Mermaids Seafood & Grill

This casual bar and eatery specializes in seafood. The decor is sea-themed: blue and green moldings set off bluer walls adorned with portraits of mermaids by local artist Laura Caron. Executive chef Salvador Navarro takes that theme and runs with it, whipping up shrimp jambalaya to fish 'n' chips, blackened catfish, grilled halibut, Crab Louis, and a full array of surf-and-turf entrees. The fusion enters with such American comfort food favorites as biscuits and gravy, an array of burgers and more. Local bands play cover tunes Friday and Saturday nights and karaoke is scheduled regularly.
