    I brought my husband to Blue Mermaid for his birthday. I did not realize that my reservation was also during the Happy Hour time, but the restaurant, which we love and have frequented (including for Christmas 2022) was still quiet before the beginning of a big NFL game (it is January 2025). Great server, friendly staff, and lots of good options for fish nibbles. The restaurant has tables and booths, and we had a quiet booth. My husband loves Fish & Chips, and Blue Mermaid has a great crispy coat on their version of the dish, and brought out some malt vinegar for the chips. He tried a Lagunitas beer I had not seen on many menus and Blue Mermaid has a good selection of Mocktails for the designated driver or non-alcohol drinkers in your party. The restaurant is in a beautiful hotel called "The Argonaut" in SF's Fisherman's Wharf, close to the Aquatic Park, and we took a walk in the area both before and after dinner. We are local to the SF Bay Area so I hope to come back to Blue Mermaid, maybe as part of a "staycation" at the Argonaut and try their breakfast offerings. Or come back for one of the weekend brunches. Great local choice.
