“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!“

“The oyster club puts an aggressive focus on the ingredients themselves. Less fanfare, more flavor.

The warm nautical interior seats a number of groups comfortably as well as having a spacious bar top for singles and couples.

The bartenders are knowledgeable and the staff have that calm conspiratorial air befitting delicate opulence. I sat alone at the bar enjoying a quiet afternoon to myself and was handled by one of the two bartenders who talked me through the menu in casual conversation. All my food arrived in sequence thereafter without her so much as writing anything down.

I enjoyed a selection of local oysters, fresh and delicious. Followed by a course of seasonal vegetables, sliced tomatoes in oil with dollops of cream and braised radishes in a lemon butter sauce that paired decedantly with the fat slabs of homemade sourdough.

For my entree I did a catch of the day which was cooked to perfection.

Oyster club is not about elegant technique or fancy recipes, the menu is short and printed on paper as it is ever-changing.

I will have to come back to try their tree house experience overlooking the river.“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Food was great and atmosphere was wonderful!“

“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.“

“My family lives in Mystic so I stop into Sift whenever I don't see a line outside (weekends can get hectic). Today I got the chicken salad sandwich on a croissant and it was phenomenal. I also tried the La Cherry pastry which was also delicious and really well made. There are tons of baked goods like croissants and cookies as well as other kinds of sandwiches and coffees. Definitely worth a stop!“

“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!“

“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. 🙌“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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! ❤️❤️❤️“

“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 . 😁“

“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!!“

“well everything we ordered was delicious. it is a byob establishment, and also when you want a soda or a water, you go grab it from the cooler. Very hands off restaurant, but the food was very good. Naan bread was great, dal makhani was delicious as well.“

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

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

“Food was amazing!!!!!!!!!!“

“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“

“Coming here, you can tell it's less about seafood than many of the other restaurants in Mystic and more about their burgers and unique cocktails.

The food we ordered was good enough, the service was friendly, but they definitely need to work on their service times. It took about fifteen minutes from when we ordered our drinks and apps to get our apps, and we were still waiting on the drinks.

I'd suggest this place as one to grab a drink rather than to get a full meal, save your hunger for a neighboring restaurant“

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

“This restaurant has a nice, clean interior and is very comfortable overall. We ordered karaage chicken, sushi, tantan ramen, miso soup, and Thai tea, and everything tasted excellent. The karaage chicken was the standout - light, crispy, and perfectly paired with a simple sauce that worked really well.

My only note was the chashu pork in the tantanmen, which was quite bland and a bit tough to chew. Chashu should always be slow-cooked for several hours and rich in flavor. That said, the broth, noodles, and ramen egg were all great. The broth could be slightly creamier, in my opinion, but it was still very enjoyable.

Service was okay overall. One of the servers (an Asian woman) came across as a bit dismissive and not very welcoming, though the other staff we interacted with seemed friendly.

Overall, a very good experience. Vacation restaurants can sometimes feel like tourist traps or money grabs with underwhelming food, but this one was a pleasant surprise.“

“Ben & Jerry’s at Mohegan Sun is an absolute must-visit if you’re looking for the perfect sweet treat! We stopped by during our trip and were reminded why Ben & Jerry’s is known for having some of the best ice cream around.

The ice cream was incredibly rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. Every scoop was fresh and delicious, with generous portions and plenty of mix-ins. There were so many great flavors to choose from that it was hard to decide which one to get. No matter what you order, you’re in for a treat.

The staff was friendly, patient, and helpful, even with a busy crowd. They served everyone with a smile and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. The shop was clean, organized, and had a fun, welcoming atmosphere.

After spending time at Mohegan Sun, this was the perfect way to end our day. Whether you’re craving classic flavors or something unique, Ben & Jerry’s never disappoints. It was a huge hit with our entire family, and everyone left happy.

If you’re visiting Mohegan Sun, do yourself a favor and stop by Ben & Jerry’s. Fantastic ice cream, friendly service, and a great overall experience. We will definitely be back on our next visit. Five stars all the way!“

“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 went here this week with a friend. I ordered a special roll and my friend ordered a spring roll. The spring roll was incredibly bland. Like eating a salad wrapped in tough jello. They did bring me the incorrect roll and I had to have them bring over the menu to show them what I wanted. The server was INCREDIBLY friendly and very apologetic. When the correct roll came out, it was very good. I also order curry from here often for my mother and its very good as well.“

“📅 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”“

“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 👍“

“i never really leave reviews, but i’ve been coming here since i was a baby, this has always been my favorite place to get food even being around 1.5 hours away from me, i will always make the drive for the buffalo chicken taquitos, closed on my days off but whenever my dad is in the area he knows to pick me up some!! eating here makes my whole week!“

“Just got back from the 1st Sunday of the month night with Mystic Dead. Met the owner who seemed like a super humble and unassuming guy. The staff and the food and the band (of course) were all amazing! Looking forward to chilling down by the river after the shows when the weather warms up a bit. Drove down 2 hours for this show at this venue. Totally worth it on all accounts!!“

“new menu from Ballo is good. went with skirt steak and it was really good. the potatoes were good as well. tried the olive oil cake for dessert sort of blah. Will was our server--- best part of the night! great service and even been personality !!!“
