After years of walking by the place, Angela and I finally decided to grab dinner at The Mermaid Inn. We did some research, and it turns out The Mermaid Inn scatters a bunch of discount specials across its various social media properties. On Mondays you can pop over to Mermaid's Twitter or Facebook account to pick up a 20% discount code, and if you show the waiter your check-in on Foursquare you can also snag a free side item. So with social media specials in hand we set off on our date.
Now for our order. We started with an iceburg wedge salad and chilled half lobster to share and 2 oysters each. Then for the main course we split a grilled whole fish, lobster truffle mac & cheese and fried brussel sprouts w/ bacon & almonds. It might sound like a lot of food but the portions aren't big. Also The Mermaid Inn doesn't have a dessert menu, but they do give everyone a small cup of chocolate pudding with your check.
With the exception of the free pudding at the end, the meal was delicious. I really liked everything we ate, and would likely order most of it again. It's not a cheap place to eat, but once you pile on the free side order, 20% off, and free dessert- you end up with a pretty hearty meal for an acceptable price. So if you like sea food, try The Mermaid Inn on a Monday, and don't forget to check all of The Mermaid Inn's social media hubs.
