Came here on a Monday morning a little before 9 am and there was a line. It wasn't too bad. And…read morehonestly, it's worth it. The line was out the door, but that's because its kind of a smaller line space. When I got to the front, there were 2 people taking orders, so they're trying to keep the line moving. I ordered the bowtie croissant that had blackberry jam inside and an ebbieoche. Along with an espresso for my husband and a blueberry lemonade for me. Once I got my items, I went outside to sit on their front porch/patio area with my husband and pup. The blueberry lemonade was really good. Very sweet. It had like bits of blueberry in it as well. And it js MASSIVE. Kind of a steal. The bowtie croissant was SO good. They make sure its filled to the brim with jam. And it was good jam. The croissant itself was fantastic. It was a little thicker to make sure the jam didn't immediately spill out, and that was genuis. I loved it. It was exactly the top of croissant I wanted with jam. The ebbieoche was delicious. Husband loved the cinnamon and sugar. We ate all of it. They had a good amount of pastries and everything was beautiful. I would 100% come back and stand in line.

I went with the almond croissant, a sea salt chocolate chip cookie, an oatmeal blueberry cookie, and a hot coffee. I was fairly disappointed in the sweets - the croissant was almost like a cream puff, not a lot of almond flavor. The cookies were okay, I might have set my expectations too high! I'd come back but would probably get other things next time.

So that means everyone loves Nana's. Which means that, on a very rainy weekend early afternoon, we ended up waiting quite a long time to order and then to get our food but ... I suppose it was worth it (this is high praise coming from someone who almost never believes waiting in a long line is actually worth it). My friend and I split the spicy Caesar kale salad as a starter. I cracked up when I saw "massaged kale" as one of the ingredients. But all jokes aside, this was one of the best kale salads with abundant dressing and, in lieu of croutons, breadcrumbs and cashew parmesan. It tasted pretty indulgent and rich but you can certainly fool yourself into thinking it's actually healthy. I got the tomato sandwich plus bacon (so a BLT without the L) and it was pretty good, though I do wish they cut the bread a little thinner so I could pick it up and eat it as a sandwich. As it were, I just used my knife and fork - certainly more civilized. The pizza was also not bad, though I wish there were some more of the toppings - heard it's leagues better than Mystic Pizza. There are a few tables inside but be prepared to wait. When it was peak rush hour, there were two lines inside, one for the bathroom and one to place an order. Even though they were so slammed, the staff couldn't be friendlier. Our waitress in particular came by often to see how we were doing. Parking lot also filled up. We parked in the Mystic train station and then walked over.

Food came out pretty fast around 20 minutes after ordering.

Today, We had a decent…read more lunch at Bravo Bravo--the crab cakes were delicious, we enjoyed our salad and cappuccinos martinis and our server was wonderful. Unfortunately, our experience was significantly affected by the hostess, Mariah. When we arrived, we were seated directly next to another party in a restaurant that had many open tables. We politely asked if we could move to the adjacent table for a little more privacy. Mariah told us that table would be needed for a larger reservation, which we completely understood. However, just a few minutes later, another couple was seated at that very table. I have worked as a hostess myself and understand the importance of strategic seating and managing reservations. What was disappointing was being given an explanation that clearly wasn't accurate. When you are paying premium prices for a dining experience, you should also feel welcomed and comfortable. All the tables next to us remained empty yet we were privy to all the conversations so close to us (the small tables are very close together) Because of this interaction, we decided not to stay for dinner and instead had a few appetizers before leaving. It was unfortunate because the food was good and our server provided excellent service. With a more welcoming and honest greeting from the hostess, our experience could have been very different. We will be going to one of many other options next time!

My sister and I both had burgers that were OK however, mine did have some grizzly in it and the clam chowder I believe was somewhat flat and needed some help. The service was OK and that's about the only thing good that I can say about the place after this last visit. Needless to say it goes on the bottom of my list of restaurants to eat at in Stonington.

On our way to Newport from the Bridgeport Ferry we wanted to stop for breakfast / lunch…read more I suggested Mystic Diner. It was packed when we arrived with hardly any parking spaces. We managed to find a spot. Unfortunately when we came out someone had parked behind us in a non spot and blocked us in! That's not the diner's fault, of course, but watch out if you have to park in one of the corner spaces, which are clearly marked. People may pull in behind you. Surprisingly we were seated immediately. I suspect some of the parking was for the art fair across the street! Mystic Diner what you'd picture of a typical diner - but extremely spacious inside and tons of outdoor seating on this beautiful Labor Day weekend. My friend and I split the lamb gyro and salad while our other friend had this amazing stuffed French toast with bananas. The portions were huge and everything was reasonably priced. The service wasn't awful but it wasn't really above and beyond. They were very busy so I understand but our waiter never came to check on us after our food was served. Not a deal breaker. The food was excellent and the menu was very broad, with a lot of Greek options. It was hard to choose what to get. I was happy with the gyro and it was more than enough to share! Overall, I might go back but with so many great options in Mystic, I may want to try someplace else next time. This was pretty comparable to any Long Island diner. If you're visiting a state without a true diner experience and you're in Mystic, this is worth a stop! I'm sort of surprised it only has 3 stars. I'm giving it a solid 4. Easily in the top 5 of best diners in the northeast that I've tried! (Oconee on Long Island would be closer to the top!)

I am new to the Mystic area and…read moreseeing that this restaurant rated so highly I was excited to order some takeout with my daughter after moving some things into our new apartment. Ordering was very easy online, even though the prices seemed a bit high. We ordered $109 worth of food...Arancini ($16), garlic bread with cheese($16), Penne al Vodka with sautéed chicken($32), and the Alfredo with chicken cutlet($38). I was expecting a lot for prices like these. The Arancini were 5 pieces the size of golf balls and the flavor was ok, not worth $16, out garlic bread with cheese ($16) was left out of our order, the penne vodka with sautéed chicken ($32) was dry and there were 5 small pieces of chicken, and the baked penne chicken Alfredo had broken sauce, full of grease and almost inedible...I threw out most of it. I expected so much more from this establishment. The parking lot was packed and parking just to get takeout was challenging, but the food and prices were amazingly disappointing. We may try their pizza to see if that is any better, but I would not recommend the pasta dishes. I can see charging g prices like that if the pasta was homemade, but even that is a stretch. 3 stars is generous

And if your reply is you'd never go to a chain, there's probably not much more to discuss. I've quipped that I can't make an autobiographical movie because Todd Solondz would sue me for plagiarism but part of my founding narrative was an overly simplistic take on cities vs. rural areas. If Twitter existed when I was 14 my account would have been the most vitriolic assortment of anti-NYC videos. (California tumbles into the sea, that'll be the day I go back to Fresh Meadows). After years of Mellencamp-fueled thoughts of farms and trees, I actually got to spend some time in the country and eventually realized I'm more of a faux-rural type. For example: I like the hiking trails and dark skies in New Paltz but I'm glad you can get there by bus or buy a coffee at 2AM. In recent years I've been on a Mystic kick. I like the crickets, stars and unexpected animals (well, not that fox that seemed weirdly unafraid of human contact). But I'm also glad that iced Americanos are a short walk away. The beverages have been perfect and the service has been friendly every time. I certainly appreciate the existence of the outdoor seating even if I didn't choose it on this late-September excursion. Just like my local JC branch, the Yelp rating here is out-of-whack. As baristas are drawn into dumb political sagas and forced to comply with more corporate rules, I appreciate their hard work.
