Mermaid Inn (Upper West)

This is a nice quaint restaurant in a quiet neighbourhood. They seem to have more mature clientele but prices are still affordable for the quality of food they provide.

 

Seared Calamari
cremini, shiitake, frisee & feta

I really enjoyed this dish. The seared calamari gave a very nice roasted flavour and I like the little crunch cos of the searing. Also, the sauce it came in was almost like a paste and it tasted a little briny. I wouldn't be surprised if that were squid ink. Yums!

Really fresh briny oysters :) Best without any sauce :)
