Oyster bar offering happy hour specials, cioppino, and sea bass
"I attended the long-anticipated reopening of Mermaid Innis, an oyster bar from Danny Abrams and Cindy Smith, which expands their local-favorite oyster-bar roster uptown." - Emma Orlow
"If you've been going to The Mermaid Inn for oysters for the past, oh two decades or so, good news. They're finally back on the Upper West Side, with a fourth location for all of your raw bar needs. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"After a year-long delay caused by a malfunctioning sprinkler, the long-anticipated reopening of Mermaid Inn at 335 Columbus Avenue (at West 76th Street) has arrived this week from Danny Abrams and Cindy Smith, the duo behind three other local oyster bars. The uptown spot runs a happy hour from 4:30 to 6 p.m. with oysters and Littlenecks at $1.75 apiece (minimum six), mini tacos and clam chowder at $3.50 each, and items like spinach and artichoke dip ($10) and calamari ($12). I expect starters such as Parker House rolls, wedge salad, lobster knuckles escargot-style with herb butter on crusty bread ($20), and smoked trout dip, and mains including cioppino ($32), a burger ($26), steak au poivre ($42), and sea bass with lemon caper butter ($34)." - Melissa McCart
"I report that the popular seafood chain the Mermaid Inn, which has outposts in Chelsea, Greenwich Village, and Times Square and operated on the Upper West Side at 570 Amsterdam Avenue until it closed late last year amid uncertainty about the landlord’s plans, will return to the Upper West Side later this year at a new location, 335 Columbus Avenue at West 76th Street." - Luke Fortney
"After 15 years on the Upper West Side, I learned the Mermaid Inn is shutting down its location on October 16; the owners say they “mutually agreed” to part ways with the building’s new landlord and indicate the seafood hangout may relocate to another spot in the same neighborhood, according to the New York Post." - Erika Adams
