Best WLM Reviews
Miss the old Portsmouth location, but Blue Mermaid still has some of the most unique dishes in the area. The restaurant seemed empty for a Saturday and not as comforting as the old location. However, the service was great - our waiter made us feel right at home.
Our favorite dish, the paella, no longer exists. The lobster quesadilla is the last man standing and still hits the spot! Try it as an appetizer as the portion is quite large. The exotic-themed menu has mouth-tingling spices throughout most of its dishes. Their homemade fire-roasted salsa and jalapeno pesto sauces were excellent; and highlighted their respective dishes. I will say that the stars of the show are their cocktail menu and desserts. Be sure to try their Key Lime Pie - it's awesome.
Besides having a large beautiful open space with nice bathrooms and a big bar things didn’t go well. We arrived and were greeted warmly but the waitress didn’t communicate well about anything leading to my friend and I leaving disappointed after she didn’t ask about salt or no to the margarita. Then forgetting to put in our appetizer order. When the entrees arrived they were lukewarm and the salad didn’t have dressing and the Rasta pasta was bland even though it was supposed to be spicy ????️. I think they need to do some training for both kitchen and waitstaff before I would go back or recommend anyone to try this place.
My recent dining experience at Blue Mermaid left me thoroughly impressed on all counts. From the delectable food and refreshing drinks to the impeccable service and spacious ambiance, this establishment has firmly secured its place as a go-to spot for memorable gatherings.
Let's start with the star of the show: the food and drinks. Whether indulging in savory entrees, tantalizing appetizers, or decadent desserts, every bite was a delightful symphony of taste. The drinks menu was equally impressive, offering a diverse selection of libations to suit every palate and preference.
The staff were attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure a seamless dining experience. From recommendations on menu items to prompt refills of drinks, their professionalism and warmth added to the overall enjoyment of the meal.
One of the standout of this establishment is its spacious layout, making it the perfect venue for large parties and gatherings. Whether celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a night out with friends and family, there's ample room to accommodate everyone comfortably. Additionally, the plentiful parking alleviates any worries about finding a spot, making the dining experience hassle-free from start to finish.
In conclusion, if you're in search of a culinary gem that ticks all the boxes, look no further than Blue Mermaid. With its delicious food and drinks, impeccable service, spacious ambiance, and plentiful parking, it's a surefire recipe for a memorable dining experience. Whether dining with a group or flying solo, Blue Mermaid is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.
Four of us had lunch. Parking is easy. We were seated immediately. Menus selection came across as more limited than I was expecting. Service was ok. Portions are modest. They are trying to be fresh and hip but not yet there. Live music during our visit was poor and too loud. A better menu and improving food quality would make this better.
Very good food and excellent service! My friend and I both ordered the jerk shrimp tacos, and we shared the chips and salsa. I really enjoyed the magazine slaw on the tacos, but my only wish was that the jerk seasoning on the shrimp was more aggressive. It was definitely underseasoned; barely a whisper of jerk seasoning. Other than that everything was great! We especially enjoyed the adult beverages (very creative mixology) and the yummy key lime pie. I am a local, so I will definitely be back again!
Excellent food and drink, with great service. We came on a monday at 2:30, it was happy hour! Yay 6$ drinks, and 15% off apps. Painkiller and a sangria, both were excellent. For mains we got the salmon club wrap & Guava braised short rib poutine. Wow, both were so good! The fries (upcharge with the wrap) are so crispy yet soft on the inside, the salmon was fresh and the char on the wrap was perfect. The poutine was so good! Yum. Highly recommend!
Recently got takeout from Blue Mermaid, and it was great! Thank you for the sauce recommendation - the ghost pepper flavor this month is wonderfully spicy yet balanced.
Thank you for always being a good choice for us on the nights we don't want to cook.
Found this place recently through a friend. Love the poutine fries, they are fabulous. A great place to get together with a few friends. The bread pudding with a twist was a nice change. The Nashville Hot sandwich had a good amount of heat and the drinks were good. Staff is great and friendly. Will definitely be back soon.
