Jerry and his crew at Jerry and the Mermaid absolutely knocked it out of the park today. We hosted a large dinner event on a busy summer Sunday, and from beginning to end...
, everything was handled flawlessly.
With a group our size — and a restaurant that busy — you naturally expect there might be a few bumps along the way. There weren’t. The entire evening felt organized, relaxed, and genuinely special. Jerry and his team made us feel incredibly welcome and took care of every detail without ever making it feel rushed.
The food was outstanding. Everything came out fresh, delicious, beautifully prepared, and exactly as it should. It is one thing to serve great food on a normal night; it is another thing entirely to maintain that level of quality while taking care of a large party during one of the busiest days of the summer. They did it effortlessly.
And the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, professional, and always seemed to be one step ahead of what we needed. Drinks were taken care of, courses flowed perfectly, and our guests were able to simply enjoy themselves.
Jerry, thank you to you and your entire crew for making such an important gathering feel so easy and memorable. You can tell there is a tremendous amount of pride behind what you do, and it shows in the food, the service, and the way people are treated.

reserved to the whole back room. We had a private room in the back of the restaurant that overlooked the marina. His prices are affordable, and his food was delicious and fresh.
