Looks promising. I like the mermaid logo. Hopefully, this restaurant can make a go of it in Waconia. With a great lakeside location and quick highway access (once 212 opens all the way) it should be a nice draw for Twin Cities daytrippers.

I was really sorry to see Nancy's Landing go.

So, I was excited to hear that Dermot Cowley (a Watertown resident) is opening a new restaurant at the site.

The service and food have always been great at Cowley's Irish-themed restaurant Jake O'Connor's in Excelsior, so I have high expectations for his new Waconia business.
