    Quail stuff with foie gras, truffle polenta
    Lou A.

    Let me start by saying Mystico 802 should be awarded a Michelin Star. It was my wife and I first experience at this restaurant. I saw the reviews were excellent but I'm a food snob so I would have e to decide after the experience. I don't want to debrief you about each course but everything from the service, the cocktails (Get their house special) apps, main and yes, we even had two deserts, something we seldom do. Since Chantecleer has closed this will be our number one choice in the greater Manchester area. Bravo to the Mystico Chef Tim and staff

    Panzanella salad /$18 Dutton farm, heirloom tomatoes, burrata, red onion, aged balsamic, croutons, Tuscan olive oil

    We went for cocktails and appetizers. We were not disappointed. The drinks were fantastic. Charcuterie was amazing. The fresh bread always delicious.

    Great bartender and drinks! Higher end drinks are fantastic and so was the bartender Louis! The homemade pasta was also outstanding!

    Cozy Italian farmhouse vibe with elevated cocktails and cuisine. Atmosphere was relaxed but classy with great windows for natural light and great lighting once it's needed. Tips** If you like to research the menu on yelp by looking at pictures, you need to do so before hand because even though I had two bars, I could not access any websites whatsoever. Also maybe bring a cushion because you'll need one if you're seated in one of the hardwood chairs since it might take awhile on a packed night. Ray and Caroline tag teamed on service and were delightful but busy so an hour into our reservation we were still working on appetizers. But let me back up and tell you about the fun cocktails. We got Ghost Story and Autumnal Glow. Both tasty and different. Ghost Story is their signature drink and the smoked rosemary really makes it unique from most bourbon drinks. Autumnal glow was fruit forward but not too sweet so weirdly refreshing and fall like at the same time. Highly recommend their butternut squash soup special and the focaccia bread with whipped ricotta. Best focaccia I've ever had. The tasting of all crudos what also delicious and unique EXCEPT for the bay scallops. They had a fishy aftertaste so maybe just stick with the yellowfin tuna and the fluke. They are known for their pastas so we ordered the spaghetti alla chitara and were not disappointed. The olive oil poached Halibut was incredibly delicate and tasty and great for a healthy protein. Between the two though I would say the spaghetti was authentic and pleasantly chewy making it a dish that's hard to get anywhere else. Finally, we were full but wanted to taste the hazelnut tiramisu. The topping of chocolate and nuts on the cream were delicious but as a whole the actual tiramisu was not my favorite. The syrup on the ladyfingers was not quite right so I'd go for the gelato or the panna cotta next time.

    Wow. Wow. Wow. The food in this place is so unique and yummy. Bring an extra stomach because your eyes will order more than you can eat. The fried artichoke, the foie gras or caponata for appetizers was a difficult choice. So I ordered all 3 and nothing was left. That is how good all 3 were. This meant I couldn't finish my delicious 16oz NY strip but I sure did eat plenty of the fried gnocchi that it came with. This is the place to eat if you come to Manchester. Thank me later

    Corsetti made with squid ink and octopus.   I've actually never seen a Corsetti it's a stamped pasta from Liguria Italy.

    When you've just had the most epic dinner ever, why on earth wouldn't you want to come back for lunch the next day? We chowed down on an insane Porchetta with salsa verde on homemade focaccia bread and a ridiculously good salad. And, oh man, their homemade gelato? We demolished it in record time - I couldn't even snap a pic!

    Lamb ragu
    Sarah C.

    Had dinner at Mystico and everything was incredible + the staff were kind and had great recs. Since it's tomato season, we started off with the panzanella salad which was so fresh! Then we had the sea scallops, artichoke ravioli, and lamb ragu - all delicious. The pastas especially were some of the best we've ever had. Be sure to order a dirty martini with local blue cheese stuffed olives!!

    Rigatoni carbonara
    Alex F.

    Really beautiful, packed location. Our server was super friendly and checked on us frequently. -got the practical magic and ghost story for drinks: both beautiful presentations. The practical magic was almost grape flavored (vs pear) but I loved it and would totally get again. The ghost story was very strong yet tasty, just a warning for those driving. -We ordered the foie gras and the homemade focaccia with whipped ricotta for appetizers. We were disappointed with the foie gras- we had it in Boston and loved it but it was served cold and tasted rubbery here; I would have preferred it warm. The focaccia was crispy, warm, and perfect with the whipped ricotta. -The entrees stole the show: the Bucatini Alla Amatriciana was packed with flavorful pork and tomato sauce.. I was so full yet felt the need to finish it. My boyfriend loved his rigatoni alla carbonara. A bit too peppery of an aftertaste for me but he loved it. We could come back to have these pastas again they were incredible.

    WOW - this is a total gem in Manchester, VT, for sure! Great menu, high-quality ingredients for the dishes, and the handmade bread and pasta highlight the care and attention paid by the chef to their dishes. Server was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, and made great recommendations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Has a wine- or cigar-bar atmosphere, and very relaxed feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    0/5 SERVICE. Genuinely came with high hopes, the menu looked so good that I was planning on dining…read morehere lunch and dinner as I was visiting nearby farms/shops which recommended this... but lunch was horrible. Mainly attributable to SERVICE which was HORRIFYING!! Ambiance was charming home setting outdoors and rustic wood vibe indoors. The food was average/iffy. Garlic peppercorn steak was encrusted with a layer of seasoning and yet it wasn't that seasoned in terms of flavor, was just ok. Ordered medium and yet it looked black on the outside and medium rare inside and beyond tough - I could not even cut the steak, I ended up just ended eating the whole thing straight up. So strange and not worth $30 at all. The Idaho skins were good just wish the potatoes were crispier. The signature applewood smoked wings were so overpriced and terrible. I could not taste any flavor, it tasted like boiled wings expensive 6 for $18. The worst part: service, or rather lack thereof.!! Upon entering, we waited awhile for someone to come greet and seat us and seemed to judge us when we clarifying what tavern was when we were asked if we wanted tavern or dining room. We were seated and took a LONG time until finally our server came to take our order. Then took an even longer time to get our food almost 20minutes. The other table that got seated after us the order the same wings at the same time, got their food 10 minutes earlier than us and their server was present throughout the meal . Ours just was nowhere to be seen throughout the entire time. Finally the food came, we ate quick, and asked for the check. We couldn't even find our server to get the check! The other table has already gotten the check and signing the bill. We then got up and tried to flag down our waiter to for the check and takeout box and after a long time she gave them but disappeared again for a long time so we tried to flag her down, again, so we could actually pay. When we did, she rudely said "do you see the things im carrying? can you wait?" Mind you, we have been waiting for nearly another 20 minutes after we finished eating for any appearance from the waiter. We tried asking the other waiter who was actually present if we could but said we needed to get our actual server. We finally finished the whole transaction (20min waiting for food, 20min spent flagging down the waiter for the check/giving the money), and frustrated we wasted so much time here while on a trip for just OK food, we just left because the server then disappeared AGAIN after settling our bill. Hilariously enough, the only time she seemed to care about us was when we left and she went RUNNING after us to ask us "you did not tip enough, did I do something wrong?" in a rude and fake overly concerned way. After we briefly explained, she proceeds to loudly shame us saying "you supposed to tip me xyz because I provide you a service and if not you're really disrespectful". The audacity. Service was beyond horrible!!! and still demanding higher tips calling customers disrespectful when we did nothing but wait and get yelled at by her for not waiting even longer and still needing to directly pay her extra tips. During that scolding we got, we saw her name tag: Avery. Overall: Foods ok. LONG WAIT for food and check. Horrifying service by one server: Avery. Perhaps other servers were better like the one who took care of the table who sat down at the same time and left 20 minutes earlier meanwhile our service was way slower, not as friendly, demanding tips, and public scolds/shames customers for it. This experience totally soured my impression of this place and now I'm questioning why people even recommended this place to me and why I went along with it!

    Not a welcoming experience at all today. We were escorted to our table by a rather prickly hostess,…read morewhich set the tone right away. After being seated, we waited about 10 minutes before our server arrived--she was actually very pleasant--but unfortunately things didn't improve from there. After placing our drink order, we waited 25 minutes and never received it. During that time, multiple staff members walked by, glanced at our table, and kept going without checking in. We ultimately decided to leave. To make matters worse, the server attending the table next to us had about as much warmth as a block of ice, which didn't help the overall atmosphere. Really unpleasant

    Food - Very Bland, we ordered the shrimp scampi and veal parmesan and let's just say the scampi…read moreseemed like it was just boiled noodles and butter. The actual shrimp were salty. The Veal was ok but seemed like it could of have been previously frozen. Not to mention, these two entrees alone cost us ~$80. The appetizers were far better than the entrees. We honestly could of ordered wings and French onion soup and that would have been a better option. The salad was the best thing they served us. And no, not any of the salads on the menu, the complimentary salad that is served by the restaurant. Service - There was one waiter for the entire restaurant. He was really nice and seemed like a good guy, but they probably need to give him some help. We didn't get our drinks until about 30 mins into being at the restaurant and the entrees took over an hour to show up. The two stars here are for our servers positive and friendly attitude. Final Summary Notes - DO NOT come here for a nice dinner on any given weekend or evening. Only come here for appetizers and drinks and only sit at the bar.

This time, C and I split all the meats (brisket, ribs, sausage, turkey, pulled pork) with collard greens and coleslaw. It was more than we could handle, so some of it went home to a very happy dog. I struggled to pick a favorite meat of the five. Possibly the fall-off-the-bone tender ribs. Maybe it's the spicy sausage. But don't sleep on the unassuming turkey either, smoked to perfection. Coleslaw was crunchy and cool. Collard greens were tender and flavorful. The pickled vegetables are a great palate cleanser. And if you're an IPA fan, the fact that you can just get a can of Alchemist's Heady Topper might be reason alone to come. It's consistently one of the top rated beers in the country. Bonus points for being open every day of the week. Even with our weird Sunday to Tuesday schedule, we can eat here any time.
