What Betsy Foster likes about Blue Mermaid:
My family and I had an amazing New Year's Eve dinner at this restaurant. From the moment we sat down, our server engaged us in friendly conversation and explained the specials on the menu for the evening.

The food was good, but the portions are too limited compared to their price.

We were visiting from LA over Memorial Day weekend. Our server Josh and the entire staff were so kind and welcoming.

Convenient to Fisherman’s wharf but far enough away to not be crowded. Not an extensive menu but what they did was well done. The burgers are great!

Service was slow and food was a bit over priced. Great ambiance for a date though. I would come back again.

Situated next to the Argonaut hotel, this restaurant is connected to the hotel if you are a guest. Be sure to sample the clam chowder.
