Mermaid's Tavern In

Welcoming place and once you've finished eating there's no rush.

Great for listening to live music and hanging out with friends

I happened upon a day when the restaurant normally opens only on weekends. Unfortunately, due to work, I arrived late, around 10 PM. However, this didn't stop the place from pleasantly surprising me. With the cover charge, they served taralli, which accompanied the wait for the food. The jalapenos were excellent, just spicy enough (too spicy for the faint-hearted) to satisfy the palate of those, like me, who have a craving for those damned peppers and spicy food. The staff was courteous and tried to make you feel comfortable (perhaps due to the somewhat "mellow" evening). Unfortunately, being alone made me consider the wait a bit excessive, but I overlooked this aspect considering I was alone. The interior atmosphere could be more refined; something was missing, perhaps live music, which on other evenings (especially winter ones) better characterizes the place, which undoubtedly deserves to be sold out. I've found better-stocked places, but the star rating of a place depends on its location, so I turned a blind eye to that. The rock music is what drew me in, and for that alone, it deserves 5 stars. It's certainly not the place for a chat, but if you're here for work or just passing through, it's a good place to spend your time. Aside from the week of August 15th or events, remember that it's only open on weekends.
