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!

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 shrimp presented in the cocktail were cold, crisp and fresh and the sauce had a great taste and consistency. We also enjoyed the DPI skewers that included a bit of steak tip, a sea scallop and a fresh shrimp that was that was grilled to perfection and drizzled with a bit of horseradish cream sauce. 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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
