| - I really enjoyed the Nauti Mermaid. I had just moved to cleveland and was looking for some great seafood and drinks after moving in, and I was very pleasantly surprised. The place is deceptively large. From the outside, it looks like a small bar/restaurant, but as you walk through, there is plenty of seating and space. I liked the atmosphere, as it was casual and relaxed. The noise level can get a bit high, but I don't mind a louder place when it's a fir day night and busy.
Now, for the food. I got the oysters and crab cake sandwich. Both were outstanding. If you are going to serve oysters, they have to be done right, and the Nauti Mermaid met all of my expectations. The crab cake sandwich was also good. Not the best I've had by any means, but for the price, it was an excellent choice. Clearly, they know how to do seafood, and with a name like theirs, they have to.
The reason I give this a four star review is overall, I was very happy with my meal and the atmosphere of the restaurant. However, the crab cake wasn't anything to write home about and the noise level can definitely be a bit too much for most crowds. The service was also very slow. I know it was a busy Friday, but getting a bottled beer shouldn't take 25 minutes!!
