Mermosa PDX

I love love love the fact that you can get any separate things and put them together (They have a list of sides and list of proteins). The marmosa sparkling wine is really good! Sweet but not too sweet. Everything is served beautifully. I love the ambiance, plants everywhere, open, bright. Even a DJ setting a good vibe! Can’t wait to come back for dinner! I also noticed quite a few delicious vegan options. Outdoor seating as well.

I recently discovered this new proposal in the NW and was really surprised! Not only because of the excellent music they had on a Friday afternoon (wonderful Jazz) but also because of the delicious fusion cuisine. The happy hour is very enjoyable, and we have been back twice now. The decoration of the place is fun and eclectic. The waiters and staff were very pleasant and attentive. Please go to this restaurant, it is delicious!

I made a reservation for 12 for the ladies in my family to go out for a fun brunch. Mermosa did not disappoint. The DJ set list, the service, the fantastic food and cocktails made for such an amazing experience for our family. Our server rocked it! All the dishes we ordered were really good. Our favorite dishes: cornbread, grits, deviled eggs, fried chicken and the French toast. Can’t wait for another party brunch at Mermosa.

We decided to pop in for dinner based on a recent write-up in Eater. What we didn’t expect was to see their commitment to creating community. Over the course of our meal a small gathering grew to more than 30 — all BIPOC professionals networking with each other. The owner brought us tastes of wine and an incredible sample of the creamiest grits ever. We also enjoyed talking to her husband, who helps run the show. It’s nice to see such a lovely couple cultivate this space into such a welcoming atmosphere. The food is sophisticated yet comforting. We can’t wait to try brunch.

A great spot where you feel like you might be on vacation, not in Portland. Decor is mermaid theme, with fun little details. The drinks are on the high end of the price scale, but delicious and beautiful. We had the mermaid water (mine with vodka), very tasty. Good vegan options for brunch. The fried mushrooms (their version of vegan chicken) are so delicious! I had the vegan bennie, could have been improved with the addition of a tofu scramble or vegan egg. But it was still delicious. The two others I was with ordered the french toast which they both raved about. Service was fantastic from the time we walked in until we walked out. Everyone was so nice and our server was attentive and happy to be there. Refreshing in today's restaurant scene. We have a monthly brunch and decided that this will be our new place. We look forward to returning in August.

I absolutely love this place!!! From happy hour to brunch on Sunday’s it’s absolutely perfect. It took me a long time to find a place that felt like a taste of home and an atmosphere and staff that always make me smile and feel so very welcomed. The food it AMAZING!!! Don’t even get me started on the chicken and waffles!!! As a southerner in the PNW it’s the taste of home I need. The happy hour tour is always a win and you can’t go wrong with any drink on the menu. Highly recommend!!!!

I recently celebrated my 40th at Mermosa PDX with brunch on a Saturday with my crew of eight. The whole experience was lovely - from when we arrived, to the abundant food, to the vibes, the sweet service. We showed up in full mermaid casual mode and was met with the perfect experience. Only critique would be 'More gravy' on the biscuits and gravy but I think that's just a personal motto for life. Appreciate the warm space and will be back!

Best restaurant meal we've had in a LONG time! Desiree and her team know what they're doing! We fully enjoyed buckets (3) of Okra Frites, platters (2) of Deviled Eggs, Chicken & Cornbread Waffles, Shrimp & Grits, Fried Chicken with Collard Greens and Kale Ranch Salad, and much more! This was our family Christmas dinner. 🎄 Thank you, Desiree, for your kindness, fielding phone calls from both me and my dad, bringing Legos to the table for the kiddos, and to everyone who made this a meal we will not soon forget!
