The ambience was a 10/10!! However the brunch was not great. Both of us ordered omelets and the eggs were rubbery and tough. The waiter was young and MIA so we just powered through. Mine came with an English muffin that I had to ask another waiter to find. The English muffin wasn't even toasted or warm. I had such high hopes.

The band, The Cartells were great!! Martinis were good. Only wish we had munchies like pretzels or popcorn on the table. If you wanted food you couldn't get it where we were listening to the band? Had to order and eat it upstairs.

Food was ok. Omelets were the best thing we ate. Selection of fruit was poor (melons with a couple of pineapple pieces), prime beef was over cooked, mashed potatoes, broccoli and salads were good. Meal overall was ok. Dessert table looked kind of sad. We are talking a $65 per person buffet. For that price we were expecting better quality food and more variety. Ambiance was nice (fireplace was on and view was great) and the waiter was attentive. Towards the end of our meal we told the waiter we were slowing down and I asked for a tea to eat with dessert. We waited a while for our check and next thing we know a lady working the front of the restaurant asked us to leave because we had stayed too long. At first I felt bad thinking we had kept some family waiting for their Easter brunch but no, there were plenty of tables available and no one was waiting to be seated. This really shifted our thinking we may give this place a second chance because maybe buffet was not their thing to saying there's no way we would go back and be treated with such disrespect.
The food was generally very good. The Chicken Marsala was excellent, the salmon was excellent, the shrimp and bacon flatbread was very good, but the Brie and Fig flatbread had neither Brie cheese or even the tiniest piece of fig. We ordered the short ribs, but evidently the last plate was served to the couple who came much later than us, but were served so quickly. When the kitchen realized there was none left, they apologized profusely minutes before all of the other meals came out, so the replacement meal came out when we were 1/2 way through our dinner. It would be a big improvement to put in a door to separate the bar and dining room when there is a loud band and partiers in the bar. It was tough to have a conversation. Very nice views of the water across the street.

Great food and good service. We enjoyed our early dinner. We loved the lobster nachos!! They are perfection! We both had the seafood carbonara and it was delicious. Drinks were also great.
I had a great experience. This is my second time here. I plan to return in the near future and share this gem of spot with friends. The CBD shot options were amazing! Mystic always delivers. I felt comfortable in this space and so did my guest.
Went for lunch on Saturday with our toddler after the aquarium and had the place to ourselves! Great view, staff was very friendly and warm, food was good! Surprised there weren't more people there.

The Prime Rib was excellent. A great value. Domenick is a fantastic waitress..always smiling and truly adds to the experience of the venue. The musician was also very talented. A great experience.

Our experience with Sunday Brunch was perfect! We ate in the dining room, instead of the bar (see below), and it was cozy and warm with the gas fireplace running. The view is outstanding, with southern views of the water. Our waitress was knowledgeable and attentive, checking in with us at the right intervals; otherwise just leaving us to enjoy our meals. The food was excellent (lobster benedict and a veggie omelet, both with spicy breakfast potatoes that got our attention!). The drink options are fun and creative. The crowd was small so the patron noise level was low in both the bar and the dining room. However, the live music being performed in the bar was loud. We could hear it in the dining room and the noise level there was fine. But diners should be aware that, if they choose to be seated in the bar when live music is being performed, the noise level could be uncomfortable and difficult for conversation. For others, it might be considered lively and fun.
Great views from the bar. Could be a bit warmer atmosphere but it is one of a kind in Mystic.

Honey Scallops were great!! Crab Cakes were awful and flavor was overpowered by the diced peppers. NY strip was over cooked. Fish and Chips bled water everywhere, tasted like chlorine and sent me running to the bathroom 4 times during the night. Service was fine but the place is clearly only open because it's next to the Inn

Staff was very nice, food was incredibly salty. Bar area was nice, went downstairs to the bathroom and there's a dingy basement bar area. Would not recommend, would not return.
