The Surly Mermaid · Sidney, BC · $21.18 hourly

Posted 2026-06-23 · Reviewed on 2026-09-09 · What do these ratings mean?

Verdict

The Surly Mermaid is an established Sidney restaurant since 2015 with an official site, menus and phone, and the cook role fits a full-service kitchen. The single weakness is that applications go to a personal Hotmail address rather than the restaurant's domain, which is common for small independent restaurants but is the main soft spot. The $21.18/hr wage and duties are at market.
