alone or with company) I love that they give you a free small chocolate pudding at the end of the meal.
I did not order the mini clam chowder at happy hour because it was the same size if not smaller than an espresso cup.

Came for happy hour. $1.5 for each oyster and clam! Such a great deal! We did found a piece of paper in one of the oysters. Cocktails and beer are just average though. Love their birthday chocolate pudding ^

Went here for Happy Hour! Really fun place to hangout with friends! $9 wines in the city, pretty good. Love the kale Caesar salad and their mini fish tacos, delish!

Great atmosphere, excellent waitstaff, would have given 5 stars on food but the Oysters were very, very small, which was surprised since it’s advertised as an “Oyster Bar”. Overall we enjoyed our time and meal there.

Cute place for oysters and a nice happy hour. To note, all of the happy hour items are super small portions…. Delicious clam chowder in a tiny cup. It was very nice they brought out a tiny pudding cup at the end for a small dessert

This was a great spot for happy hour. They have a fantastic assortment of oysters. The shrimp silders were excellent and my favorite part of my meal. The spinach and artichoke dip was excellent. It's not over creamy and bursting with flavor. The mini fish tacos 🌮 were also excellent.

This lobster roll was fantastic! I was traveling for work, so unfortunately my husband wasn’t with me, but I’ll say that we have been influenced by Old Bay on French fries after this restaurant. Can’t wait to go back and eat oysters when I’m not pregnant anymore because those looked great too!
