People around town have been raving about it already. Our server was very gentlemanly and professional. He was very prompt and attentive. The flavors and complexity of all the dishes show that they want to be known for high quality fresh flavors. Their salsa is amazing, not your typical tomato sauce with little add ins. You can tell they make it daily and although tomato is part of the salsa it is definitely not the tomato forward ingredient. In my opinion, hands down the best Mexican in the area. You can tell they take pride in what is going in front of you. We enjoyed Queso, ceviche, seafood tacos, with shrimp, the Charro burrito, churros. We also enjoyed a espresso, Mexicana cocktail, a Charro margarita, a mimosa strawberry flavored margarita and the Jamaican margarita. I would easily give this a 10 out of 5.

4 of us had brunch here this morning and were seated along the wall in a booth which was actually a…read moresuper cozy bench (with pillows!) across from two comfy chairs. The hostess brought out a large mason jar of ice water and poured it into these cute little mason jars already on the table (ya know a millennial girl lives her little jars!). Waiter was a delight and had us laughing the whole time. We had coffee, tea, two micheladas and a quite substantial and incredibly delicious pineapple mimosa. They just switched to a new menu so I can't remember the names of everything we ate but it was SO GOOD. I think my husband had island hash with eggs, my dad had frijoles, I had rice and bean tostadas and my mom had a delicious apple cinnamon French toast with bacon and potatoes. Everything was perfectly portioned and really tasty. Such a nice experience! We will definitely be back. Worth the hour drive from both parties for a "meet in the middle" brunch date!

Stumbling onto authentic Caribbean cuisine in coastal Maine wasn't exactly on my Bingo card, but it turned out to be a very welcome surprise. The restaurant is very spacious with a big bar, dark wood exposed ceiling beams, and blue and green accented décor. Their menu is multi-cultural with Asian, Mexican, Burgers and Jamaican influences. Our lunch choices were a cup of Lobster and roasted Corn Chowder ($13) for my wife and a Bowl of Ital Stew ($14) for me. I'm a fan of Jamaican food, and although I've often seen Ital Stew on Jamaican menus, I never tried it and really had no idea what it was. The Blue Mermaid's menu described it as "Lemongrass coconut broth, root vegetables, spinach, black beans, and chickpeas". So that was enough for me to order it. I enjoyed it a lot. The broth had a very distinctive flavor and was loaded with chunks of those vegetables. And I have to mention the very cute touch of fish shaped biscuits that came with our lunches - 1 for the cup of chowder and two for my bowl of stew. Our server, identified on our bill as "PM B" was friendly and very pleasant. The Blue Mermaid seems to be a bit of a social gathering venue, with live music on Bluegrass Sunday Brunch, and supporting charitable initiatives. And they got bonus points from me for hosting a Bob Dylan Appreciation Night on May 28.

There was plenty of parking in their spacious parking lot so there was no issue with parking. The service was friendly and professional. I highly recommend this place to others.

Chicken and Beef Kabobs as our entrees. Their signature cocktail Istanbul Peach Martini and a glass of Autorotas Sauvignon Blanc. As always the Lavash was amazing as was the Kabobs. The Kabobs came with a scoop of white rice, potatoes and a great salad with no lettuce, just marinated tomatoes. Cucumber, onion with herbs.

She did a terrific job letting us know what was going with their menu and took great care of us! We were delivered chips and salsa as we were seated. There was also a special salsa that seemed to be a mix of ranch dressing and salsa. I must say my wife and I were not that impressed with it. There's very good and the chips were good as well! We also ordered a side of their guacamole. I ordered their Carnitas chili Verde while my wife ordered chicken enchiladas. We also ordered margaritas. A Cinco de Mayo margarita with Julio and a raspberry margarita for my wife. Both extremely tasty! Nicky even put the World Cup football match on for us as well! We had a good experience here. The Restaurant itself was well appointed, and the restrooms were clean as well. The men's room was missing a sink, but was very clean! If we were locals, I know we would be back.

Looks like a full bar option and local beers for a craft beer enthusiast. The salmon plate was enjoyable and had flavor. Seemed a bit small in the plate but still yummy. Not sure about the cold potato sticks. But over all great. The haddock sandwich was very good. I do not do fried food much but thought I give it a try. A bit much on the tartar sauce but I ended up taking off the top bun and ate the rest. The fries were hot and crispy. Not a bad experience.
