Very nice place to get oysters and other seafood. Daily happy hour for oysters and drinks - definitely worth a visit!

Fresh oysters, happy hour from 4 to 5: 30 with great deals, great service! Very good quality!

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.

We had a party of 8 and they handled us extremely well! The food was good, our service was great! They kept the drinks coming. The fish and chips were fantastic… a cool place

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.

The service was phenomenal, if I could give that category a 6/5 I would. They were very friendly and catered to our dietary restrictions.
The oysters and crab cake were very fresh and delicious. The dill flavour was something else.
The lobster roll on the other hand - and the only reason why I’m not making this a 5 star review- was but not great, the portion of lobster was minimal, and the bread it was on was dry. The fries were too crunchy and didn’t seem fresh.
Otherwise it was a descent meal, with great service.

This place is all it is hyped up to be. The food was delicious and fresh. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was incredible. I will be back with more friends.

Guys, serving a Clam chowder in a cup size of two thimbles is not funny, it looks mocking and pathetic. And don't shame Manhattan with the size of such oysters. The oysters of this size shouldn't be sold.

Came into the restaurant for a quick drink and to share a few small plates with a friend. Roberto and his team were the best! They quickly clears a spot at the bar for us. Recommend a cocktail and select four dishes. Quick, detail, efficient service and food was delicious.

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

The server was a bit obnoxious. Ambiance was beautiful. Don’t get the big oyster. They’re horrible. Didn’t try anything else

If you are looking for fresh sea food, friendly service, and delicious drinks; this is the spot for you. Whether you down 70 oysters in the search for Davy Jones locker or meet your coworkers for a happy hour, you can’t go wrong at Mermaid Oyster Bar.

Conveniently located in Soho and also close to Hudson Square. Good atmosphere and vibe. We ordered 3 dozens oysters, 4 shrimp sliders, 2 fish tacos, spinach and artichoke dip, along with 2 cocktails and 2 glasses of wines. Everything was great. The oysters were very fresh, sliders and dip were delicious. Fish tacos slightly plain, but not bad either. Service was great. Last but not least, the happy hour pricing was great!

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!

Food was ok but service was awful. Hostess was impolite and most orders had to be repeated twice. Restaurant was half full.
