| - I had never even heard about the Nauti Mermaid until a friend suggested we try it for brunch this past Saturday and I'm so glad we did! Not only was the food and atmosphere great, but our bartender, Joseph, was so friendly and fun that it made the whole experience even better.
We came at about noon and there was only one table of two already there. We pretty much took over the majority of the bar area with 7 or so of us. There are quite a few booths that seat four people, and one bigger booth, but the bar was definitely the best place for a big party. I started with a mimosa and I think I fell in love when I saw our bartender make it the same way I make mine- mostly champagne with a splash of OJ (for color). It tasted great and they were only $5, which to me is cheap as I feel like they are generally about $7 or so. My friend ordered a Bloody Mary, which she liked and it came with a fried perch!
As for food, they have quite a bit of seafood options, such as lobster Benedict, but they also have many non seafood options. I went with the beef hash that came with a side of potatoes. It was delicious. My only complaint is that I ordered my eggs over medium, which is usually a little runny, and these were more over hard. My friend got the sausage and gravy, which he loved. Another friend got the French toast with fruit (apples) on top, and another got the breakfast burrito, which was huge. We were all very happy with our choices.
When I asked for hot sauce for my meal, our bartender asked if I wanted to try the house sauce, which of course I did. It is a green sauce and is pretty spicy, but it was so good! I definitely recommend trying it instead of just frank's red hot or another.
Overall our experience here was great. Everything from the service to the food was perfect and I can't wait to go back!
