We tried the creole seafood chowder which was very flavourful and amazing esp on a cold stormy night ( which it was when we went )! Highly recommend! I also tried the hot lobster roll served with coleslaw and fries . Which again was very fresh and amazing esp! Highly recommend! And we also ordered the side of brussel sprouts to share and again everything was great ! I also enjoyed my tropical sangria ! Felt like I was somewhere warm and not in the middle of a rain storm ! Finally for dessert I got the bread pudding !! The presentation 10/10 , the flavours 10/10 and the waitress recommended a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side and it's a MUST !! Sooo good !! Best bread pudding I have ever had !!! Amazing food ! Great staff and great location in mystic !! Can't wait to be back !

Our server was attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely welcoming. The food was delicious, with great flavor and generous portions. Both the roasted oysters and the crispy fried oysters were the most memorable bites of the evening. They were delicate, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Our entrées were equally impressive and generously portioned. And to top it all off, the homemade limoncello was the perfect ending. It was thyme and chamomile flavored. We can't wait to come back!

The wine list is good. The coffee (bees knees I think) is outstanding. Parking is right behind. Ask for a window table to enjoy people watching.

Fairly busy Sunday afternoon but we were quickly seated at the raw bar with a great view of the kitchen, which BTW is a well oiled machined and fun to watch, not quite as crazy as the Bear, but impressive. Tuna tartar to start followed by some delicious cherrystones then we split the Mussels in coconut milk with lemon grass and cilantro and some amazing sour dough bread for dipping. 10/10!!!

We were pretty disappointed with our experience, especially as a family dining with a toddler. We…read morewere told by the host that they would bring us a high chair, but after waiting, our server eventually asked "do you want me to see if I can find a high chair?" We had the request in the notes of our reservation, so it's a shame they didn't have it set up for us when we walked in or at least upon sitting down. There's no kids menu, and the regular menu is very limited if you have a child with a food allergy. My son has an egg allergy, and there were barely any options for him. There wasn't even a simple chicken option on the menu. We ultimately settled on a grilled cheese because it was essentially the only thing that worked, and no one offered to modify something or suggest another option that could accommodate him. The service overall wasn't particularly attentive, which made the limited options even more frustrating. Unfortunately, the food itself also didn't live up to the hype for us. I understand not every restaurant caters specifically to families, but a little more attentiveness and willingness to accommodate a child with a food allergy would have gone a long way. Based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for families with young kids or dietary restrictions.

The staff quickly pivoted, made it right, and even comped our meal for the delay. Once the food arrived, it was fresh and delicious, and the great ambiance made it all worth the wait.

We wanted a seafood stand after the beach, Stopped here due to the great reviews- don't be fooled…read morelike we were, It's no longer called mystic oyster- it's called the salty pig- and offers mainly bbq pork, but despite the rebrand, restart or whatever happened- we stuck with it as there were still oysters and lobster rolls on the menu. Bad idea - we ordered 12 oysters and 2 lobster rolls, 105$..the oysters actually weren't bad, but nothing special, the lobster rolls were extremely salty shredded up lobster meat, no actual chunks, the grilled buttered roll was the best part, overall very small for the price - the sides were inedible- coleslaw was rotten, and stinky- the potato salad was extremely salty and loaded with dill. Avoid this spot if you're looking for a seafood takeout stand.

Another amazing dinner at The incredible S&P oyster House!…read more This has become our GoTo Place for family and special events. We spent Sunday evening on the deck overlooking the water and the bridge. It's a great place to bring family members who have not seen Mystic before, they get lots of great pictures and videos of the bridge going up and down. The folks on the Sabino all waived hi... so fun and funny! All right about the place... The food is always and I mean always amazing. My son had the steak cooked perfectly and they adapted the potatoes for him. His girlfriend had the chicken and it was incredible I had the scallops always my favorite and my wife had a baked seafood combination. Appetizers were prosciutto wraps scallops and artichoke dip! Wooow yum! We had the Willmette valley Pinot Noir. Dana was a consummate professional server. Anticipating our needs adapting the food as needed and all in all just a good person. She and the rest of the staff were so accommodating! If you want to have a memorable place full of great staff this is a restaurant for you!

But honestly, that's part of the charm. Such a fun and unique Mystic spot and definitely somewhere I'd go back to!

A very good COLD and traditional New England Lobster Roll…read more Excellent service, seating and facility. The staff is wicked awesome too. Prices are spot on, even though the place is way too touristy - trendy. Two sodas and two cold lobster rolls 90 bucks. Fair. The Lobster Rolls were done exceptionally well! IDE cold, and over flowing with meat. Great salted chips balanced the act. Word to the wise... they offer a Real Lobster Roll... the other is a fake... that crappy imitation meat you get at the Stop n'Shop. Caveat emptor. I'd definitely visit again.

We have been wanting to try this place for months, but timing didn't work out. We finally made it!…read more We came at an off-timing, around 5:45pm, so it was pretty quiet - which was great! We ordered a few things (probably a bit too much): - fish and chips (came with mermaid fries - which has a seaweed seasoning, good but we would have preferred them to be plain) - poor man's lobster roll - delicious! - smoked mussel soup and the green crab bisque - both were great! even better when we combined the two soups together - fried pickle chips - which is part of their happy hour special - which were really really good definitely would come back to try the other items on the menu! Great for kids as well, they do have some board games available while you are there dining.

To weather everyone's expectations, this place is super casual and that's part of the charm. We sat on picnic tables outside. Over the Fourth of July weekend, we started with a dozen shucker's choice oysters, then ordered one hot lobster roll and one cold for the ultimate taste test. Both were amazing, but the hot Connecticut-style roll won by a claw. Hot tip: Abbott's is BYOB, so stop at Universal Package Store on the way. If we're ever back in Connecticut, we'll definitely be back!

The food is abysmal, the service is haphazard and the ordering process is confusing, especially for first timers. We ordered at the window and were given a ticket. On the ticket is written "take to the big red counter" and it has our order number. We went to the "big red counter" as its labeled, but there were no signs or instructions that in order for our food to be cooked we had to turn in the ticket. After the fact is was explained to me that some people order, but want to enjoy the grounds first and wait to have their order prepared. That doesnt make sense to me, because you could enjoy the grounds, then stand in line to order, but it would have been nice to have some explanation of that. So we wait for our order, and only the chowder, baguette & shrimp cocktail come out, she says my number will be called again when the rest is ready. So my stuffed clams take another 10-12 and in the time im waiting my chowder is now luke warm. The chowder was passable, not great, but not horrible. The baguette was soft and not crispy, served cold with rock hard butter. The 6 shrimp were of varying sizes, only 1 of which would have been considered Jumbo. $14 for 6 is a bit of a stretch. The stuffed clams weren't cooked through, and the breading was still "soupy" in the middle. Not a place I would consider returning to.
