The best French 75 I’ve ever had - and I have a high bar. Between the ambiance, well-balanced cocktails and entrees, and excellent service, this place is a must-visit when in Mystic!

Love this place! You don’t have to ask for a thing during service, staff is on top of it! Food is incredible and cocktails are 10/10 always. We felt so taken care of and had a blast! Don’t skip the drag show!!

Hello I have been trying to make a reservation Saturday the 18th for 10 people around 6pm. Folks in my party have called numerous times and left messages as well as come in person to try and lock us in and have not had success. Please reach out to me so we can either confirm or deny, either way I will remove this once I get some feedback . Thank you!

Wonderful atmosphere the nautical aesthetic was a treat to see and the food tasted so good, our server was so knowledgeable and so kind. The Kimchi hotdog was a big highlight. For the presentation and atmosphere I was surprised at how relatively adorable it was too. would absolutely recommend
Cool toilet, menu confused me. Music was different. Only one waitress staffed. She knew alot about the food and drinks. Tap water was lovely. Make sure you get a reservation because this place is busy and very small. Drinks take a while. Food came quick. My lady friend liked her burger. Overall good experience

June 2026: It's mostly a bar so they play unpleasant music which detracts from the experience. I had the poisson meunieur which on the night we were there was fluke. It was well prepared and I'd recommend it.
June 2026.This more of a bar than a restaurant, with loud music and a lot of noise. The menu was a bit hard to navigate as it is very heavily concentrated on the drinks, and finding food items among the drinks was a bit difficult. I did enjoy my selections. Crab salad was presented on an egg with perfect soft yokes. I thought It was creative and interesting combination of flavors. Haitian duck confit was also very flavorful. Served with a salad with feta and pop corn. Good flavors, nice crunch. The service was attentive. I also got a kick from a toilet with a pull chain. A flash back to my childhood, not something you see every day.
Very unique restaurant will good cocktails and great food. Party of 6 everyone ordered different drinks and dinners. Everyone was happy. After seeing the other dishes and individual reactions I could have been happy with any of the plates, but very satisfied with the duck. Service was great. Note the menu rotates periodically to a new port of call.

First visit. Great time. The bartender, Yahtzee, spent the night explaining every aspect of her job with pure joy—from the science behind the drinks to the simple reason for the hand chopped ice. She kept us intrigued with her enthusiasm for what she does. We didn’t get food but will be back for that based off her pure joyous description of the menu. Couldn’t ask for more from an employee

Really nice room and very attentive wait staff. Perhaps a wee bit too attentive? Drinks were good, complex, inventive, and expensive. Food was mixed: we had yummy apps (Bhan Mi, crab crudo) but my fish entree was overcooked and the sauce was sorta flavorless.

Absolutely 5 stars. My husband and I just finished a 15 day roadtrip through New England and this was my favorite restaurant. The atmosphere matches the food and drink quality. When I took my first bite of the chocolate dessert, I think my eyes rolled into the back of my head. Top notch staff and amazing bartender. Can't wait to come back.

The food here is pretty top notch, and our server was really kind and friendly. It looks like they do a lot of pop up events and change their menu pretty regularly. Seems like more of a restaurant for adults I did bring my kids when I went and I would bring them again but the restaurant is more lounge like. With a big bar upstairs and downstairs.

I never give out five stars. These folks are definitely running a five-star show. I cannot imagine why this is only a 4.5 as of this review. It's the kind of food that makes your eyes roll into the back of your head as you utter strange and inappropriate noises. Do not miss the hot dogs if you're in Dive Bar downstairs.

I accompanied my wife for a small birthday celebration at Port of Call last January 28th. References to the James Beard Awards as well as several of the menu choices on your website were appealing. Unfortunately, in several areas it didn't meet expectations. My wife, Shirley relayed those to you - rolled squid ink lasagna had a hard crust of cheese which was not warm and tough to get through to the center; the ricotta was barely warm; and, the Slovenia Pinot Noir, which was just OK, and then were overcharged $3 a glass for it.
That can sometimes happen even at the best restaurants. Rather than posting a negative review online, Shirley wrote to explain the situation. Nancy (I'm assuming that's the person this email is going to) responded right away. That email follows. Unfortunately, what was promised therein never happened. In fact, at least 4 of Shirley's follow-up emails were not responded to. If Nancy experienced an illness or is no longer there, some of this would be understandable, but I’d assume someone else what have responded.
