“ALL THE STARS! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We ordered food for pickup tonight and I could barely make it home without tearing open the bag because it smelled so good. But let me back up, I was greeted by the most friendly folks when I walked in the door who not only had my food packaged and ready to go but chatted with me about ordering options and gave me samples of their drinks, the mango drink is to die for! When I got home I was taken back by how huge the portions are! Our sandwiches were easily the size of two regular portions. We had the Tripleta sandwich and the Cubano sandwich with sides of fries. The pulled pork on the Cubano sandwich was so juicy and tender and the bread was perfectly grilled. We also got a beef and a chicken empanada and they were huge! The sauce was a little spicy for me (I’m a spice wimp) but my husband loved it. I’m so happy I found this place and it is now a local favorite for me.”

“The Shipwright's Daughter came highly recommended to us by locals we had talked with while vacationing in Mystic, and it did not disappoint. We booked a reservation for 7:15pm on a Saturday evening, and we were seated promptly at 7:15. From the hosts initial greeting, to our server first introducing herself at the table, every staff member made us feel welcomed. It was lovely. The cocktail my girlfriend ordered and the local draft I ordered were both outstanding. Our appetizers of Oysters on the Half Shell and a Yellowfin Tar Tar served on a Potato Pavé, were both so delicious, full of flavor, and beautiful. Our entrees consisted of the Zucchini Bucatini and the Duck Confit special, and both came out perfect. The seasoning, the cook of the duck, the plating were all immaculate. It's very clear the staff takes pride in their work, and make sure the guests have an outstanding experience. We finished with dessert, a Plum Sorbet Pavlova with a Peach Reduction, an Espresso Martini, and an Irish Coffee. We were finished with our meal and drinks and on our way by 8:20pm. All in all, it was the best experience I've had in a restaurant. The meals were phenomenal, the staff was top tier ( I apologize I can not remember our waitresses name, but she was outstanding), and the overall experience was more than I could have hoped for. If you are traveling to the mystic area, and you want to have an outstanding dining experience, this is the place for it”

“Our server Jordan was very polite, courteous and friendly. Enjoyed the experience and will definitely be returning again and recommending to my friends!!”

“Best açaí around! I definitely recommend them and their customer service is 100!”

“Our server Randi was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. She is a real p.lus for your business. The firecracker shrimp was amazing.”

“So very disappointed. Was there with a disabled person and treated terribly by customers and wait staff. Food was not good and service was terrible. Have been there previously and had a much better experience. I am not sure what changed but definitely will not go back or recommend this place if the same rude waitress is there. So very disappointed.”

“Love me the biscuits and sausage gravy. Although you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu 10 out of 10”

“A culinary delight! I took my family to Oyster Club on a Saturday evening after some shopping in Mystic and had a wonderful experience. The oyster happy hour was fantastic. As a raw oyster enthusiast, I was elated at the quality and price. I had a dozen oysters myself and had to stop myself from getting more- they were SO GOOD! The blackfish I had for dinner was excellent. The ramp hummus was a real highlight. For dessert, we had the maple ice cream which was the most delicious ice cream I have ever had. It was a real treat to come here. You can tell that the food is made with heart and served with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. I’ll definitely be back soon.”

“My wife and I went here for one of the stops on our honeymoon. The golf cart ride from the remote parking lot was relaxing. We had a water front seat It was absolutely breathtaking. The food was amazing the waiter was friendly and took time to answer any questions we had. We will be back one of the best seafood restaurants we’ve been to.”

“This is a hidden jewel in Foxwoods. Very worthy of five stars for delicious meals, including breakfast at affordable prices. Five star service by Marissa and Stephanie. Check it out!”

“Just enjoyed amazing cocktails (Gimlet and Curry Barbados) and Nosh (mushrooms had amazing flavor, Korean fried chicken sandwich, salty and delicious, empanadas crisp and yummy) from their Happy Hour menu which is being expanded from 4:00 to 6:00. On Tuesday starting at 6:30 or 7:00 is a jazz quartet which we sadly had to miss but will definitely be back. Our waitress Claire was darling and very informative. Bartender was spectacular!”

“We went for a family dinner there. Love the location, food and service. You can order anything off of menu and I guarantee, you will not be disappoint! Highly recommend it if you visiting Mystic.”

“Strange Brew Bar in Norfolk, Connecticut, is known for its laid-back atmosphere and a wide selection of beers, including Pabst Blue Ribbon (PBR). PBR has a nostalgic appeal and is often favored for its affordability and classic American lager taste. If you're looking for a casual spot to enjoy a cold beer, Strange Brew Bar would be a great choice! It’s always a good idea to check their current offerings and any special events they might be hosting. Enjoy your visit!”

“We had a two delicious meals. The duck was crisp and not fatty. I had the special with roasted potatoes and spiraled veggies with a delicious sauce. My husband thought his paella was very good. This new restaurant’s staff and owners try very hard to please their customers. We will definitely be back!”

“Got an ultimate green smoothie. It was so good. Was not super sweet which I loved but if you like yours sweet make sure to add some sort of sweetener. The price was reasonable for the quality you get. Everyone was very nice as well. Definitely going back!”
