We affectionately termed these "discount meat nights." The Cafe's $10 burger and fries on Monday nights is easily the best Discount Meat Night deal around in 2026. Don't get me wrong, I still love High Hope's $20 smash burger and beer on Wednesdays, but The Cafe's killer au poivre burger and fries for $10 is just a monster deal. The cost-taste ratio is off the charts. It was tough to get a good picture of the burger in the vibey bar room, but check out their Instagram for some drool worthy shots: @thecaferi

Visited for dinner without reservation after nearby troll trip. Enjoyed the ambience of the…read morerestaurant. It was yakitori night so we started with some chicken and pork belly. Took a while to arrive. The pork belly was exquisitely rendered with beautifully charred skin and tender meat. Lobster roll served warm was very good, the lobster was a little overcooked but still a highlight. Buttermilk Fried Chicken had super crisp skin and was executed and presented perfectly, great tasting together with the accompanied pickled vegetables and hot-honey butter. The best dish of the night. Sticky toffee pudding was as good as advertised: sticky, textured, with interesting mouthfeel offset by lightly whipped cream. Tequila based El Mariachi was tasty and balanced but not memorable.

Being my first time here I was pleased with the view as it was a lovely day to be by the water. We had a 45 minute wait for our table. Though you're able to go to the bar seating around in the back where we waited for our table. We ordered our delicious drinks as we had a wait time. I ordered the pain killer drink which was so delicious and strong. Only drinks and can't order appetizers though which I was disappointed as I didn't have anything to eat prior and I started to feel my drink. Once your buzzer is called you finally get your table which they have 15 tables available. The hostess in this area escorts your party to your table. There really isn't a bad seats there. There is a separate waitress for the bar area so you have to settle your bar table before moving over to your table. The menu has a plentiful of meals to choose from. I went with the fish & chips which was a good amount of cod. Also we had the oysters to start off with. The food was very delicious. We declined with the deserts as we were full. If you haven't been to the Dog Fish Cafe you should as you won't be disappointed with the fresh seafood they serve there.

Warmly summer day, sitting outside under the umbrella and watching the comings and goings of the dock. Awesome! We had a wonderful lunch. Local made brew offerings were a nice compliment to the bay scallops, which was a filling meal with veggies and potatoes. The Tuna Poké bowl was so tasty, I wish there was more! And a blueberry crisp special was shared by all. We will make the trek here again!

We had a lovely dinner here three years ago, What a shocking disappointment on our return trip…read moretonight. The restaurant and the entire property are beautiful. And our waiter Iggy was a delightful and attentive server. My wife's sea bass was delicious. And I have little else to say that's positive. I had the toro appetizer. It was tough, chewy, and drowned in so much marinade you couldn't taste anything else. I honestly didn't know toro could even be chewy. Sent back the first order thinking it was cut wrong. Second was just as bad. And they didn't take it off the check. Lobster pappardelle was nearly flavorless -- void of seasoning -- and I needed a magnifying glass to find the lobster in this dish. There were numerous service mistakes that I won't detail here. Suffice to say it feels like nobody is managing the dining experience. I've had better service in most diners than we had here. With so many great restaurants in the area, you'd be better off driving by, taking some pictures, and going almost anywhere else. (Try Ella's. It's a gem.) Believe the one-star reviews posted here. I'd do the same if not for our excellent server and my wife's entree. But we left wishing we'd just ordered a pizza.

We spent a long weekend here and could not have made a better choice. We had a joint suite with our…read morefriends, which was clean and comfortable, and also featured an elevated balcony that we loved using for late night hanging out. We dined and had drinks at the restaurant twice; highlights were the jalapeño margarita and the clam chowder. They even managed to modify a fried calamari to be gluten free, and that was exceptional too. Shoutout to our bartender Kristina for taking great care of us. Even if you aren't staying on site, the restaurant is worth visiting. My fiance and I loved our stay here, and even managed to take beautiful photos on their beautiful property. We love the General Stanton Inn!

We stumbled upon Little Kitchen while vacationing in Mystic for Father's Day, but I can promise you…read morethis won't be our last visit Little Kitchen was the cure for our Father's Day weekend hangover. First, Emily was phenomenal. From taking care of the kids to tour-guiding us through the menu, she felt like a warm hug when we needed one most on a day with a headache. This place is where a greasy spoon meets Grandma's kitchen, with a talented chef working a flattop that's been seasoned by years of flavor. The Eggs Benedict? A must-order. 12/10. "Oh boys." And who doesn't love a mimosa bar? It's absolutely worth the wait. Get there early if you can. If you do end up waiting, you're sitting in an awesome marina. Take the boys to check out the million-dollar fishing boats--they'll love every minute of it. #NoBadDays

Not knowing the changes in the menu very well but was very nice. They had a small but nice wine selection which I thought odd because their name has "BAR" in it. The food was very delicious and well presented. My only wish is that the Sea bass plate was small, and they could easily have thrown a couple of fingerling potatoes on the plate and made it perfect. All in all our dinner and experience was very nice and I would definitely recommend it and return myself. I would like to come back and stay in the inn. It is very beautiful there. I would have given 5 stars if the few minor issues mentioned were addressed. This really is a wonderful place the dine!
