"Lively little pub, serving food and drink, where you'll be lucky to get a table or a parking space most of summer. Nice location right by the sea so great place to watch the world go by. Had a nice lunch here with friends and it was all around £25. Ordered drinks and sandwiches, which had generous fillings and came with fries and salad. My friends ham was a bit too thickly sliced for my liking, but they loved it and my grated cheese and pickle was just right for me. Will definitely visit again."

"However, once upstairs, the tables were poorly arranged, making it difficult for me to see half of my party. The atmosphere was dark, hot, and felt neglected. It took a long time for them to even play background music. The food was bland and dry, with the only highlights being the cocktails and chips. My steak, prawns, and pork were all overcooked to the point of being inedible. It was a shame to leave feeling so disappointed. We will not be returning to this restaurant for a meal. The vibe from the other party downstairs was unpleasant, with the staff and customers giving us disapproving looks as if it were our fault they couldn't be upstairs at 7pm. Definitely not a positive experience, and I will not be giving this place another chance."

"This meal was a takeaway. It reminded me of the old 1980's Chinese experience. Very sweet, cash and carry sauces, everything deep fried. It was vomit inducing. To their credit, the takeaway was collected and I was refunded in cash. I only took mouthful of each dish..... which by the way came to forty quid for one!!! I haven't seen so much batter since I lived in the north, and I don't mean Chang Mai.... where I also resided for some time. (north Thailand) MSG and cheap sugar are this kitchen's friend. Avoid at all costs. If you fancy a rubbish oriental meal, there are a great few in Ryde for a fraction of the price. This food bears no resemblance whatsoever to the beautiful Thai cuisine that I have come to know and love. I can only describe it as abysmal, try it at your peril. GOOD LUCK!!!!"

"Wow! What a find! We thought we’d pop in to check out the gin and we ended up spending the whole afternoon and evening there! We were greeted by the lovely Josh who was so knowledgeable about gin and really made us feel welcome and after a guided tour of the distillery he suggested we try the gin tasting paddle. It was only £9 and worth every penny, we shared the 8 little shots and the bar supplied us with complimentary Fevertree mixers! The gin and rum selections were sensational and we just had to buy a couple of bottles to bring home. We then spent a few hours chilling and chatting to Josh and the rest of the staff and decided that we couldn’t go home without trying their gluten free pizzas! So we headed over to the restaurant area and enjoyed pizzas and loaded fries. We then made our way to the comfy leather sofas in front of the welcoming log burner and ordered a Banana Rumba cocktail lovingly made by Josh who was a real master cocktail maker !! and an Affogato with a shot of hot coffee and spiced rum! We didn’t want to leave and honestly it really made our visit to the Isles of White memorable. Couldn’t recommend the Mermaid bar enough! Honestly it’s fab and we can’t wait to go back."
