Mermaid Oyster Bar

Editorial Review

Aphrodisiac spin-off of Mermaid Inn franchise beachier than the originals. Bleached Greenwich Village slip echoes the Cape, but promises shoes on all patrons, if not pants. Thinks outside the fry basket with raw bar's 16 oyster varietals, all adjectively described. Dense, chewy/creamy Wild Fire Islands, plump Fanny Bays, lettucy Hood Canals. If you like it cooked, grilled albacore sandwiches, whole roasted trout, and one of these things is not like the others chorizo tacos. Sand haters flock to sleek wraparound banquette -- all young yacht.
