Food is good, not great. The grilled seafood with choice of sauce is always a good way to go. Avoid the queso dip, it's super oily.

Love the Blue Mermaid. The food is excellent. The atmosphere is decent. The margaritas are great!

Every time I have been to the Blue Mermaid the food has been excellent. Cooked to perfection, very tasty, and very creative. I don't know what problems other reviewers have had, I can't even imagine.
And if you want to try them out for a bargain, but the Entertainment Book and get a BOGO free coupon.
And definitely try a dessert! The tropical tiramisu is wonderful!

We gave this restaurant a shot despite its reviews, we believe any great restaurant can have a bad day and shouldn't be judged on one experience. We made the trek to Portsmouth without disappointment. The food, drink and service were great. I had the short ribs, the best thing I think I have ever put in my mouth. My wife had the plaintain ...

By far one of the worst places I have been in a very long time. The food was awful and the service was worse than the food. Four of us went on a Saturday for lunch...and it was not busy. I mean there were 6 tables besides our table. There were 2 waitstaff and we still had to wait for a very long time for everything. I know Rachael Ray really ...

Look, this resturaunt is not good. At all. Yes, I understand that Rachael Ray visited it, and it did make it into a Frommer's guide, but I stand firm in my opinion. I believe it would be a great place to meet and drink with friends however, the food is terrible. The prices won't break your wallet. The food will leave you wishing you had gone to that sushi resturaunt down the street though.
