Fantastic night celebrating my daughters birthday. The ambience, food and service was excellent. Big shout out and special thanks to Gerald McQuilken who took care of us all and made everything perfect. Highly recommend.

Our previous experience (a couple of years ago) was really negative but what a turnaround!! They have now got the most professional team of people working there. We were welcomed and they were really engaging and attentive. We weren’t at all rushed. Food was lovely too and worth what we paid. We will definitely be regulars here 🥰

Had a fantastic meal at the Mermaid Kitchen and Bar in Portrush with my wife. The seafood cocktail and baked trio of scallops we had for starters were both fresh and full of flavor. The highlight though was the Mermaid sharing sirloin for two, cooked to perfection and paired with delicious Patata Bravas. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and really made the evening even more enjoyable. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and service were spot on. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you're in the area!

I was glad to see that Mermaid has finally improved a lot, it used to be great , but had a lot of problems in recent years. The food was really great quality , a little more quantity on a stock fish dish would have meant that i did not need the £6 extra side of chips. The prices are not low, so making us need the extra chips just brought the price up and was what clinch the 4 and not a 5.... just a bit too pricy overall, but not totally ridiculous. Service was good , and given what it was like for the past few years , that was a surprise. So overall , i am happy to say I will be back. My only advice would be to watch those prices. I think most people would think they are on the high side. £38 pounds for a fish dish with chips is not quite what i had expected. It wont be an every fortnight visit at those prices....

Went here a few nights ago with some friends (7 people total). Since it was a Sunday we had the option to order the Sunday roasts which we had heard good reviews about. We ordered a starter to share which was just ok. After a bit of a wait 5 dinners were brought to the table. The waitresses didn’t know how each one was cooked so we had to guess. Of those who received their dinner one came with a hair included. All were cold, the gravy was literally a couple of tablespoons each and was also cold. Also the dinners were missing some of the items that were listed on the menu. We are assuming they had run out of some of the veg and Yorkshire puddings, so I guess they assumed we would make do! While we complained to the manager (in a reasonable manager) we were told not to shout at him, he left the table without resolving any of the concerns. About 10 mins after 5 dinners coming to the table we were still missing 2 dinners. What a let down, we ended up paying for the starter and leaving to find dinner elsewhere.

Food was decent but when you have to wait nearly 2 hours between ordering and eating, it does ruin the experience. The servers were friendly and clearly working hard, but our whole group was absolutely starving by the time the food finally came, and we weren't the only ones; all the surrounding tables appeared to recieve the same treatment. Think we will take the same approach to returning as the kitchen took to our food; it'll take an extremely long time and a reminder or two before we think about appearing at all.

Pre Covid when Jennie and latterly Edel looked after this beautiful restaurant, we were there at least twice a month - yes the odd service issue but in the main reliable. Apres Covid like all other restaurants they struggled to get staff and after a disastrous meal last Easter we filed this restaurant under ‘E’ for experience and decided not to return. However we heard that things were better and returned on Friday night- beautiful meal and great service - to the extent we also booked for Saturday night - we do love r food!! To b honest it was hard to believe we were in the same restaurant! My chicken tasted sour and I realised it was rancid - clearly well past its sell by date🙈 I sent it back and didn’t get as much as an apology! I spoke to the manager afterwards and he wasn’t even in the least concerned- even encouraged me to post a negative review! So whilst I would love to see the energy and excellence that once went into the Ramore corner - u need to get your act together and start caring about customers again - I would add that our meal in Amici tonight was superb!❤️

Edel is always on point and as usual the food and atmosphere was brilliant. A great choice of restaurants in the one building.

Sunday lunch with my husband and it was our first time at the mermaid. My first impression was that the place did not feel overly clean however it’s a heavily trafficked restaurant so could be expected on a busy Sunday. The ladies toilets were not...

On arrival room wasn't ready.They were to leave a prepaid treat costing £15 a piece of dried chocolate cake.It was the dearest sweet I ever bought.When we arrived in room. As we looked out of our window in both window sills were dead flies and coffee table was filthy. Dressing table could have written your name on it . Toilet lid cracked. Empty shower gel jar left in shower. General room felt dirty. But room was spacious. The last time we stayed here we were in a smaller room but was clean. We told a member of staff and they did go up and cleaned it.To make our experience worse they told on arrival that the pool was closed too health and safety.

Back for the annual visit, had the cod cheeks followed by monkfish - very delicious. This place keeps delivering and it's good to see a consistently high standard. A sophisticated but relaxed atmosphere.
