   Our server was amazing and the food was even better! The weather was lovely and for our 3:45 reservation, we were able to sit outside and it was one of the best views of Mystic. I’ve lived here over 20 years and grew up walking around Mystic- you don’t see the bridge, but then you don’t have to deal with the traffic either.

   Food was good, and very good potions, could be more variety on menu but we found something acceptable, service was ok but not offered bread until we asked for it at which two small rolls were served. The biggest problem was noise level. Bar singer was quite loudly heard from dining room.

   I was not aware when I made the Reservation that only a buffet was available and that the menu was not an option. The buffet was very over priced, $63/per person for the quality and variety of food offered. The service was terrible. We hardly saw waitress and once I had my check it took over 30 minutes for anyone to come back while 5 servers stood chatting at the hostess desk. Very disappointed, we will not be returning, and I would not recommend to anyone.

   Small, basic ceasar salad with "shaker" parmasan cheese. Added 4 scallops for a total of $24. Not a good value. Other guest had shrimp tacos that were good and cost less than the boring salad. Ate outside, which was nice but loud large party made it a bit unpleasant. Nothing special. Plenty of choices in Mystic.

    We went for drinks and apps on Saturday night. The specials were really different and we got the crab stuffed pretzel, and fried whole sardines, both were SO good and it's hard to find sardines so my husband was happy. We also had the lobster nachos, we always get them because they are always so good and I had a mystic mule drink that was great while sitting next to the fireplace on a rainy night. There was a band and the bar was crowded and lively, even though it was raining. The manager Chris is a nice guy and always comes to say hello.

    The waitress we had was horrible, she was new and had no idea what she was doing. There was a band playing in the bar and you heard it in the entire restaurant so it made it almost impossible to have a conversation with the person I was with, even though we were seating far from the actual band it sounded like we were right next to it. They needed to have the band play much lower. This was supposed to be my Birthday dinner and it was the worst experience I have ever had. It was so bad from the time we sat down until the time we left, the manager comp'd our entire meal. The waitress was so bad that we didn't even leave a tip for her. If I am ever back in the area I would not go back even if they paid me to go eat there. The only positive thing with the whole experience was that the food was really good. I feel sorry for the owners of this restaurant because if the service and the loud noise from the band was better, I could see myself going back. Thank you for ruining my special day.

    Great time for dinner on Saturday night. An innovative drink menu, great pizza, and the clam chowder were excellent. There was even a live band. I'm glad we made reservations because a spot at the bar was hard to come by, but our reserved high-top was ready when we got there. Next time we're in Mystic, Rocks21 will be on our list again.

    Seated promptly by hostess, waited 20 min to be acknowledged by server. Not even a glass of water on the table for 27 min. 3 different waitstaff working one small room. Lobster bisque was super salty. Live music was super loud. We were in a separate room downstairs and still couldn’t hear each other at the table. Wait staff wasn’t properly supported by management or each other.

    They would not let us in for a table, they said they had no tables at 6:21 so we stepped outside the establishment, made a reservation for 6:30. We turned around & walked back in to tell them we booked the table & they reluctantly sat us after saying we should not have even been able to make a reservation. Seemed like we were not welcomed in.

    The pros: The hostess and our server were great - very attentive and friendly. The view is wonderful - I'm sure it would be great to sit outside in the warmer months. The cons: live music for Sunday Brunch was very, very loud, and sadly, the music was not very good or conducive to brunch. Lobster Benedict was lacking in flavor and seasonings - the only thing that saved it was all of the flavor from the home fries... although they were fairly mushy, they packed a ton of flavor. It was also to be served with avocado but wasn't. I love a good Bloody Mary and usually get a few but this bloody wasn't worth another try, the mix tasted like nothing more than tomato juice with a tiny bit of horseradish. Any one of my peeves is having to ask for salt and pepper; if not on the table all the time they should at least automatically come out with the meal set-up. The price point was just fine, no complaints there. We will give it another try for lunch and see if more stars are warranted.

    Generally we are happy to go to Rocks 21 to hear music & dine. Since we had an accepted 'counter' reservation, that was our plan. Upon arrival, the front desk confirmed that our counter reservation was the bar, however, there were no seats available nor was any food being offered in the Bar/Dining Room. We could, however, go to a separate dining room. We ended up leaving which was the reason for the low ratings. ROCKS 21 needs to inform customers of special situations such as this.

    I took My husband for brunch for his birthday. It was 3/19/23. The view was spectacular. Our waiter was very friendly. The Bloody Mary was delicious. That’s the positive part. The food was absolutely awful. My husband ordered hash with scrambled eggs and American cheese. The corn beef hash was from a can. The scrambled eggs came out so dry and with a cold piece of American cheese laid on top. Not melted, not mixed in with the eggs, cold just thrown on top of the dried out eggs. I could Not believe was a saw. He got 1 piece of toast and no home fries. He would not let me say anything because he felt bad for the waiter who also looked appalled. I ordered The scallop tacos. The soft tortillas were 3/4 full of a soggy coleslaw with 2 scallops on top. I just Couldn’t believe it. Anyhow, this is my review and We are not very happy to have spent $65.00 for a horrible meal.

    GET THE CALAMARI! It is so good with the little bit of spicy mixed in. We also had mussels, pretzels, burgers and flatbreads. The Rocks21 burger is really good too, we liked the boards that they came out on an the pretzels are on a fun hanging rack. There was a band in the bar and it was a lot of fun to be there, great energy! Candy the hostess was really friendly and nice.

    On our way to Boston and stayed in Mystic area. Wanted something by water. We sat in bar area with a great two man band playing. It was the week after St Patrick’s Day so I chose the Rueben which was excellent and my wife had the fish tacos which she said was top notch. She considers herself a fish taco expert so her review means something. We also started with the corn beef egg roll which was also great. Service was around when we needed them and vert friendly.

    We went for dinner on Saturday night, this is one of our favorite spots. the specials were so good, we3 had the seafood crepe and we had the pizza specials. they had a pizza chef making different kinds at their pizza oven in the bar, we had the Brussel sprouts/bacon and a margerita. And we shared the beet salad for an appetizer. Dan Watson (local favorite!) was playing in the bar and it was such a fun and happy environment. We also had some of their new drinks, the Mystic mule is really good!

    We had a high table (bar area by band) reservation for 6:15. We have made this reservation many times before. As we arrived on time, the hostess said we would have to sit in the other dining area as the bar was full. After 5 minutes they gave us a table. Later the hostess then asked for my name to check it off the list, and this isn’t the first time we have had table issues. Bottom line: fix the reservation process or don’t take them.

    We went for Valentines Day. Had reservations for 6:45pm, did not get our salads until after 7:30pm and meals were served after 8pm. Server was no where to be found most of the night and didn't check in at all while we waited for so long. One of our meals was incorrect. They "ran out" of certain things, but then they magically appeared later on when we complained. They tried to pass off a cut in half sirloin for filled mignon. We will never go back after the experience we had that night.

    We went for dinner on Friday and ordered from the Valentine's Menu, it was $100 for both of us, what a deal! Great apps, we had tomato soup and beet salad with the cute heart designs , then we got surf and turf, the stuffed shrimp were awesome the filet was a nice size and my hubby could cut it with a fork, the presentations was spot on. It also came with appetizers (bacon artichokes) we took them home and had dessert and champagne. We had a nice quiet table by the fireplace and had an after dinner drink in the bar where there was more of a lively scene with live music. This place never disappoints! we can't wait for the summer to sit outside and have dinner.
