New American Restaurants near Stonington, CT

“Wonderful staff and amazing food! I’ve never had a bad experience. The use of local produce keeps the menu continually evolving, seasonal, and exciting.“

“We had a reservation for dinner on a Saturday night at 6 so no wait time to be seated. No issues finding parking, they have a small parking lot in front and in the back that is reserved for their customers and other shops in that building. Menu is upscale American overall everything was good. I was disappointed they were out of the mussels I was looking forward to trying those. Deviled were beautifully presented, hush puppies were delicious and the pan seared scallops were cooked perfectly.“

“Great local club. It’s been in great shape the last 2 years! Very good staff and lots of local members.“

“Sunday Fundays are the best!!!!!“

“Very good food & atmosphere. Only complaint is that the service was very slow. At least 30 minutes before our lettuce wrap/Korean beef appetizer came out. A salad with scallops & rice/ beans/ vegs with salmon came out another 15 mins after. $60 total for the 2 entrees.Bill came to around $90 with tip.“

“Food was delicious. 10/10. Would highly recommend and come back when I’m in the area. Service was friendly even tho I did take out. Everything was packed neatly and included utensils.“

“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“

“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.“

“Just a great place to enjoy complex flavor matching“

“It was good and flavorful with quality ingredients. I do plan on returning and maybe it was just the dishes that we ordered but I thought it could've been a bit more elevated for the prices. Like I said though we did enjoy it, the service was good and the atmosphere is nice right on the river.“

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

“Our server Randi was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. She is a real p.lus for your business. The firecracker shrimp was amazing.“

“Arrived in town and craving a good chowder. While here we also ordered the crab cakes and grilled swordfish. Done to perfection with excellent seasoning. Heirloom tomato and watermelon salad was a great starter. This hotel restaurant did not disappoint.“

“Our #1 favorite place to eat! Very friendly with outstanding food, and a wonderful atmosphere.“

“Graze is always the Best! Consistent, delicious and relaxing. We have Loved Graze RI since it opened, have been lucky to know staff and meet the owner who when seeing our enthusiam gifted my children Graze Swag! We drive 50min just to eat here, passing countless burger places and restaurants on the way. Its just THAT GOOD!!“

“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.“

“Megan was amazing! The best party event we had. It was so much fun, it ran so smoothly and kids had a blast! Thank you! I’ll def will recommend this place!“

“Coast restaurant and Ocean House were an amazing experience! Way up in our top 5, include most of the exclusive top NYC restaurants (Per Se, Le Cirque, Le Benardin, Del Posto, Oceana, Daniel, Les Celebrites, and too many other to name). A great way to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary! Beside the amazing attention and level of service (with several Prix Fixe menu ingredient modifications due to food allergies), we were blown away by Chef's cuisine and presentations. The Bluefin Tuna starter was a pièce de résistance, only outdone by the White Chocolate Pumpkin dessert filled with White Chocolate Mousse! Complementing the restaurant, was the amazing Ocean House exterior entry, lobby and lounge. There was a wedding in progress on the broad lawn, just off the ocean. And the ocean view from our window-side table was incredible, with beautiful evening sunlit surf slowly giving way to a rising near Full Moon thru dinner. It really was a perfect day after antiquing in the New London area and next-door Stonington, CT. Our only regret was rushing to finish, in order to catch our ferry back to LI! Next time we'll overnight at Ocean House to get the full experience in a more relaxed pace... PS. Writing this while nibbling on the amazing take-away treat box we got at the end of our meal!“

“Standard sports bar with pub fare, decent craft beer selection and my mom's favorite wine. It's been up and down here with food and service speed but on my last visit (5/4/23), the food came quickly and looked really solid. I didn't eat but had a few craft beers. Bartender isn't the most knowledgeable on the craft offerings but the selection is good! Came for trivia on a Thursday evening.“

“It is a great place to dine and enjoy yourselves!🤗🌼🌼🤗“

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

“Wanted to give you a well deserved compliment! Ordered a couple pizzas tonight and they were absolutely delicious. Thanks for delivering hot pizza on a cold night!“

“We ate 4:30PM June 26th 2025 enjoyed the food service was great and friendly we will be back soon Anne and Jack“

“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.“

“Great. Love the patio dining and the Avalon Swan“

“Catering plans for my daughter's birthday party fell apart the DAY BEFORE the party. Tony and the Pizza Lady bailed us out and provided great food (at a great price) with less than 24 hours to deliver. Amazing. I am impressed, grateful, and fully endorsing Pizza Lady as your next caterer (or movie-night Pizza Party).“

“I chose to have the New York Steak, Brussels sprouts, and hazelnut tart pastry. If you are looking for a hearty selection, my option was very satisfying from the proportion, to timeframe, to presentation, to taste. The atmosphere was exceptional, and the staff were exceedingly professional.“

“Sam behind the outside bar is so fun and personable!!! We enjoyed some delicious cocktails and conversation ! Thank you Sam !!!“

“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.“
