“Got to go for my first time and it was amazingggggg cant wait to try it again !!”

“Amazing food and great staff!!!!!”

“New business in town, we had a wonderful experience. Buffalo chicken wings were really good, lobster stew had more lobster meat than anywhere else I have been, blackened chicken Alfredo was excellent. Horachatta (sp) drink, according to my husband was also so good. The decor was relaxing, music and ambience very nice. We took the carne asada to-go to have over the weekend, and look forward to going back again to try there pizza and other menu items. Glad we decided to try someplace new!”

“I'm in the top 5% of pizza restaurant reviewers on Google and I dont give out 5 stars easily. I have been to Fireside Brick Oven a handful of times over the years. The food was always good , but it used to take a LONG time to get our food, especially with a large party. They revamped since I was in there last. The place looks cleaner and the layout improved. Somehow, the food also improved, which is saying something because it was always great. The service and the time it took to get our food (party of 20) also drastically improved. I always knew this place had potential, and I'm so glad they figured it out.

There are some contenders in Eastern, CT, but right now I think Fireside might be king. 👑

Well done Fireside Brick Oven fam! Can't wait to come back! ✨”

“Great staff, good egg sammich! 👍”

“Service was great. Order was correct. Food and drinks were as ordered and very yummy. Team worked well together and got us out fast. Came thru around 8:15 AM 5/22/21. Great job by all.”

“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”

“Barbary is our favorite spot. We’ve now been 4 times in the past year. Now when we go other places my husband and I agree that we should have gone back to Barbary Coast!”

“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.”

“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!”

“This place is incredible! It was my family’s first time dining here. The food is out of this world and our server was amazing! My kids, who are picky eaters, loved every dish that came out. We can’t wait to go back!”

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

“The food was very good! My husband and I shared the Lobster roll it wasn’t overly buttered , you can taste the lobster. The atmosphere eas nice and service was good.”

“Hands down one of my favorite places! The staff is wonderful and so friendly! We can’t wait to come back again in the spring!!”

“Delish food excellent customer service wonderful atmosphere”

“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.”

“Ordered the fish and chips and a white clam strip pizza. It was among one of the best fish and chips I have had, it was fried very well, not having any sort of nasty fried flavor, and the fish was nice and tender. However, learn from my mistakes and ask for some vinegar/and or hot sauce if you are getting the fish and chips. I wasn't thrilled about the pizza, I felt it was a little bland and too heavy at the same time, however as the pizza came after the fish and chips i may have just been too full to appreciate. However if i came again i would get the red sauce version instead.”

“Great food, decent service, and a good atmosphere. Everything was well prepared and the overall experience was enjoyable and relaxing. A great place for a nice meal and good company.”

“This was our first time at Amalfi and it won't be our last! The food was amazing!! The staff was wonderful and the decor was perfect! You won't be disappointed. We can't wait to go back.”

“I love this restaurant is our favorite for hole family. It’s always a good experience to come here. The food is super delicious and inexpensive. My favorite is the Taza platter.”

“Nate and Barbara were awesome and made sure we were welcomed and happy! Food was perfection and updated atmosphere is very cool!!”

“Great place to order from - I use Grub Hub and It's Delicious”

“Awesome restaurant. Love the relaxed atmosphere. The service is absolutely amazing. The food is amazing.”

“A lovely bakery and coffee shop worth the visit

Sift Bake Shop is a really nice coffee shop and bakery. The coffee was great, and the baked goods were beautiful and delicious. It’s clear why it’s such a popular spot.

One tip: mornings can get quite busy, but later in the day it’s much calmer and easy to get whatever you want without the wait. Either way, it’s worth stopping by. We would definitely recommend Sift Bake Shop to anyone visiting Mystic!”

“We love their food ! The service is always good”

“Food was great and atmosphere was wonderful!”

“We ordered take from from Rio Salado this evening and it was delicious. The manager (Katie) was a doll. She took our order and every request for substitutions or additional food was not a problem. The wait staff is personal able and the restaurant is lovely. We plan on ordering again and look forward to having dinner at the restaurant. So if your looking for delicious Mexican food served by polite staff in a nice restaurant, this is the place for you.”

“I love PP and Chicken Diablo is my FAV!”

“MOST DELICIOUS DONUTS for the literal best prices I’ve ever seen. The staff is lovely, the shop has a pleasant vibe, and my kids are always thrilled to have Flander’s donuts! It’s cash only (which I forget a lot, that’s why I’m mentioning it) but they have an ATM machine in the shop. So recommended!”
