the bubbly mermaid oyster bar

great oysters and good service. for all of you whining about $3 oysters, its obvious you have never eaten someplace nice before. try sullivan's where they are quite a bit more, bought from the giant supplier who will remain nameless, and that place is only semi fancy. i will gladly pay $3 for a huge fresh oyster that is served to me any day! theservicewas good, the beer selection could have been a bit better. the champagne and wine selection was great. i would recommend this place to anyone wanting a good appetizer or a relaxing drink with friends. and i am in no way a hipster, hell i'm in my 40's.

cute atmosphere, terribleservice& value.... the style of this place is super cute.tee oysters i had were very good. that said, theservicewas terrible! i was super excited to check this place out after reading some of the other reviews. totally bummed with the experience :( i walked in and was immediately charmed by the decor. however, it was several minutes before my boyfriend and i so much as received a greeting (after awkwardly seating ourselves). then, we were asked by the host about drinks and were told there was no drink menu- also awkward. rather than give us something to look over, it was like a quiz gone wrong with him trying to deduce what we should have to drink...weird. we finally got the drinks covered and ordered. i had oysters and my boyfriend tried the smoked salmon caesar. my oysters were admittedly good, but his salad was not. the salmon was flavorless and slimy; he couldn't eat it. it is too bad that this place is so far from reaching its potential.
