The Mermaid Inn in Chelsea is known for its seafood dishes and service. The menu features favorites such as fresh oysters, lobster roll, linguine and clams in a lemon sauce, and mini mermaid tacos. Customers enjoy the great ambience, good cocktails, and the friendly, professional staff. The happy hour offers a menu for food and drinks at reasonable prices, and seafood selection is highly appreciated. Noteworthy dishes include the Arctic char, octopus salad, and lobster escargot. The restaurant is clean and has a nautical motif, providing a dining experience with seafood and attentive service. Many guests praise the quality of the food, especially the fish and shared appetizers, though some have noticed food quality going down and dishes being too spicy, like the smoked fish platter. Some customers wish certain dishes, like mushroom risotto, would return to the menu. The staff often go above and beyond, offering nice surprises for special occasions. The restaurant is a popular choice for celebrations and special dinners. However, the menu is heavily seafood-focused, which might not suit everyone, especially those with allergies or preferences against seafood. The kitchen closing at 2:30 is noted, and occasional service issues, like food arriving before appetizers or mistakes in orders, have been experienced but do not detract from the overall positive experience.
