Island Mermaid

There is much debate over where you can get the best Rocket Fuel (a Fire Island specialty–piña colada with amaretto and a 151 rum floater), but many say it's here. You can also get fresh seafood, steaks, and some really good meatballs while dining bayside (the clam bake is tasty and a good value, but nothing to write home about).

Yummy fresh fish tacos don’t get any better when you eat them right off the boat. Service was impeachable with a very personable friendly worker. We had many drinks of the signature cocktail, rocket feel, yummy!!

We had to end the Summer here with out last Hurrah in September. It was 90 degrees. We came by boat and has appetizers, lunch and rocket fuels on the deck. It was a great way to end the summer.

We enjoyed sitting next to the water, place was nice and clean. They had ran out of the lobster roll, so we ordered Crab Salad. It had NO flavor, mussels were ok, but nothing special.

We love having dinner at the Island Mermaid. The food is delicious - especially the seafood. The setting is beautiful and is a perfect restaurant to watch the sun set. If you are looking for a delicious lunch or dinner, go the Mermaid.

Beside the main dock of Ocean Beach, where ferries periodically bump against the shore and water laps at the docks, Island Mermaid is the perfect spot to gaze out across the bay or gaze deeply into someone's eyes. This excellent establishment serves New American cuisine at lunch and dinner, additionally flavored by sunset views. Elegant outdoor seating fills up with a relaxed clientele,...
