The Blue Mermaid - St Catharines, Ontario

My boyfriend and I went to the Blue Mermaid for dinner. It was great! The oyster rockefeller and steak that I had was delicious! The gentleman on the piano was lovely as well. This is a bit of a hidden gem that I feel lucky to have ... discovered! Highly recommend! Read more

Arrived on time for our reservation. Front house server mumbled something then ushered us to a corner table by the busy kitchen door when more desirable seating was available. I Paid $75 for what was supposed to be a 12 oz striploin. Looked more like a 8-10 oz. It came ... with a tiny potato cut in half and two whole baby carrots. Overpriced mediocre food. I went looking for a classic upscale steakhouse dinning experience and left disappointed . It seems that the Blue Mermaid is antiquated and due for a much needed change. Read more

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 try ... 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. Read more

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. Read more

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! Read more
