“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.“

“Amazing food in a beautiful setting. Highly recommend!“

“Must try, when visiting Mystic! Go multiple times and discover something new to enjoy on each visit!“

“Went to the Engine room and sat outside on the front deck. Seating was comfortable & service was quick and very friendly. Everyone very much enjoyed their meals & left full and happy. Would definitely recommend and will plan on coming back soon.“

“Great little place with really good food. If you enjoy real food you'll probably like this place. I had a feeling they were going to be special when I saw that french fries were not an option. I opted for turnips and baked beans with my ribs. Also got the Thanksgiving sandwich. I'm so glad I found this place so close to home and will definitely return.“

“Black point pizza is always my go to when I want an absolutely amazing pizza. for me I have the cooks keep it in the oven a bit longer so it stands up when you pick it up to eat. the sauce is to die for also. if you like your pizza a little more firm just ask and the cooks are happy to make your food exactly as you like. minor the owner is a stand up guy and really did good with this recipe. the salads and his homemade balsamic dressing is the best I've had from anywhere. if you have not come out to black point you are really missing out. I promise you won't be disappointed 🍕 #gettotheoint #Blackpoint #thebestpizza #soooyummy #greatcustometservice“

“Amazing food and a really great atmosphere. The chef puts so much care into what she does and she makes everything tasty“

“01.26.25- 'Big Al's Reel Reviews' - Little Galapagos Restaurant ❤️ City of New London ❤️ I dropped into The Little Galapagos Restaurant this evening to review a couple of their popular menu items which were Chicken Wings, Thai Chilli Sauce followed by Carne Asada Ecuadorians Style meal that was actually really Dope ❤️ however the Chicken wings were not great at all so they earned a Thumbs 👎🏾 The atmosphere and service was really dope there and I am sure that had I ordered anything else on the menu besides the Wings would have been just as good as the Carne Asada. This is a great place to have a great meal and a dope light experience at the same time 😎 Thank you, Little Galapagos Restaurant 119 Broad St. ❤️ City of New London ❤️ ☝🏾❤️ -Big Al Mayo 'Always Keeping it REAL to REEL'“

“The food is really good for bar food. The wings, egg rolls and nachos are the best. The service is exceptional. Kaitlyn is amazing. We have been going for quite awhile now and have developed a friendship with her she is absolutely the best. When you go ask for her you won’t be disappointed. She is so friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: It is easy to get a wheelchair in and out.“

“What a fun and elevated bowling experience! Great food and drinks . Service was lovely ! Very clean ! Highly recommend!“

“We love going to the Mystic seaport and this was a great pub! The food was terrific and the beer was great. You order inside of the counter and they bring it to your table outside. They also have indoor seating. Would recommend if you are going to see the historic village.

Kid-friendliness: Great for the kids because you sit outside.“

“Good food.. great service“

“the best breakfast and dinner so delicious 😋“

“Smokey O'Grady's is a bar where the locals hang out, so you may feel like you're back in high school. If this is your first time here, don't expect the same service as a local. The food options are nice since they have a big menu. Drink options are endless here. Food and drink prices are reasonable. Our waiter was the bartender as well. This man deserves a good raise.“

“clean , fun place , friendly staff“

“good food but over priced for what you get. probably won't go back.“

“Awesome place. We were in town for a USCGA event and stumbled upon this excellent, fun place.
The food was amazing, our waitress, Aria, was fantastic, and the two IPAs I tried were great.
I am kinda unique amongst IPA guys in that I despise hazies, so I was thrilled to find two nice and happy westies.
The one thing I found a bit puzzling was there were no TVs.
We will be up in the area quite a bit, and I am looking for a place to watch the NFL!“

“My husband and I are both gluten free. The gluten free pizza is the best. We love the chopped Italian salad and order it every time we come. The service is awesome, too.“
