    This place is just okay. With that said, I came here as it is a top rated brunch spot, and I love a good brunch spot. There's an extensive menu and a small interior. They do not take reservations, so it's possible you'll be waiting for a while. You may also wait for a while when you're sitting because I felt ignored most of my visit. I had a crab and asparagus Benedict and pierogies. I will grant that the Benedict was well done. Poached egg was perfectly runny and the hollandaise had a wonderful light flavor. The pierogies and the potato hash, however, were pedestrian at best and I didn't eat most of the potatoes as a result. The menu has impressive range you wouldn't find at most places, but I wasn't excited by most of my meal so I'm left with thinking I might come back here but I'd never say this is a place you have to go to.

    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!

    I am absolutely obsessed with everything here. I made reservations for 5:45 pm on a Monday night…read more We actually came a little before 5:15 pm, because I was absolutely starving, and they were so kind/accommodating. They seated us right away! I love the vibes of the place, it's beautiful and inviting, but not pretentious. Our waitress was the best. She knew it was our anniversary and gave us a little bubbly to toast to. We also made it for happy hour (5 pm - 6 pm on weekdays, and 5 pm - 6 pm on weekends only at the bar)! All the small plates on the left side of the menu were half off! We immediately ordered drinks (the $10 happy hour cocktail - a blackberry bourbon smash for my husband, and a mocktail for me). We then ordered the shishito peppers, 2 of the pickled beet deviled eggs, and the roasted oysters with chili oil. They came out super fast, and it was delicious. The shishitos had that great char flavor along with a great dipping sauce. You can never go wrong with deviled eggs. Then we decided to order the fried oysters and the bread with corn butter. The fried oysters were the star of the small plates. Cooked so well. Freshly fried, you bite into it and it was juicy and delicious on the inside. Just so good. The bread and butter? Ugh, my dream butter and bread. Just so delicious. The butter was slightly sweet from the corn and had flakes of sea salt on tip, making it the perfect sweet and salty combo. We also got the salad (local produce!), and our waitress knew we were sharing ao she had the kitchen put it on 2 plates. Such a great touch. The salad was fantastic. After eating lobster rolls for a day, this was a much needed salad. It was refreshing, bright, and light! For our main entrees, we got the seared local squid and the strip steak. It was INCREDIBLE. Everything had so much flavor. The squid was cooked well, wasnt chewy. Just delicious. The crispy rice was the BEST THING I HAVE EVER EATEN. I wish we could order bowls of it. My husband finished it, couldn't get enough of it. The steak was fantastic as well. The potato with the bearnise sauce was so dreamy. The little onions on the steak, all the little touches were so well done. We knew we had to get dessert. We got a scoop of the black raspberry ice cream, a scoop of corn and blueberry swirl ice cream, and the lavender honey panna cotta. Guys. You 100% must get dessert. The corn blueberry ice cream was unreal. I dont know how you get all that flavor into ice cream. They dont skimp on the honey on the panna cotta. And it went so well with the more mild panna cotta. The black raspberry was a little icy because they froze whole blackberries in it, but at least you know they were trying to make sure you got blackberries in there. With happy hour, the bill wasn't too bad. This was hands down our favorite meal of our week long road trip. I can't wait to come back. I would 100% make a detour to eat here. Parking is pretty difficult around here. I would probably just Uber if I was coming here on a weekend. I need to come here for breakfast at some point.

    I've been here multiple times for dinner and brunch and definitely had a good time…read more The deviled eggs are amazing! They also have a pavlova dessert that I highly recommend. 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.

The staff members are always welcoming and the aura of the visitors -since we became a nation seem ever-present. Bravo DPI... See you soon. On a visit to Mystic, I could not wait to find a restaurant that served more seafood than I could easily settle on. Sitting in the Mystic Marriott lobby, yelp pointed us to the Captain Daniel Packer Inne. What a find. Although the building was restored in 1979, it's origin dates to 1756. Everything seems to have been preserved -including the aura. As you would expect with a building older than the signing of the Declaration of Independence, it is small in size but large in hospitality. Without reservations, we did not stand much of a chance in the upstairs dinning area, but a flight of stairs down to the pub in the cellar... and we were seated in 20 minutes. For appetizers, we had the phyllo dough lobster lollipops and an order of artichoke hearts that were resting in a light lobster sauce (the artichoke that is) that invited us to soak up what was left with the delicious homemade bread we were served. For our main course we had the halibut steak that was sitting on top of freshly mashed potatoes with a smattering of fresh corn kernels. The customer service attendants were mindful of their tables and visited at opportune times. -Not when you start to take a bite and never did we wonder where they might have gone off to. Parking was a bit of a challenge but by far worth the hunt. If you are looking for a very friendly restaurant with a historical beginning and great food... Look no further. DPI is a definite re-visit for us.

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.

Haring's has a terrific, classic New England location in Noank right along the Mystic Harbor. It's a touch north of Abbot's, and is where Ford's used to be. Our family was on a boat and looking to dock for lunch. The Captain's first choice for lunch did not have dock parking available, and I recommended Harings based on social media posts. The Harings employee who helped us dock was very nice, helpful and hard working. He was probably the high point of our experience. We were told that since he had a boat, we would have to eat on our boat and they would come to the boat and take our order when it was our turn. From the point we were told that, here was our experience. Nobody came to take our order for about 45 minutes. I went to the desk and they apologized and sent someone to take our order. She was friendly and helpful. We were told it would take about 30 minutes to get our food. It took longer. A boat that docked about 30 minutes after us had their order taken within about 15 minutes, and they received their food 10 minutes before I had to complain that we still hadn't received any of our food. The person I spoke with was friendly and our food arrived soon after I said something. The food, which was not inexpensive, was not spectacular. Certain items were not delivered. My son said his fries were not warm and were undercooked, and his $18 chicken sandwich was much smaller than cheaper sandwiches he normally orders.The people who ordered hot lobster rolls said they were OK. At this point, so much time had passed, that we did not have time for them to correct these issues. I ordered the Bisquets and Gravy, which was a 1/2 pound of lobster, lobster bisque and cheddar biscuits. The bisque was average. It could have been better seasoned. There was a lot of lobster, but at least some bites were overcooked. The lobster wasn't well seasoned either. The highlight of my food was the oysters, which was a substitute for the scallop crudo they had run out of after I ordered. I have the sense that the people who helped us, wanted to provide good service. It just seemed like the structure of the service was disorganized, and you never knew if they had forgotten you or that was just the normal lag. I ultimately concluded it was mostly that they had forgotten about us. The location is fantastic. Perhaps the food is better when the business is less steady. I did not see enough in this visit to return. This was probably my least favorite New England water side food experience in years. Especially at this price point. 2.25 Stars
