A solid restaurant in Mystic. Their clam soup is the best I’ve had! Lots of good flavors! The beet salad was delicious and they kindly split it for us. The seafood pasta was good but a little heavy. I wasn’t expecting it to have a cream base. It did have lots of seafood in it

Came in here to have some food and drinks while enjoying downtown Mystic! Sat in a booth in the bar area and was immediately greeted by the waitress who was friendly and stayed on top of things the entire time as well as the support staff who also came by the table. Everything here is made from scratch and they use local seafood and even tell you about it and where it came from! The chilled shrimp is the best we’ve ever had! The clam chowder was extremely delicious and tasted very authentic and hit the spot so we even ordered a second cup! We did try a lobster roll as it’s a popular menu item however it wasn’t for us, probably just our preference. The bread was good on the roll, again, just our preference so if you like Lobster try it! All the drinks were good and they had a large selection. Even the margarita had flavor of the day options, I tried today’s flavor which was passion fruit! Very clean restaurant and friendly staff! Highly recommend! We’ll be back!

Excellent! We tried this spot for dinner while visiting the town for the day. We were able to get seated right away. Our server was great. I definitely wanted to try seafood since we were on the east coast. I had clam chowder and the scallops. Both were delicious! The scallop dish was seasoned perfectly, very generous portion and I especially loved the corn risotto it was served on. Highly recommended this spot!
