Had an amazing dinner! Shout out to the amazing experienced staff. They were all dressed in suits and were long time employees. One gentleman said he had been there for 49 years and made us a Caesar salad right at our table including fresh made salad dressing. Sam was our main waiter and was great with a great personality. They were all very attentive and made sure we were well looked after.

Extraordinary! This place has been on my bucket list for about 40 years, but I heard it was expensive. It was worth every penny! EVERYTHING was cooked to perfection, the Cuban lobster was SO tender, the beef perfect, the fresh vegetables awesome... I couldn't rave more. The room had a romantic, elegant ship theme complete with brass portals. The background music and murmer of other guests simply made an ordinary dinner into an intimate occation. They even knew how to make the consummate chocolate martini! The exceptional SERVICE made us feel like royalty. The waiter laid out the table with rare meticulous care and wisked away the plates like the wind replacing them with a palate of pleasure. Many times over it was recommended to me to be the best place for the most special of occasions. Well, life is short, every day alive is special. Highly recommended, you should savor the distinctive quality of the Blue Mermaid Seafood & Steak House.

Wow! Best meal, service and atmosphere I have ever experienced in the Niagara Region. They treat you like royalty no matter who you are. The food was out of this world and I just loved the restaurant itself. Outside isn't much to look at but once inside, just wow. First class. Can't wait for next years birthday!

In an age of ever-changing food fads and restaurants coming and going, this gem has stood the test of time and is the best steakhouse in St. Catharines. We visited recently for dinner and immediately we could feel the history and charm, especially after being served by Nick the owner who has been there for 49 years. The menu and service s proudly old-school - the most delicious Cesar salad made table-side, delicious garlic toast and pickled accoutrements, quality steaks, baked Alaska, reasonable wine menu and delicious cocktails. The crowd was noticeably an older crowd - those who've come for years and years - and the vibe was warm and bustling. We are looking forward to returning to try more of the seafood next time!

Another wonderful dining experience here at the Blue Mermaid. The whole staff was warm and welcoming and the food was outstanding. Our waiter Gus was nothing less than spectacular in every way. Please trust me you won’t be disappointed.
