The Mermaid Inn

Editorial Review

Uptown branch office of EV fan fave. Seafood shack via Restoration Hardware. Noisy Van Halen and B.T.O. soundtrack for youngish Westsiders. Whitewashed wood ceiling, old nautical maps, garage doors that open to Amsterdam Ave. Lobster sandwich on brioche, freshest seafood, spicy lentils and broccoli rabe on the side. Curl of fortune-telling fish at meal’s end will let you know if those Bluepoint oysters were enough to get you laid.
