    Hello, Thanks for the feedback We posted on our website and all of social media that we were doing the Holiday Buffet as we do for Easter, Mother's day and Thanksgiving we do not open regular menu for those days. We are one of the only restaurants in Mystic that are open for those holidays as well. We posted the service charge on our menu online as well. With the troubling times finding good staff we want to reward them with proper tips sometimes on buffets that is difficult because people feel that they should tip 10% which causes our staff not wanting to work those days. We are very sorry that you were disappointed about anything. Although glad that you had good service and food We hope that you return and enjoy our summer menu which starts on May 26. Thanks again for the feedback

    Noise level due to 3 piece band made it difficult to converse, but everything else was great.

    Charming place with lovely water views. It was clean and the service was friendly. We visited on a Sunday night in April and it was quiet. I enjoyed a Caesar salad and the salmon. It was a generous portion and tasted amazing!

    My son and I went to dinner here on a saturday night. There was a party with live music going on downstairs. We sat in the sports bar, ordered drinks and dinner. We had the fish tacos and claim ravioli. They were both very good. They also have a nice happy hour selection. We plan to come back and try it out again when it's warmer and we can sit on the patio which overlooks the water.
