    Delicious scallops and risotto. Espresso martini flight was also delicious. Street corn app was very good and my family loved it. A+ from the kids as well. We will definitely be back!

    The food her is always amazing and the staff is always super friendly. But this last visit was over the top! Joe is the best server ever! That’s it. Hands down. He turned our 10 into an 11.

    My family and I just went here while on vacation and everything was top-notch. The food for both adults and kids was excellent and the waitress was very prompt and patient with our kids. The build-your-own-chicken sandwich option worked out well for me, and my wife loved both her salad and her margarita. Highly recommended overall.

    Our server was great, friendly and attentive. The food was OK on its own terms, but not exactly as advertised — we expected more vegetables with the yellowfin tuna and a wasabi presence that was non-existent. The atmosphere was a bit honky-tonk, not awful, but careless customers left appallingly large amounts of liquid on both restroom floors. Finally, it seems impossible to get a meal out in Mystic without 100-decibel serenades from Billy Joel, Michael McDonald and 10cc.

    Loved the pesto pasta with shrimp special! The Caesar salad was fresh, and the garlic bread was right out of the oven and very tasty. My girlfriend had the broiled cod with a baked potato and spinach and said it was excellent. Our server was friendly and attentive, and the drinks from the bar were also good. We will definitely come back the next time we are in Mystic.
