Sat at the bar and had a happy-hour appetizer, mussels, and clam strips. All were great! Scored a reduced price on our drinks as well. It's Right downtown on the main street near the bridge. Kind of dark inside and not sure if outdoor seating is an option...but afterall we were there in April.

The whole experience was great. Food was perfect in every way. The Caesar salad was one of the best I’ve had, the lobster roll was perfect and so was the clam chowder. Our server Taylor was attentive but not obtrusive and got us in and out. She was awesome! Would definitely come back here.Parking: Paid parking lot

We went there for lunch. I was very happy that they had kids menus 14 $ choice of Mac and cheese was excellent . My clam chowder was very good and lobster roll was good to, mussels needs a more flavor, the staff was very nice and very friendly . My husband order s margarita mango he said it was very good. He enjoyed it. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. They are family friendly that was a plus!

We visited this restaurant in Sept and ordered two fried fish platters and a side of brussel sprouts. Our waitress, Amanda, insisted that one of us get the brussel sprouts as a side instead of fries, because we will be getting SOOOO many fries, the two of us can't eat it all. So we agreed. The fries were flimsy and enough for one person. The fish was oily . Amanda never came back to our table. Maybe they were running low on fries that day? Anyways, gross. And Amanda sucked.

This place is the best in all of Mystic! The manager Kristen goes above and beyond for every guest. Shaun the Chef and Co owner is outstanding! Perfect meals every time we have visited. The wait staff is impeccable! Jon is the best. I can’t rave enough about the place. I highly recommend to all!

We stopped in for lunch on our anniversary, and we were not disappointed! Great food and great staff. I had the lobster roll and a cup of clam chowder. The roll was good, but the star was the chowder. My honey had the fish and chips, and she absolutely loved it. Oh, and if you’re feeling like a beer, the “Captain’s Daughter” was great.

Saw positive reviews for their seafood and decided to come here with my boyfriend for a date. Unfortunately me and my boyfriend did not have the same positive experience with the food like others in positive reviews. My boyfriend said his lobster tasted microwaved and didn’t taste fresh. The French fries were nothing to rave at.. not very crispy and not much taste just light salt. The clam chowder was too salty.. mostly just tasted like salt not much of any other flavor. I always love to get clam strips at seafood restaurants and the clam strips I recieved seemed to be all batter. Very thickly battered to the point all you taste is just flour batter and it’s to thick and dense it’s hard to chew through and swallow. The restaurant was very clean and nice and our waiter was very nic but unfortunately the food wasn’t good and definitely not worth the price. Next time in Mystic I will be on the search for a better seafood restaurant.

A very enjoyable and affordable evening. I would imagine that it becomes very busy during the Summer months.I would absolutely return in the future.
