The Mermaid and The Oyster

Finally went here after many years. What time I have wasted sitting around. Thursdays are half price oysters, and the food is so fresh you got to taste it to believe it. Yet another jewel to the amazing for served on Kerr Street

I had a craving for a good clam chowder, and saw reviews for this place. From Brampton it’s a 35 min drive on Sunday afternoon but it in happy to say it was worth it. I haven’t had a clam chowder this good since I was on the west coast in Seattle at Pike Place Market. Wife had the lobster bisque which she was good, and had nice pieces of lobster in it. We shared the lobster role which was light and fresh. Service was very friendly and prompt. The place is quite small, and the table we sat at was tight (reason for not 5 stars). I’m sure at busier times you’d have to get take out. We’ll be back for sure.

Popped in here with my gang on our search to find the best lobster roll. Stepping into the place, you'll immediately notice the really cozy ambiance, nautical decor, and friendly staff. After taking a look at the menu, we were a little surprised at how steep the price was. ($25 for lunch)However, as soon as we tasted the food, it all made sense. The fries were steaming hot and fresh, and seasoned deliciously. And the lobster roll was absolutely delicious. It was light, fresh, and surpisingly refreshing, not oversaturated with a ton of mayo etc. The actual roll itself was delicious, fluffy and toasted perfectly. Overall, I'd definitely recommend the place, if you're looking to treat yourself to some fresh and delicious seafood.
