“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 food was very good! My husband and I shared the Lobster roll it wasn’t overly buttered , you can taste the lobster. The atmosphere eas nice and service was good.“

“The waitress was attentive and the overall service was good. The food arrived quickly. The Teriyaki Pork Belly Bao Bao Buns were AMAZING! The Seafood Pasta was typical and did not wow me in terms of flavor. Therefore, I don’t believe that particular dish is worth the price. They also told me they don’t have bread available for lunch.“

“Absolutely delicious! Clam strips, tuna burger, tuna mortadella, mermaid fries and salt and vinegar onion rings were to die for! Everything was spot on! From the food to the atmosphere, to the chef and our camp counselor Kim! It's a "must stop" in Mystic!“

“All around wonderful experience. The fact that the day was sunny with a breeze helped to make this an overall 5. Service was friendly and attentive. Steamers were great, a few with grit but most were sweet and tasty. I don’t eat oysters but those in my group who do said they were good. NE Clam chowder was very good. Could have been slightly thicker but had a great flavor and was seasoned well. Lobster was sweet, tender and juicy. Perfectly cooked. You don’t go to this type of place for their potato salad and coleslaw but they both deserve a mention because they were good, especially the coleslaw, it had a great crunch and was dressed but not dripping in condiments. Special lobster roll was also really good, stuffed with lobster meat. We tried both corns, buttered one was hands down the best, the corn flavor was front and center but also glad we tried the other one. Will definitely return to try more menu options. A perfect New England experience.“

“We had one of the best servers last night. Cameron was excellent! Very personable and fun. Of course the food was delicious!!“

“11.11.25 *WRITTEN REVIEW Big Al’s Reel Reviews - Ep.179 🇺🇸 (Veteran’s Day Edition) 🍽️ Breakwater - Stonington Borough, CT Big Al’s 💎 Gem Spot It was one of those raw, windy Veteran’s Days down by the shoreline. My pops and I stopped first at Stonington Point, the American flag waving strong over the water. He looked at it and said, “I did my 20.” That line hit deep. From there, we made our way to Breakwater, a beautiful spot right on the harbor. The second we stepped inside, we were greeted by that warm coastal glow thru bright windows, with beautiful waterfront views, and a calm, classy energy. 💣 And then came one of those full-circle moments life throws at you sometimes… Our server was Trina, someone I worked with almost 30 years ago at Mohegan Sun Casino. Seeing her again made the day even more special. She was absolutely wonderful, kind, quick, and professional. It was everything you could expect. Service was top-notch. 💣 Now let’s talk about that food 👇🏾 1️⃣ Crispy Fried Calamari- $17.50 💣 Light, crispy, and perfectly fried. The cherry peppers gave it just the right kick, and that Thai Chili sauce was straight fire. Pops and I tore it down in minutes 🤷🏾‍♂️😀 both calling it a bomb. 2️⃣ Fish & Chips- $24.50 💣 Fried Atlantic Cod - Done golden and perfect. My fries were crispy and seasoned just right; My Pops went with sweet potato fries. Delicious Coleslaw, and with cocktail sauce every bite of fish hit. Comfort food at its best. We both said bomb 3️⃣ Seafood Pasta- $34.50 💣 This one was loaded: four big scallops, three shrimp, crab meat and two thick lobster pieces all swimming in a creamy garlic Parmesan sauce with a little sweetness from the julienne veggies. Every bite was rich, buttery, and flavorful. This s**t was incredible - bomb all the way. Everything we ordered hit. No misses, no maybes. Breakwater delivered from start to finish Son! Great atmosphere, phenomenal service, and food that was cooked with care and flavor. This Veteran’s Day review turned into something special. Breakwater is officially a Big Al’s 💎 Gem Spot. You need to get your a** down there right away and check them out and make sure you tell ’em, Big Al sent you! See you on the Rebound, Peace✌🏾out ☝🏾❤️ - Big Al Mayo “Always Keeping it Real to Reel”“

“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 😀“

“Excellent seafood! Stopped by to pick up some fish for home. I've been here a few times and the fish is outstanding quality! As good or better than most restaurants I've been to. I always stop here when I'm in Stonington and I will definitely be back!“

“We enjoyed an amazing meal with tons of delicious surprises and really loved the touches of vintage decor… def the spot for my next brunch“

“The Shipwright's Daughter came highly recommended to us by locals we had talked with while vacationing in Mystic, and it did not disappoint. We booked a reservation for 7:15pm on a Saturday evening, and we were seated promptly at 7:15. From the hosts initial greeting, to our server first introducing herself at the table, every staff member made us feel welcomed. It was lovely. The cocktail my girlfriend ordered and the local draft I ordered were both outstanding. Our appetizers of Oysters on the Half Shell and a Yellowfin Tar Tar served on a Potato Pavé, were both so delicious, full of flavor, and beautiful. Our entrees consisted of the Zucchini Bucatini and the Duck Confit special, and both came out perfect. The seasoning, the cook of the duck, the plating were all immaculate. It's very clear the staff takes pride in their work, and make sure the guests have an outstanding experience. We finished with dessert, a Plum Sorbet Pavlova with a Peach Reduction, an Espresso Martini, and an Irish Coffee. We were finished with our meal and drinks and on our way by 8:20pm. All in all, it was the best experience I've had in a restaurant. The meals were phenomenal, the staff was top tier ( I apologize I can not remember our waitresses name, but she was outstanding), and the overall experience was more than I could have hoped for. If you are traveling to the mystic area, and you want to have an outstanding dining experience, this is the place for it“

“Had a nice birthday lunch there and tried the excellent Scallops with mushroom risotto. Soups and desserts all made in house. I enjoyed my meal looking out at the water. The restaurant has been remodeled and is beautifully decorated.“

“We’ve been coming to Oyster Club since it opened in the early 2010s, and this visit may have been our most memorable yet. This restaurant — and its ownership group — has been the driving force behind the Mystic restaurant renaissance, and they continue to set the standard for excellence.\n\nThe space itself adds so much to the experience. With rough-hewn beams and warm wooden paneling, it feels like a cozy New England barn — inviting, intimate, and perfectly aligned with the farm- and sea-driven menu.\n\nWe began with the beets. Beets! Truly the best we’ve ever tasted. Deep, sweet, earthy, and prepared with such care that you can tell everything is sourced thoughtfully and cooked with intention.\n\nFor entrées, I had the winter flounder with cabbage while my wife had the tagliatelle. Both were outstanding. After my first bite of flounder, I actually closed my eyes just to savor it and try to identify each layer of flavor — everything complemented everything else.\n\nThe service was exceptional. Our server, Colleen, along with the rest of the staff, made sure we were never without a refill or anything we needed. And what we’ve always loved is that Oyster Club aims to turn customers into friends — after this visit, I’m pretty sure we’ve become their newest best friends.\n\nRenee Toupance, a two-time James Beard Award finalist (Best Chef: New England and Best Chef: U.S.), clearly pours tremendous thought into every dish. The flavors are balanced, intentional, and beautifully harmonious. And my rye cocktail was the perfect balance of delicious and boozy.\n\nAnother unforgettable visit to a place that remains a true gem. We’ll be back again — and often.“

“Best spot in downtown Westerly. I fact best spot in Westerly and surrounding areas.“

“Just had an amazing experience at Koi! Highly recommend it – fantastic food, great atmosphere, and superb service. Coco, the owner, is an absolute gem!“

“Was very disappointed when we took friends of ours there and told them how good the bread was but when we ordered from Jack was told the bread now costs and yet we were there two weeks ago and bread was offered. Also we had to ask Jack what the specials were and he acted put out. What a change from two weeks ago with waiter Greg who was awesome“

“Best Chinese food in the area, hidden gem🤌🏻“

“Amazing people, wonderful food. They make you feel like family“

“Food was great and atmosphere was wonderful!“

“We found this to be quaint little restaurant with water views. Our breakfast was delicious“

“My wife and I have been there 2 times in October/November 2024 for the Friday fish fry. The meal is filling and the fish is better than some restaurants we have tried in Mystic CT. The fish has a very thin dusting for a coating and cooked perfectly. We are sad this is for a few Fridays ending soon.“

“Delicious salad and drink!“

“Staff is friendly. Food is excellent! Best burger!! 5 stars“

“Wow! I had the chicken parm bomb….. holy smokes it was amazing! If you like hot cocoa please order it. I have never had hot cocoa this good. Amazing amazing amazing“

“The absolute best Thai-fusion food in the region. Their drunken rice/noodle and basil plates have no competition, not to mention the dumplings and squid appetizer. Worth every penny and occasional long wait, imo.“

“It was amazing, they treated us like royalty and spoiled me for my birthday. We've been eating smaller meals lately and having such variety come at a slow pace for us to share was delightful. They even had a gluten free dessert and sang!!! The ONLY critique I have is that they should get cushions for the chairs.🤗“

“I visited this restaurant a few years ago and I kid you not, I think about the lobster poutine I ordered almost every day.

That coupled with the ocean view vibes makes this one of my favorite traveling memories, and I hope to return someday (I'm an Iowan so it may be awhile).“

“Me and my boyfriend went for our two year anniversary firstly the staff were amazing!! Came back to check on us multiple times and were so kind! The food was incredible. As people who usually go to our local steakhouse we felt very boujee lol we got the lobster risotto it was amazing my boyfriend’s favorite part of the meal! We got the beef Wellington as our main I didn’t even know meat could be that soft it was so good and the puff pastry was amazing the potato puree was so smooth I will say the vegetables on the side could be better but they are more for garnish(if I’m paying all that money I’m clearing that plate though) the star of the show was that Demi glaze it was so rich and flavourful. Very very filling! We were given a sticky toffee pudding cake for free for home as a gift for our anniversary! I can imagine how good it would have been had I eaten it warm at the restaurant. Overall amazing“

“Beautiful venue , way bigger than you’d assume… ballroom is awesome and perfect for big event. Catering crew is outstanding“

“Our waiter Andrew was the best!!! His service, advice on food and drinks was spot on!! The portions were great and the food was amazing!! Can’t wait to go back up there again!“

“Waitress was excellent. Food and drinks were wonderful as well. Decor was dark wood 70’s-80’s style but we loved the old school feel.“
