I went to the restaurant for lunch, but the bar area was dirty and dominated by a very loud, profane man who was encouraged by the owner and staff. We quickly f...

This is the only legitimate pub on St. Mary's, but 18 pounds for two medium glasses of house red wine? Really! The Sunday lunch was great, but we'll definitely...

The Mermaid, a quaint pub, has drawn in patrons with its charming setting and varied menu. However, recent visits reveal a concerning decline in food quality and hygiene. Diners have reported rubbery scallops and dry burgers, while cleanliness issues, particularly a lack of soap in restrooms, raised eyebrows. Service experiences vary greatly, with some noting excellent staff, while others highlight a rude manager. Despite some positive feedback on the high-quality dishes and views, many patrons leave disappointed, questioning the overall value and consistency of this once-beloved establishment. A revisit may require caution for a satisfactory experience.
