The Colonial period buildings of Olde Mystick Village offer a few tasty seafood restaurants, historical atmosphere and a multitude of unique gift shops.

From restaurants with plenty of crayons and kid's menus to hotels with puppet shows and bedtime story hours, everything about Mystic is geared toward children, making it a fun and educational family getaway. And for adults, the nearby Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casino complexes are a sure bet for entertainment.

Lots of people flock to Mystic Pizza because of the movie but the best pizza in Mystic is at Pizzetta. Love their thin crust and outdoor dining patio. I have eaten there many times and have never been disappointed. My favorite is their meat lovers pizza. Itâs a carnivoreâs delight.

It was our first time at the new location and I have to say it didn't dissapoint. The decor, atmosphere, menu and the staff were all top notch...especially our server Margaret. We were warmly greeted at the door and all the way thru to dessert we were given the best service. The food was amazing. It was well prepared and presented. We were pleased with the apps (whipped goat cheese was amazing), and all of our entrees. I highly recommend stopping in. We will definitely be back!

Kitchen Little is about fancy. Kitchen little is about local color and local food, done in a simple, homey fashion. This is dinner overlooking the water with plain tables and simple food. This is the lobster is local, and you can taste it. Portuguese flavors, local seafood, and fresh eggs. The coffee is plain, the catsup is in a plastic squeeze bottle and you'll have the best 10 buch breakfast you can want.

My brother and his wife were up from Florida so we decided to go to Stonington and Mystic for the day. For dinner we decided on S&P Oyster. Initially we had planned on Bravo Bravo but it is closed on Mondays which we found out when we got there. S&P was crowded so we thought that was a good sign. My brother and I had the filet which was excellent (both of us wanted the strip steak but non available and it was 5:30 p.m. NOT GOOD) but the fried palenta side dish was disappointing - the menu had said stuffed baked potato???? The fried palenta looked good but was was essentially bland. Our wives both had fish and they both were pleased. The servers ( 2 for our table) were attentive but seemed annoyed everytime we asked a question or needed something which wasn't at all often. Not sure if they were having a bad night or what. Final evaluation - excellent food but thumbs down on the wait staff. Next time it will be Bravo Bravo.Hi Stuart, thank for your review, we are delighted to hear you enjoyed your food. We do strive to deliver the highest quality in both food and service so we are sorry to hear that the waitstaff did not exceed your expectations. I do hope that you will allow us another opportunity to impress you, you wonât be disappointed.

We enjoyed trying several different varieties of oyster and clam and comparing them with the stronger flavored New Zealand Bluff Oysters we are used to. Service was great. It is very popular so book in advance!

Went as a couple last Friday night to celebrate our anniversary. I can't comment on the food or drinks,but I can provide feedback on our awkward and uncomfortable experience. We walked and to check with the hostess and were asked if we had reservations. We said no , but don't mind if there's a wait. She actually rolled her eyes and said " Well, it's at least an hour wait!" We said that's ok and asked to place our name on the wait list. No problem we figured we'd have a drink at the bar. Bad idea! As soon as we walked in , not even taking a seat the man behind the bar tells us" There's Five People waiting for these Seats!" We hadn't even asked. He appeared to just kind of get in our faces as soon as we even dared to walk in. I've never felt so unwelcome and this did hurt my feelings. We are never turned down like this. I understand it being busy on a Friday night. But, we decided to go elsewhere not due to the wait time, but because we were uncomfortable about being served food by people who were so inconvenienced by our presence. Ended up going to Go Fish where we were welcomed and had great service,good food and awesome martinis, but that's another review.

My wife and I stopped in during an overnight stay in Mystic. I chose this restaurant based on the TripAdvisor reviews. This place is centrally located in downtown Mystic. It was a busy Saturday night, so it took about 30 minutes to get a table. The restaurant is clean and tastefully decorated. The manager was great. He was personable and professional. The server (Keely?) was very friendly, knew the menu, and was very efficient with her service. We ordered the clam chowder, fish n chips, and the Black fish special. All the food was tasty, but the chowder was one of the best I ever had (and I grew up in Massachusetts and vacation every year in Maine). The chowder was thick and well seasoned. I will return to the Mariner the next time Iâm in the area.We're so glad you enjoyed everything at The Mariner. We're pretty proud of our clam chowder here. Hope to see you again very soon!
