    Southerner gluten free
    Allie K.

    We stopped into Popover Eatery after seeing all the great gluten free reviews on findmegf. I tried to get on the waitlist, as directed by the website, but it didn't work. There was about a fifteen minute wait when we arrived around 9 am. We opted to get takeout as the restaurant had very loud music inside and out. We ordered coffee and split the southerner. It's a waffle with cheese and bacon and chicken. The waffle was delicious. It was definitely a good call to split it, as it was plenty of food. The chicken was good but a little overcooked. A great breakfast/brunch spot, and great for gluten free.

    Corned beef hash platter

    Went to Pop Over Eatery for breakfast on a weekday. It's a cute spot, with a counter for people ordering takeout, as well as many tables for dining in. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu, and friendly. She took our orders, and our food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the corned beef hash plate, the Shoreline Feast, and the Kpop. Shoreline feast was a standard breakfast plate of eggs, bacon, sausage, and home fries. I did like that croissant was one of their options for toast. The corned beef hash platter had the same eggs, home fries, and toast, but included an excellent corned beef hash that actually had fibers from the corned beef brisket. Unfortunately, they do not have cold brewed coffee, but they do make a decent breakfast.

    Got to try out a sample of their new summer supper club menus and what an experience it was! The overall meal was laid back---paper plates and plastic cups, but the experience was elevated. Food was served tasting menu styled in the form of 6 unique courses that all were delicious. Service was efficient and kept the meal moving at a good pace unlike other tasting menus I've done that dragged on. The meal included alcohol like canned cocktails or wine, but I also got to try their take on the coral dot cake latte too and it was very good! It was a nice experience to get to hear about the restaurant which is known for brunch and adding this summer supper club, to meet the chefs (one was graduating high school the next day and off to JWU in the fall!) and to hear the owners vision for this already amazing spot. What a wonderful experience! I'll be back for brunch and for another summer supper club!

    Enjoyed our breakfast at Pop Over Cafe. We got there just before the rush and were seated right away. The cafe is really cute and well staffed. My husband tried their French Toast which he liked but wasn't anything special. I had the popover with corned beef hash and scrambled eggs. I enjoyed it a lot. We also shared a K-pop which was a popover with butter and honey. I also had a banana chai which had very little banana flavor. I like the concept of the cafe specializing in popovers. It's not something you see often. I'd eat there again if I was in the area.

    a beautiful brunch spot and dinner supper club in mystic! i recently attended their newly launched supper club where you get 6-7 courses and unlimited wine/beer! It was peak strawberry season so we enjoyed strawberry rhubarb toast, salad, black rice arancini, cod, strawberry shortcake and more! all the food was fresh and well prepared and the owner, Pam, is such a sweet heart! for $65 a person you enjoy an amazing plated, multi course meal in Mystic!

    Steak and cheese popover
    Tiffany B.

    This is exactly the kind of breakfast and lunch spot that keeps you coming back! Delicious food and super friendly staff. Their popovers are the star: light, airy, perfectly golden, with that crisp exterior and soft, buttery center. The stuffed steak and cheese popover is a must-order and packed with flavor in every bite. The house-made corned beef hash is delicious and clearly made with care. I also loved the loaded breakfast bowl complete with crispy potatoes topped with an egg, onions and peppers, melted cheese, guacamole, and sour cream.

    I love this place so much. Perfect food, excellent service, bright pleasant atmosphere, private parking lot, something for everyone including vegan options, what more could a person want? They were so good with my kids and their bathroom was clean too. Perfect experience here. Strong recommendation from me!

    Stopped here after a run to re-fuel. Did not have breakfast but appreciated that it has a parking lot (a plus in Mystic) and is a bit removed from the downtown Mystic area. Grabbed an iced americano and love that they use local Giv coffee. Also picked up a Morning Glory muffin which paired perfectly with it. Loved this muffin in their Simsbury location and was glad to see it in Mystic.

    This was a very cute place in the area. Highly recommend if you're looking for a brunch spot. Food was good and service was friendly.

    The pop over with the honey butter was delicious My hot honey iced latte was also delicious though I didn't taste too much spice and it was a little too sweet, but not overly so (for reference I typically just get an unflavored unsweetened latte). My pop over was good, but felt a little too savory. I wish I had ordered the pop over on the side rather than as the container for the veggie scrambled egg dish. Also, we ordered a specialty smoothie to support pride month, which was delicious as well. Our server was attentive and engaging. We loved our little table by the window. The atmosphere was bustling on a Saturday morning and I can see why. We had eaten at several hotel properties earlier this week at no cost (and could have had our breakfast included at the hotel today) but chose to make the trek this morning somewhere new and it was well worth the $50 breakfast for two.

    veggie popover
    Pri W.

    Small and charming breakfast/lunch spot in Mystic! I had high hopes for trying the "pop overs" since I've never had one before. I tried the veggie popover and it was just okay (it looks exactly how it tastes, nothing bad by any means but also didn't blow my socks off!). I would definitely come back and try something else on the menu! The home fries were delicious and the blood orange aperol spritz was a hit!

    What a find. Was in the area on Mother's Day looking for bite to eat. Lucky find, I couldn't believe it wasn't crowded. Staff super friendly and helpful. Place is nice has good amount of tables. Plenty parking. Busy area. Food was Amazing. Had nice variety of drinks, menu was interesting. Couldn't believe how good it was I ate mine and stared at my plate wanting more. Love finding different unique places. Definitely worth the try, we will def drive all the way back to this spot to have again. Thanks

    APPLE PIE WAFFLE
    Puja P.

    Went to Pop Over eatery and had a delicious breakfast. My husband and I split the Veggie Pop (regular menu) and the Apple Pie Belgian Waffles (these were a special limited menu item). Both were fantastic, not overly salty (veggie pop) or sweet (waffles). The wait was a bit long, 30 min, considering it was not at capacity. But service was great. It's a casual eatery with a California vibe to it. Would go again for sure but would account for the longer wait.

    The Shipwright's Daughter - crispy fried oysters

    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 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.

So that means everyone loves Nana's. Which means that, on a very rainy weekend early afternoon, we ended up waiting quite a long time to order and then to get our food but ... I suppose it was worth it (this is high praise coming from someone who almost never believes waiting in a long line is actually worth it). My friend and I split the spicy Caesar kale salad as a starter. I cracked up when I saw "massaged kale" as one of the ingredients. But all jokes aside, this was one of the best kale salads with abundant dressing and, in lieu of croutons, breadcrumbs and cashew parmesan. It tasted pretty indulgent and rich but you can certainly fool yourself into thinking it's actually healthy. I got the tomato sandwich plus bacon (so a BLT without the L) and it was pretty good, though I do wish they cut the bread a little thinner so I could pick it up and eat it as a sandwich. As it were, I just used my knife and fork - certainly more civilized. The pizza was also not bad, though I wish there were some more of the toppings - heard it's leagues better than Mystic Pizza. There are a few tables inside but be prepared to wait. When it was peak rush hour, there were two lines inside, one for the bathroom and one to place an order. Even though they were so slammed, the staff couldn't be friendlier. Our waitress in particular came by often to see how we were doing. Parking lot also filled up. We parked in the Mystic train station and then walked over.

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.
