★ 5This restaurant was absolutely amazing! It has such a cozy feel with a really comfortable and welcoming ambiance. The meals we ordered were simply delicious and I honestly cannot recommend this place enough.
There’s a fantastic mix of dishes including chowders, seafood curries, Italian options, and classic American meals. The portion sizes were perfect and the flavours were incredible. I highly recommend the spaghetti bolognaise, shrimp curry, crab chowder, and the mango dessert. The spaghetti tasted so authentic and full of flavour.
If you’re in San Francisco, definitely make time to visit the Blue Mermaid! -

★ 4the small plates/apps were phenomenal! my crab cake was probably the best bite of the night. we were sadly disappointed with the quality of our mains (despite looking pretty), however upon complaining, they didn’t charge us for them and they covered a replacement dish on top of that—phenomenal customer service. all of the waitstaff was also very kind. margs were strong, but great!

★ 4We picked Blue Mermaid for dinner. The space is stylish, the menu looked great, and the food delivered everything we ordered was tasty and we left happy on that front. I’m taking off one star for the service, though. Even with the restaurant nearly empty, things were slow and not very friendly.
It was a chilly evening, so we asked for a patio heater. The first one wouldn’t ignite; they tried a second — also a no-go. We then asked about the nearby fire pit. They got it lit, but it faded out after a minute, like the propane tank had run out. Meanwhile we were still cold, and no one offered to move us closer to the only working fire pit, even though there were open tables right by it. Little details didn’t help either utensils were dropped in the middle of the table instead of being set individually.
Overall, I’d still recommend Blue Mermaid for the food and atmosphere, but don’t come expecting attentive service on a cold night. -

★ 5Excellent food and upscale interior. The calamari was soft and not too chewy on the inside with a nice crisp on the outside. The fish and chips tasted quite fresh as well.
Only complaint is that the menu posted outside (“dinner menu”) was not the menu given to us for dinner. It was missing seared scallops which I was looking forward to. When I asked the waiter, they said only the items on the provided menu were available. Fortunately, the items we ended up getting were delicious. -

★ 5We had a wonderful experience at The Blue Mermaid at the Argonaut Hotel, and Aaron made it even better! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and gave us great suggestions on things to see and do around the bay, which we really appreciated.
Breakfast was delicious, and we also had their clam chowder as a snack — absolutely amazing! And let me just say, their espresso martinis are outstanding… definitely a must-try!
Aaron provided excellent service, was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. If you’re visiting the Argonaut or Pier 39 area, don’t miss The Blue Mermaid — and ask for Aaron!
