    We've had two events at Jerry and the Mermaid and both of them were wonderful experiences. The staff is amazing and goes out of their way to be accommodating. The food and service is amazing. Jerry and his staff go above and beyond to make everything special. We highly recommend them for dinner or a special event!

    Writing this is hard because I do not have enough words to describe how amazing this place is. Every single person who works there treats you like family. I felt like I knew Jerry, the owner, my whole life. We had eaten there a few times leading up to the wedding when we had to visit the venue for whatever reason, and each time we were blown away by the food and the service. We decided to book Jerry and the Mermaid for our rehearsal dinner and our after party. For the rehearsal we did a buffet, which was probably the best buffet meal I've ever had. I find that usually buffet meals are kind of lackluster, but this one was literally so delicious. The back room was set up so nice, the staff was over the top amazing, and everything really went so well. I got emotional because of how kind everyone was being to me. I literally felt like Princess Diana the night before the royal wedding lmao. Then for the afterparty, we bought out the whole space for 2 hours. They had an incredible bar staff who was able to handle the volume of people we had with no problem. They set up some apps for everyone to munch on and OMG IT WAS DELICIOUS. Seriously, the best potstickers I've ever had in my life lol. I could go on for days about Jerry, his staff, and this restaurant, but I will spare you all of the babbling lol. Seriously, please book this place. And if you aren't getting married in the area, do yourself a favor and go out there for a meal one day lol (get the tuna!).

    Jerry and The Mermaid was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration. The owner was very responsive and available to discuss all of the details for our event. The venue itself had a cozy, family-friendly, and stylish atmosphere that made our guests feel right at home. They made sure all of our guests were well taken care of with their outstanding service, and the food was absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend Jerry and The Mermaid for all special events!

    We hosted our wedding after-party at Jerry and the Mermaid on 9/27/24, and it was absolutely perfect! From start to finish, Jerry was a dream to work with—so personable, responsive, and accommodating. He made planning a breeze and ensured everything went smoothly the night of. We went with a bar food-style package and added a 500 bar tab, which worked out perfectly for our guests. The food was exactly what we were hoping for—delicious, fun, and satisfying after a long night of dancing and celebrating! The drinks were great, and the bartenders were quick and friendly. The location is also a huge bonus—convenient and with a cozy, laid-back vibe that made it the perfect place to keep the party going after our reception. So many of our guests raved about the after-party, and we’re so happy we chose Jerry and the Mermaid. Highly recommend for any event—especially if you want a great time with zero stress!
