    One of my favorite places to grab breakfast when in Mystic... If you can get a table outside do it. The view is nice and you can see the boats floating by. It's basic breakfast with some twists and tons of options. The staff is great most have been with the restaurant for quite a while. It's a little off the beaten up ath but Worth a visit.

    Loved this breakfast spot! It was kinda hidden and had a great water view. Loved the lobster benny and the blueberry mascarpone pancake special! Would definitely suggest as a good breakfast spot to go to in the area and called ahead which was helpful!

    Such a great breakfast spot. Now located in a marina. A larger Location than the old one. With outdoor and indoor seating of the marina. Everything is fresh and tasty. The place gets packed so there could be a wait but it moves fast. Cinnamon roll French toast is a must if you have a sweet tooth.

    Glad I finally made it. Tried to go Sat and there was an electrical wire down that closed the one road there. I had better luck on Sunday. Arrived around 930am to a 30 min wait. It's a popular place. Everyone was friendly and welcoming- I noticed the host briefly stopping at tables to chat with guests by name as he returned to the host stand after seating diners. I figured they were regulars- but then he stopped at my table a few times and checked in with me, using my name. I was impressed. It was very busy but service was excellent. My eggs Benny and the side of fruit were delicious- got biscuits and sausage gravy to go. Huge menu selection. My server brought me a 'to go' cup with lid when she noticed I hadn't finished my iced tea. Little things like that matter. Cute place- would definitely go back. Highly recommend if you're in the Mystic area. Plenty of free parking.

    Kitchen Little is that ol' reliable that is always packed. Why? Because the only other breakfast joint in Mystic is the Mystic Diner. (Sift is phenomenal but I have a hard time classifying it as a breakfast joint.) It has a large, finely tuned menu with the occasional standout special. But while one walks away full, the flavors aren't that memorable. Service is typically fast, courteous, and with a focus on getting folks out the door to address the growing line outside. Thankfully they have some seating outside that overlooks the marina, which on a nice day is the place to sit.

    This place was as good as everyone else has written. Although it's not to say that some groups may have had not as good a time. The vibe is cool. It's a small restaurant and does have outdoor seating (although methinks some are saved for regulars. And rightly so!) Service was great. We chatted for awhile with our server (maybe too much ). Food was really good--really crispy bacon and the jalepeno hash browns, yum. Only objection came from the cinnamon swirl pancakes. My kid thought they were on the small side. My lobster benedict was delicious. Anything is better with more lobster but it was enough. The plate could have benefitted with a small salad or microgreens. Would definitely return!

    We'd heard from friends that Shipwright's Daughter in Mystic was a must-try. Wow, were they right…read more From the warm greeting at the door to the beautiful decor, the experience started strong. We were seated at a lovely table for two overlooking Main Street - watching people stroll by from that elevated perch behind glass felt almost cinematic. The real star of the show was the food, which is ultimately what you're there for, and it delivered. The menu offers plenty of options without being overwhelming. I started with the Crispy Pig's Head as an appetizer - a bold choice that turned out to be outstanding. For my entrée, the bucatini with seacoast mushrooms, sherry, parmesan, mushroom cream, and fine herbs was perfectly cooked, and carried a subtle but deeply flavorful sauce. And the housemade sourdough with poblano honey butter? Absolutely outstanding. To be fair, our server took a little time to warm up but found their footing and gave us everything we needed. Parking in Mystic on a busy weekend night can also be a challenge and expensive. Neither is reason enough to skip this one. Ship Wright's Daughter is exactly the kind of restaurant Mystic deserves. Don't wait for a special occasion -- just go.

    I really didn't want to write this review, but potential patrons should know what they can expect…read morewhen working with the event staff at Shipwright's Daughter - if they plan to have a private dining experience and event there. My husband and I got married last December. We decided we would hold off on celebrating with our family and invite everyone out from California to join us for a weekend full of activities in Connecticut and a special dinner at Shipwright's Daughter during Memorial Day weekend. We contacted the restaurant's events team to work out high level details starting in late January - to book a private room and hold a date and time. From the get go, the communication we received from the event staff was dismal to say the least. Not only did the events manager misquote the estimate for the room reservation, she came back and asked for a much higher price (up charging by an additional 30% of the original minimum fee) two months after we confirmed and discussed the date. She then explained it was due to the holiday weekend. Our date had never changed from the moment we inquired, so we would have appreciated knowing this upfront. Over the course of several months (and an absurd number of emails and a few calls), we tried to solidify the menu and wine selection and made multiple attempts before hearing back from the team. It was about two weeks before the big event when we were able to confirm a menu. It was about four days before the event that we heard back from the beverage director, but by then, my husband and I had already decided we would bring our own wine bottles, not wanting to leave it to chance with this team. I won't go into further details about the frustration we felt regarding their system for communications (they use an internal system that doesn't make it easy for guests to know who is copied on emails and who sees what). That is something I hope they will work out. When the big day came, I walked into the room and noticed there were a number of chairs missing, so I counted the chairs. They had an incorrect number of chairs for adults and not enough high chairs for the toddlers. We had requested a specific number of these chairs (weeks prior and mentioned it multiple times in writing), and I thought it was safe to assume that this was a basic checklist item for events set up. I was dumbfounded in the moment. I couldn't help but wonder what else they were going to miss or mess up that evening. It was disappointing to have our family members wait while the staff scrambled to pull other chairs into the room. From the time it took to take everyone's order from the set menu, the time between courses being served, and the attentiveness for pouring water and wine - all of it was a miss. The level of hospitality that we expected from a restaurant so recognized for its incredible food and approach to sustainable sourcing was completely overshadowed by the lack of attention and care by its staff - since day one of planning this event. Even a few of our family members commented on this during the dinner. At the end of the day, we felt like an obligation rather than welcomed guests, and that is mainly why I'm leaving this review. We had been patrons of Shipwright's a couple of times prior to this event, which is why we chose this establishment - to represent the best that Connecticut has to offer, when it comes to a dining experience we could vouch for. We no longer feel that we can recommend this restaurant. If you care about hospitality, I would recommend looking elsewhere.

There were a lot of intriguing options to choose from. I had the chilaquiles ($15) and a Cacio Pepe doughnut ($4). The chilaquiles had corn tortilla chips, salsa Verde, salsa Macha, cotija, white onion, cilantro, and a fried egg. The chips appeared to be homemade, and they were tremendous along with the salsa Verde and Macha. There was a nice kick to the salsas and a perfect crunch from the chips. However, it just felt like the dish was mostly chips. I felt like more toppings could be added or an additional egg. The fried egg was also a little overcooked, guess when ordering, we could have specified how we wanted it to be cooked. The doughnut was okay. The sourdough base was very solid, but essentially just a lot of cheese on top. I was not sure what to expect regarding this type of doughnut, but this was the least optimal choice. Will I go back? I would.

The food actually came out fairly quickly. The wife and I both got the grilled chicken sandwich with fries and my son got the French toast. I will admit, when my wife wanted to come here I really wasn't in the mood for anything I saw on the menu.

That all changed tho when food arrived because that sandwich was excellent and really hit the spot.

Will definitely go back. Price was reasonable as well. Oh!! Almost forgot about the bakery items. We got a chocolate chip cookie, a macadamia nut cookie and my son wanted macaroons. The cookies were awesome and I guess the macaroons were too cause my son ate them all and wouldn't share

The appetizer came out wrong and had to be sent back. When entrees came out, everyone at the table had food except me. My shrimp taco showed up 10 minutes later, clearly forgotten, and I was supposed to get four shrimp but only got two. Gone in one bite. When I brought it up, the manager didn't offer to remake it. She just knocked 50% off the price since I'd technically gotten "half" my shrimp. Not an apology, not a fix, just a discount calculated like a math problem. I've maybe written one review in my life. This experience was bad enough that I couldn't not write this one. Forgotten orders, wrong sides, missing food, and a manager who couldn't be bothered to actually fix it. We won't be back.
