“Delish food excellent customer service wonderful atmosphere“

“Not much to look at from the outside, but very deceiving. Our dinner was excellent. My husbands muscles were served perfectly. And, I had the best and most unusual salad. And our server, Adam, was by far the best ever. Olio is lucky to have him.“

“Go to Mexican food when in Connecticut.“

“Excellent service and delicious food—incredible flavors that are an absolute must-try. The spices they use are indescribable. It’s a five-out-of-five spot; if you’re visiting Mystic, you have to go there. Oh, and make sure to book a table, as the place isn't very big and—from what we could tell—it’s very popular.“

“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 didn’t have the best experience for Valentine’s Day but we came back and had a much more enjoyable experience tonight ! Service and food were both great . We will be back 😀“

“My husband and I visited S & P Oyster Co. on our honeymoon, and it truly could not have been a more exquisite experience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm, inviting, and perfect for a special occasion. We started with fresh oysters on the half shell, pan-seared octopus, and pan-seared scallops, each dish was beautifully prepared and absolutely outstanding. For our entrées, we enjoyed the sesame-encrusted yellowfin tuna and the homemade squid ink pasta, both of which were exceptional in flavor and quality. Our waiter, Jeff, made the night even more memorable. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and kind, offering wonderful recommendations and never rushing us. The drinks were fantastic as well and complemented the meal perfectly. S & P Oyster Co. gave us a honeymoon dinner we will never forget. We can’t recommend this place enough and can’t wait to return. We make it a point to come every year!“

“OMG the food was absolutely delicious
Now please don't be put off by the cost yes $65 pp is a lot of money I'm a blue collar worker but it was my 30 th wedding anniversary so my wife and I decided to go for it the waitress had told us that some walk away because of the cost but all I can say to them is your really missing out so for 65 bucks you get to take from a raw bar, charcuterie board, overnight, oats, mixed fruit, pastries, coffee bar, and tea, that's an all you can eat ,then you get to pick from a breakfast menu a main dish and as if that's not enough you get a dessert tower all I can say is OMG all that for only $65 pp what a deal and if you can't finish your food you get to take it home 🏡
This place is located on the roof of soft bakery in mystic stairs to navigate up but easy climb“

“We have had two outstanding meals here this summer. The food, the service, and the ambiance is exceptional. It is our favorite place to eat in Niantic. And Mike, the Bartender, makes great cocktails! Though it is so busy he takes time to engage the customers! He makes the best whisky sour !!!“

“Great place to take an elegant date. Nice lighting nice music affordable atmosphere. Food is tight meaning excellent . Nice place for that nice girl you really like👍🏾“

“100 stars a must try Sol Toro!! It’s way better than the fast food places .. food was all fresh guacamole made right at your table, waiting staff and managers were all marvelous!! Try the buffalo cauliflower tacos!! Chicken quesadillas chicken fajitas all came a must!!“

“Love the food and mango margarita.“

“Most important thing - it opens early and is in the lobby so easy to find!
Coffee comes strong and a tall coffee is exactly that! They also ensure you do not burn your hands. Is often a very cheerful lady (with a great taste in Puerto Rican music) there whose politeness and level of service is extraordinary“

“Rude young female hostess working there on 7/5 in the afternoon. Give us an attitude and side eye when we asked for booth. Food is great waiter and other service people are very nice. The place wasn't busy and we saw 3 booth table seats open so not sure what the issue was. I would recommend don't let the rude hostess ruine your experience.“

“Absolutely LOVE Dev's On Main. The small plates menu is fabulous with many different and delicious items to choose from. Toasted goat cheese was heavenly, as was the shrimp cacio e pepe and the mongolian beef is a favorite. Main dishes were expertly prepared and have never disappointed. Fish and chips, citrus chicken, and the cod were outstanding. Cocktails were delicious as well. Service is warm and friendly. The atmosphere is fun and simple so it's easy to relax and enjoy a delicious meal. We have come here several times and always enjoy it.“

“Fantastic locally owned and operated spot! The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming, the food is amazing, and the cake is absolutely incredible. But what really stands out is the staff—they’re genuinely fantastic, attentive, and make you feel right at home. You can tell this place takes pride in what they do. Definitely worth stopping in!“

“I really enjoyed Nouvelle,the atmosphere is great, it's very low key ,but chic, and I loved the food! I had the steak and a salad ,it was delicious!My friend had the chicken Parmigiano, he had red wine,and I had a great Reisling wine. He used Mohegan Choice credits to pay,and the equivalent would be approximately $50 each for dinner and $150 for the wine. A bit on the high side,but if you are looking for an elegant ,but slightky casual place,its romantic and at the same time has gambling rooms for larger groups ,and machines inside! Twice they've had live music,on the weekend, sort of jazz. The service was excellent, and timely and the dessert was excellent.“

“Dinner was great until mice were bombarding us, atleast 3 coming out of the booth, going in and out:/ idek what is happening here.“
