“My family and I stopped by specifically for the lobster rolls. Unfortunately, it was the end of a busy night. Holly and Dallas were very apologetic. Because they didn't want to shortchange the lobster orders, they offered wings and fried fish. Lemme tell you! Everything they brought out was delicious!!! We came back the next day to get to go orders to take back to NY. My 3 year old has been asking for lobster rolls ever since. A+ customer service and amazing food. I'll definitely be back!“

“Parking across street large lot. Chairs tables front of restaurant before you walk in. Bathroom to right as you walk in. Hostess to left. Get a seat closer to the bar area. Views are magical. Outside another dozen or more tables and a bar. So no need to worry about space. But as the season kicks in make a reservation. Prices are inexpensive for the shore. Food is excellent. Drinks prices reasonable. Good beer choices and mixed drinks.“

“Many restaurants will charge high prices to create an aura of quality and fine dining, only to disappoint when it comes down to eating. Shipwright's Daughter is not that place. The prices are on the high side but wow, do they deliver. Four adults, four very different entrees and everyone left with all smiles. My beef strip loin was cooked perfectly and everything that accompanied it was tasty. Some signature cocktails were discounted for the 5 - 6 pm happy hour and were, again, delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive without overtaking the conversation. If your taste buds deserve a holiday this place is worth a visit.“

“We arrived at the restaurant around 7pm without reservations and were seated immediately (Thursday night in late April). The dining area faced the waterfront, looking clean and classic. Service was fast, courteous, professional and friendly, attentive without being smothering. We ordered bread which is made on site, warm and delicious; entrees included the Seafood Squid Ink Pasta and a glazed salmon and black bean risotto special. Both were cooked perfectly and very tasty. Portion size was good. Coffee was a little bitter; i usually take it black but found myself wishing for some sugar. Desserts were carrot cake and creme brulee which were ok. The small parking lot was full, but we found street parking. Prices were medium high, ok for a special evening out.“

“We traveled to this area to visit Connecticut College and wanted a place on the water and we chose On the Waterfront! I think every seat in the place has a great view of the water. We started with clams casino and a house salad and both were delicious. We had Cod Mediterranean and Scallops in a pancetta sauce over pappardelle pasta. The cod was juicy and tasted amazing and the scallops were cooked perfectly in a delicious sauce. Our server was lovely and attentive to all our needs. The only thing that disappointed us was our meals came out and our appetizers were not finished so therefore I did four stars instead of five.“

“We came to mystic for a weekend trip with our 4 children. I googled places for breakfast and kitchen little came up. I am so thankful we went and checked it out, it is in such a beautiful spot, we walked down by the water while we waited 5 minutes for a big table, the food was delicious, everyone was so welcoming, staff was amazing! I already want to go back for the eggs Benedict. And from ages 13, to 1 all my kids ate. Definitely check this place out if you’re in the area“

“Wedding photographer, Mystic local, and food lover here...Oyster Club is the best restaurant in Greater Mystic for sure. I've been with my wife for a few special occasions but have also photographed a wedding celebration here.Chef Renee and company know what they are doing. If you're anything like me, you'll love the uniqueness of everything Oyster Club has to offer, from the the dishes to The Treehouse. This is New England fine dining at its best.If you're in the area (and even if you're not; just make a reservation and plan a drive), you have to stop for a meal at Oyster Club!“

“Excellent atmosphere, service, libations and fare! Where else can you go to a Colonial Tavern-Restaurant that was built before the American Revolutionary War. I have been coming for years and have found that it’s gotten better if anything! Fireplace in the bar is great. It’s my favorite in Mystic CT.“

“Food was overall good. Went for the clam fritters and they were incredibly disappointing. Fritter was WAY too tough and made it a chore to chew. We didnt finish them because they were that bad. There was very little clam inside. Definitely would NOT order again. My husband got the whole belly clams and they were fresh and delicious but not cheap. Worth it in my opinion. I got the shrimp po'boy and it was good, but I didn't love the bread (very chewy and seemed to overpower the shrimp).“

“Sat at the bar and had a happy-hour appetizer, mussels, and clam strips. All were great! Scored a reduced price on our drinks as well. It's Right downtown on the main street near the bridge. Kind of dark inside and not sure if outdoor seating is an option...but afterall we were there in April.“

“Our waiter, Brian, who was also the hostess and bus boy at the time, was amazing! He was helpful, took his time explaining the menu with us and one of the best waiters we've had. The calamari was hot and delicious, and my fish tacos were delicious. We would certainly go back if we are ever in the area, so hats off to the chef and Brian. Thank you for a wonderful lunch experience!“

“Great people working here! Actually friendly and welcoming. Ordered a pizza for pick up and ordered one when we got there. With no hesitation they made it and offered plates and napkins to go. Staff were super friendly. My mom recommended this place as we are visiting from out of state and it’s a win!“

“Great food, great quality, consistently delicious.I’m partial to the chicken plate which includes hummus, tabbouleh, fatoosh and grilled chicken with a roll of pita. I usually add on a few stuffed grape leaves as well, and this gets me 2 meals.“

“MY GOSH. I’m GF and this place was SO. GOOD. Here visiting my husband and I was blown away by the fact we could get authentic Chinese food that not only was AMAZING but also safe for me. That’s so rare! I love this place and I wish I lived here just so I could make it a weekly thing!“

“When we were booking our stay at the Mohegan Sun, I wanted to make reservations for somewhere special and I picked the MJ steakhouse. The MJ steakhouse did not disappoint. Their team of hostesses and waiters were awesome. I had a few of their "air" -spressos (pic attached) which were delicious. My bf and I shared the Flight 23 and an order of their mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. All of the meat was cooked to perfection and the sides were delicious as well. Their special dessert of the night was creme brulee and it was to die for! Highly recommend this place!“

“We have visited the place varios times and the food is incredibly good, it is served hot and in good combination of tastes. The personal is always asking if the could help in any way, and very courteous. The price is the "jaquemate" of this eating journey. We strongly recommend this.“

“I took my grandmother to Irenes for the first time and it did not disappoint. Food was great, service was excellent. The restaurant itself is not a bad place. If you want a good meal at a decent price, I recommend going to Irenes. I plan on doing a food review for my YouTube channel in the future.“

“Stephanie one of the owners is so charming and creates such a friendly atmosphere here. You can feel the buzz when you come in. My Stonington fluke was a stomach shot back my days living in this delightful village. And friends loved their tuna. Yummy. Keep it going guys. You do a great job.“

“4/21- current lobster roll price is $30. Got the Connecticut style one simply due to the fact that hot butter lobster rolls are superior to mayo based NE ones.The lobster roll was delicious but I thought it couldve has more lobster in it. Overall would recommend“

“We were a group of 5 in bit of rush to catch the ferry but came across this as we wanted to grab a quick bite before the ferry. Melora at Little Galapagos was the most fantastic server. She was amazingly helpful with the menu, quick with drinks and food, and went way above and beyond on service level. This was a completely random find for us and we were so glad we came here. Thank you Mel!“
“Im not surprised most of the other reviews are 5 Star. Let me explain something for the public:I have been an Oyster Fisherman for about 12 to 13 years. Most of that was been working for or contracting with Norm Bloom & Son. I’m pretty sure these guys are a subsidiary or contracted with them. The process from beginning to end of growing these oysters is outstanding and no one does it like we do. We lay down shell we’ve caught over the winter from ground we have mostly emptied(we use a suction boat retrieve the shell stock thats left) every July.There’s one week roughly in July the spawn are released from the Oysters and they sit in the water column. When we wash off the shell into the water, on its way down the spawn attach to the shell. That area is left to grow and we come back and dredge them up when they’re thumbnail sized. Those get shifted out from shore further and then quite some time after that they are moved to Norwalk and two weeks after that they are harvested, processed and bagged and pushed to restaurants like these(owned by us or normal restaurants).This process has an amazing heritage going back to the 1800’s and also, NO other shellfish is as tasty, well textured and nutritious as a shellfish from icy cold winter waters like we have here in CT. Our clams, oysters and even mussels(though they are mostly grown elsewhere as they’re problematic to grow here in the sound) I can say with certainty and authority are the BEST shellfish product you can possibly obtain in this country. Im assuming they can only be rivaled somewhat by our brothers in shell fishing over in Washington and Oregon and then maybe Europe, Scandinavia and Russia with their beautiful Shellfish resource.So ladies in gentlemen, in short and the reason I have made this review is so you all understand how blessed WE all are to have access to such a beautiful, RICH heritage and have the ability to TASTE that heritage, reap its benefits and understand why this product is superior.We are surely lucky, as many in the world will never have access to nor taste what amazing shellfish we have and if they do, it is subpar, warm water shellfish. Those waters are only good for spiny lobster, snapper and a few other fish species as far as taste and quality but the far northern and deep deep southern arctic and antarctic zoned sea food resources are a superior source to all other sources of seafood product I can assure you.Be thankful for the men (AND women more often these days!) who go out in the cold and in the heat, suffering long hours and a lot of sacrifice to their personal time and families to make sure that the companies and restaurants are well stocked with the highest quality product. Its a hard life and we do it because we love the water. Shellfish is Connecticuts greatest natural resource! Be proud of your home!Thanks for reading all!“
“What a busy place. Be prepared to wait. Everyone waiting was friendly and the staff was attentive. Did take out and called ahead. It will take longer to park and get in than it took to cook the food . Fish n Chip were worth the wait. Too bad the fries were just Cold, ? We will come by again.“

“Well we started off with staying down at the mystic Marriott hotel in spa Looking for some places to eat and we hit Google then Yelp and Ryan's pub came up So we took a drive we couldn't find the place it's actually a little hole in the wall pub/bar next to a smoke shop, the food was excellent we had some bang bang shrimp, I had a bacon barbecue Burger With a couple Of Jack and cokes and my significant other had like a seafood platter & I will say the food was great. I wish I had gotten some pictures of the food as it was the last thing on my mind. The Atmosphere is like a pub/bar & friendly So don't be afraid of that I definitely recommend this place, Hit them up for lunch or dinner But either way I can say the food was awesome better than most restaurants.“

“The menu was limited. I got the 3 course meal, scallops for appetiezer, beef wellington and lobster tail for the main course, and the desert was a pudding. The person i was with got a burger and cheesecake for desert. Everything was cooked perfectly, even the fries The beef wellington was great, im not a huge fan of the dish but it was worth it. My friend enjoyed their burger. We really loved the deserts! I would go back again.“
