The food the service and the whole experience had me locked in from start to finish. By the end of this meal there was no question… this one goes down as a Big Al’s 💎 Gem Spot. Service & Atmosphere: The service here was absolutely top notch. My host Payton got me started right. My server Mark handled everything perfectly... attentive professional and just an all around wonderful guy. Flora also stepped in with great support and I even got a photo with Travis the bartender. Behind the sushi counter two chefs were working hard and delivered rolls that blew me away. The whole team made this meal stand out. The atmosphere inside Pink Basil is vibrant and welcoming.... it’s clear why this place stays busy.

“Best non A5 Wagyu steak I’ve had at any restaurant ever. And I’ve had many a steak. Just wow.

Bonus: Their lunch smash burger, with an extra patty if it doesn’t already have one, with the patties well done is probably the best “upscale” smash burger from a true sit down spot I’ve had. And I don’t think there are many people out there who have had more smash burgers all over the U.S. than me 😂“

“This places food is awesome!! The vibe is great, the service is wonderful, will definitely be back“

“We had the most amazing experience here. First time and we will definitely be back . This place is a hidden gem. Food was fresh and homemade. So many items to choose from. Every single person we encountered in this establishment made our experience so much richer. Herb keeping watch, Ellen for the hospitality, Maddy our waitress, both cooks and even the table busser. Not to mention the lovely elderly couple we stayed and chatted with well after our meal. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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 😀“

“I've only been here a few times, but I can confidently say that the staff is always extremely welcoming, friendly, warm, and pleasant. I've never had a bad time or inconvenience there. There are decent options for food and drinks... I have yet to try something I don't like. The atmosphere is warm, elegant, and comfortable. I definitely recommend giving this place a chance if you haven't yet! The Staff and Owner make sure that everyone present is happy, safe, and satisfied. 🙌“

“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!“

“Food was great and atmosphere was wonderful!“

“Delicious Treats at Sift Bake Shop – Mystic! 🥐🍰

My husband, our fur daughter Chewie, and I spent 4 days and 3 nights in CT, and before heading back yesterday to NJ, we stopped by Sift Bake Shop in Mystic. It was our first time there, and WOW—everything looked so good! I ended up spending almost $90! 😆 Since we’re not from CT and didn’t know what to order, I asked one of the servers for her recommendations, and I followed most of her suggestions. I don’t know the names of everything I ordered, but I took pictures so I can remember them! 😂
This morning for brunch, my mother-in-law and I had the ham and cheese croissant, and it was HUGE and absolutely delicious! 😋 Everything looked so fresh and tempting, and I’m sure the rest of what I ordered will be just as delicious. I honestly can’t wait to try everything!
Such a great find in Mystic, and we’re so glad we stopped by before heading home. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in CT! ❤🥐“

“By far one of our favorite places to grab a pizza. Always fresh and tasty. Have also had the wings and other dishes. All have been amazing. If you have not gone - GO!“

“We had a baby shower for my daughter and son-in-law at the Dog Watch Mystic, and I could not be happier with them. The tent and grounds were perfectly appointed, the food was fantastic, and the entire staff was wonderful. Thank you, Dog Watch!“

“Everything I've had at Nanas has been excellent! my favs are the drinks, risotto balls, pizza and hot donuts! The staff is the best!“

“My husband and I dine at Go Fish often and have never been disappointed. The entire experience- exceptional food, warm atmosphere and great service- never misses a beat. Highly recommend!!“

“Delicious !!!! People working there through the years are always fantastic !!! Always bring my Family , bring yours..they're the best thing that happened to breakfast and coffe . 😁“

“I loved the popover and I had a great salad too! The place itself was small and crowded. Would like to try again sometime when there aren’t so many people.“

“Stopped here after a girls day out book shopping, this place is awesome! Friendly, happy staff with healthy, delicious food!“

“Mystic Pizza has by far, some of the best pizza I've ever eaten. the staff was great and very friendly. Ask for Alex, she was wonderful.“

“Ate here a few days ago! Everything was excellent! The Pomodoro Caprese Salad was good and the Veal Parmesan was excellent! Would definitely order it again! Raspberry Sorbet was amazing!!!! Staff is very friendly and wonderful! Definitely will eat here again! Great first time experience! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Had a family dinner with 10 guests for my sons 18th birthday last night. We've been going to Peking a long time and always have great service however, last night was extra special. Our waitress was great, and even surprised my son with a wrapped birthday gift. Very happy customers“

“The staff was amazing and the ice cream was mind blowing. Of all the local, handmade ice cream shops I've visited, this one is by far the best! Chocolate was amazing and the selection was extensive! A must if you're ever in downtown Mystic!!“

“We stopped by for late lunch , the dishes those stood out were hakka noodles , steamed momo and yellow daal fry. Service was quick and good and very reasonable price, will become our goto place everytime we visit mystic and crave for indian food.“

“The food was absolutely fabulous. Quite filling and satisfying to have any type of day. I came when it was cloudy, which is good weather for a soup. A lot of tofu in the soup, but is fine with what you wanted. The dessert was so filling and unique for fried bananas. Will come again, but not during tourist season, hahahaha.“

“Best Bagel Sandwich I have ever had, I will be back!“

“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!!“

“Good food.. great service“

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

“It was our first time visiting here as a family from the UK on holiday. We had dinner at the restaurant and sat on the outside neck. The servers were lovely and did the job perfectly, with food and drinks brought to the table promptly.

I had macaroni cheese and the onions rings, with the cowboy dip as a starter. The macaroni cheese was delicious, super creamy, the onion rings were definitely some of the best we’ve ever had, and the cowboy dip was so nice and the dip was a good refreshing dip.

My family had fish and chips, and chicken burgers. They all enjoyed their food equally as much as I did.

Would totally recommend and if we ever visit this area again, we would definitely return. Thanks for a good meal!“

“Kendall was sweet & gave great service! 10/10“

“Ice cream was delicious! But what really stood out was the service. My son has a nut allergy. We let Gabby know when we ordered. She got a new box of ice cream, a new scooper from the back and opened a new package of spoons. She was very helpful and made sure my son enjoyed his ice cream safely. Highly recommend!“

“Great atmosphere, great food. Family friendly! My daughter loves the music! Definitely recommend 💯!“

“I must say, the latest owners have really turned things around. I skeptically ordered a burger this evening and I was not disappointed! So much better now. And, their beer cheese for the pretzels, is everything 🤌🏻“

“Our first time visit to the area and Mystic Diner was recommended. We enjoyed their breakfast several mornings. Clean, friendly, attentive staff, many selections, breakfast all day, reasonable prices. Lots of desserts but didn't try any. They have a take out window. If it looks like they're packed and long wait, go in anyway, the place is huge. It happened to us and there were plenty of tables/booths available.“

“I typically stay away from restaurants that offer a mix of different asian cuisines, following the mantra of you can't be good at everything and if you try you won't be good at anything. However, Spice Club surprised me with really good sushi apps and great main thai dishes. The ambience is pretty good too and the hostess was very kind and accommodating.“

“📅 09.16.25 WRITTEN REVIEW Big Al’s Reel Reviews - EP.163 🍕 Mango’s Wood-Fired Pizza Co. 💎 'Big Al's 💎 Gem Spot' Old Mystic Village, CT This afternoon I pulled up to the Village of Mystic straight from BMW of Warwick in my new BMW M850i Gran Coupe to see if Mango’s could raise the B.A.R.R... because I was hungry. And they absolutely did. In fact, this spot just became a Big Al’s 💎 Gem Spot. Here’s how it all went down: 1️⃣ Wood-Fired Wings (Buffalo) - $15.95 BOMB! 💣 Eight perfectly wood-fired wings- crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with buffalo sauce that hits just right. The blue cheese dressing deserves its own shoutout 💣😎 2️⃣ Oma’s Real Meatball Sandwich- $17.50 BOMB! 💣 These wood-roasted, hand-rolled meatballs were full of flavor and smothered in rich pomodoro sauce, tucked inside toasted rustic bread with melted provolone and parmesan. It comes with potato chips and a fresh crunchy pickle. 3️⃣ Small Mango’s Mozzarella Pie- ½ Mozzarella/Funky Monkey- $19.95 💣 DOUBLE BOMB! The cheese half? The best cheese pizza I’ve had on this side of the Thames River, perfect crust, flawless sauce-to-cheese ratio. The Funky Monkey half? 💣💣 DOUBLE BOMB! The heat level was spot-on and the flavor combo was straight 🔥. Verdict: Mango’s brought the flavor, the service (big shoutout to my server Jessica, who was mad cool 😎 🙌🏾), and the vibes. This is officially a Big Al’s Gem Spot, and one I’ll be coming back to again. ☝🏾❤️ - Big Al Mayo “See you on the Rebound, Peace✌🏾out”“

“Food was amazing!!!!!!!!!!“

“So good � the food is so good & it’s like home made healthy quality not like fast food quality �“

“Just ate here for the first time today. Excellent pizza. Even got $10 off for joining their rewards program. Definitely recommend 👍“

“Really nice CT hole in the wall spot. A bit away from the busy downtown area of Niantic, and right past the famous Book Barn, if you're coming from the North. Inside is nice an cool, with enough space for people to eat. As well as outside tables by the porch or the front of the venue if it's nice and cool.

Eventhough it was busy, these people were fast.

Once you get in, you go right to the front desk and order. If there's a line, make sure to have already picked what you want. Don't wait last second to figure it out. It's not polite. Then pay and get your receipt and your number.

Take a seat and make sure the waiter and waitress sees the number for your food.

We had a pleasant time. They have two doors so you dont have to leave the same way you came in and bathrooms.

If you have children or wheelchair, make sure to have someone to order for you since the first step of the venue is tall. Making it hard to get in for wheelchair ♿ people.

Decent parking space. Just pay attention with the ongoing traffic. People drive too fast and they stop for nothing when you are leaving the plaza.“

“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 ordered the Primavera pasta. It was delicious! They were also very accommodating for my friend who has a gluten and dairy free allergy. Her meal was also delicious. We ordered the artichokes app gluten-free and they were so good as well. Definitely would go here again next time we are at Mohegan Sun! “
