Blue Mermaid Seafood & Steak House

Had an amazing dinner! Shout out to the amazing experienced staff. They were all dressed in suits and were long time employees. One gentleman said he had been there for 49 years and made us a Caesar salad right at our table including fresh made salad dressing. Sam was our main waiter and was great with a great personality. They were all very attentive and made sure we were well looked after.

Lovely restaurant and attentive staff which is to be expected for the price. Had a great evening with wonderful friends. We enjoyed the grilled calamari which was cooked perfectly (not overdone or chewy) the cesar salad and chateaubriand steak which was very tender.

Extraordinary! This place has been on my bucket list for about 40 years, but I heard it was expensive. It was worth every penny! EVERYTHING was cooked to perfection, the Cuban lobster was SO tender, the beef perfect, the fresh vegetables awesome... I couldn't rave more. The room had a romantic, elegant ship theme complete with brass portals. The background music and murmer of other guests simply made an ordinary dinner into an intimate occation. They even knew how to make the consummate chocolate martini! The exceptional SERVICE made us feel like royalty. The waiter laid out the table with rare meticulous care and wisked away the plates like the wind replacing them with a palate of pleasure. Many times over it was recommended to me to be the best place for the most special of occasions. Well, life is short, every day alive is special. Highly recommended, you should savor the distinctive quality of the Blue Mermaid Seafood & Steak House.

This place has a Nice look but the food is disgusting. I came for a date and had surf and turf. The steak was the blandest piece of meat I have ever tasted, the lobster was gross without an ounce of freshness. It was obviously frozen and the entire time I was daydreaming about red lobster Ironically. I ordered a Margarita assuming it was a high end fancy restaurant and obviously would serve a classic Margarita. WRONG. The drink was the color of bright green lime kool-aid. This "fancy restaurant" served margarita mix as a margarita, so I instead got white wine (also gross but drinkable if you pinch your nose). The chocolate mousse cake was like week old refrigerated discount walmart cake, was not moussey at all. So disappointed. Our entree took at leas 35-40 minutes to come out, we were starving not trying to fill up on the onion shlop they serve us and the bread. And then to top it off at the end of the meal I was offered a bottle by our secondary waiter, Not our primary waiter the more season gentleman (he was a gem and totally innocent) the second younger bald waiter offered to get me a bottle to take out my large amount of wine I had not yet drank...which I thought was fine since many restaurants will give you the wine bottle and let you cork it and take it out the restaurant ( this is what I assume he meant). WRONG!!! all of my assumptions were wrong at this place. DO NOT BE LIKE ME!! AVOID THIS PLACE IF YOU LIKE FLAVOUR FOOD. So back to the bald waiter offering a bottle for me to transport my wine from the restaurant, naturally i'm thinking he is about to bring me a wine bottle since i got a half liter. He brought a crumpled up empty rinsed out plastic water bottle.🤢... And then when he sense my skepticism he assured me it was a clean bottle that he just dumped out, so i reluctantly agreed at which point he turned to my date who had already settled the bill and said "good luck with that". This place is disgusting. I could have said A LOTTTTTT more at the time but I am only comfortable sending 1 item back per sitting if i go out and don't like something. more than that i feel like i'm being difficult even though people have the right to like the food they buy, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS HIGHER PRICED. Anyway i will never be back the short bald waiter has no idea how to wait on customers. the only thing that was good was the free garlic bread . never again

Another wonderful dining experience here at the Blue Mermaid. The whole staff was warm and welcoming and the food was outstanding. Our waiter Gus was nothing less than spectacular in every way. Please trust me you won’t be disappointed.

I went to the Blue Mermaid for the first time. Being a resident of Niagara, I always heard great things about it. I would have to say that my experience was to the contrary. The steak my husband ordered was thin, overcooked, and not the prime rib the waiter tried to convince him it was. The cost of the steak was $75.00. I had the chicken. The gravy was no better than a canned, thick, and salty chicken gravy. This dish was close to $40. The service was disappointing as well. We had a waiter who was rude, pushy, and interrupted our party on several occasions. We felt pressured to hurry our dinner, and felt as if we didn’t belong there. I would have to say, I would rather a winery experience, as the food is better-priced, of higher quality, and much better service. I will never recommend the Blue Mermaid to anyone wishing to have an exceptional experience.

Great, local white table cloth steakhouse in St. Catharines. Personally preferred the laid-back lounge, but apparently that's been closed. Nevertheless, they've brought the piano upstairs to create a cozier atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our appetizers and mains; however would have preferred the gravy on the side. Otherwise, another delightful evening at Blue Mermaid.

Wow! Best meal, service and atmosphere I have ever experienced in the Niagara Region. They treat you like royalty no matter who you are. The food was out of this world and I just loved the restaurant itself. Outside isn't much to look at but once inside, just wow. First class. Can't wait for next years birthday!
