Drinks and dinner with a great view of the marina! A popular spot in mystic, and rightfully so. Probably the best salad I've ever had (prosciutto and Buratta is a salad right?). The crab and artichoke dip was single-handedly devoured. Drinks were delish. Service was great. Get yourself over to Red 36 immediately. read more

This was my second time dining at Red36, and once again they did not disappoint. The service was excellent and the restaurant was clean. We kicked things off with a warm, hearty clam chowder, followed by their crispy Bang Bang Shrimp and a fresh dozen Ninigret oysters. For the main dish, the seared 5-spice Ahi tuna sandwich with fries was the perfect finish. Another great experience at one of my favorite spots! read more

Went here during the winter season and wasn't too impressed. For starters highly recommend to reserve a table online. There's a lot of tables crammed in together not sure if it's due to the season so there's limited outdoor seating. That being said we were seated close to the covered deck and the door to the deck was constantly opening so we were pretty cold the entire time. Drinks were not the greatest. I ordered a cosmo and didn't finish it. Food was pretty good but the price was kind of high. I got a salad that ended up being $32!! I asked for shrimp in mine and they charged PER shrimp. So I got 4. Salad originally without any protein was $18, which is crazy for just a salad. My boyfriend got a shrimp flatbread which he said was pretty good in flavor. That was $20. Service was very basic. Nothing over the top that stood out. Girls at the front desk seemed overwhelmed/stressed out so wasn't a super welcoming experience in the front desk. Overall not sure if I'd go back again or really recommend it to family and friends. It wasn't a horrible experience but it also wasn't great. read more

Beautiful restaurant on the water. One of the reasons I dined here was because of their gluten-free menu. I had the lobster cob salad. It was one of the best salads I've ever had. read more

Came here with a large work group for lunch. Originally we wanted to go to S&P but the wait was 2 hours so we came here instead. Very spacious and we got a big table with great view of the boats and water. There was lot parking nearby. Service was very good especially when managing large groups. There was 12 of us so we sat at 2 tables they pushed together. We shared the nachos and Thai peanut calamari which I really liked! The calamari was very light and crispy and peanuts were a nice touch. I ordered the lobster roll hot and buttery and it was delicious. Large chunks of fresh lobster on a buttered roll. The fries were also very seasoned and crispy. All around very good! I would come again if I find myself out in Mystic again. read more

Great food. If you like oysters make sure to have Mystic oysters. Amazing. I opted for a chicken sandwich which was also delicious. Seemed crazy to be on the water and not have seafood but a really great sandwhich. Great Manhattan too. The fries could have used a little salt but only a minor thing that didn't spoil the evening at all. read more

The patio is nice and the service was good but the food was not worth the price. The clam chowder was awful there were hardly any clams in it and it was watery, and the lobster roll was tiny. read more

If you're traveling to Mystic you NEED to check out Red 36. All other restaurants do not compare to the ambiance, service and quality of food you'll receive once you're here- HANDS DOWN! First off, this place is beautiful. It's situated right on the water overlooking docks with fun boats. The layout of this restaurant is so neat. There is a beautiful bar indoors and almost like a sunroom as you get further into the building. There are multiple levels as well. The coolest area though is their deck. Seriously so beautiful. I could sit out there all day! Our server was super attentive and patient with us while we were tending to our baby. Very family friendly here- I saw a lot of families at lunchtime. The food was delicious! My husband ordered a white clam chowder and it was so flavorful! He also got a lobster roll and said it was top tier in the state. I would agree as I had a few bites of his! For my lunch I got the korean pork lettuce wraps. This was outstanding!! For just an app this filled me up for my lunch. It had so much depth of flavor between the tender pork, pickled veggies, gochujang, and crisp lettuce! Easily would get again! I cannot wait to come back here! I'd love to try a cocktail and another entree item! The lobster Cobb salad is calling my name!! read more

The food is great, but the hostess, a young tall woman with dark hair and a tan, was very rude. Another older hostess took over and no complaints. People should know that you cannot order any of the food from the happy hour menu at any table in the restaurant. You have to sit on one of two couches which are typically full. read more

With so many great restaurants in Mystic, Red 36 stands out as one of my favorites. Each dining experience at Red 36 has been met with friendly customer service, beautiful views, and delicious food. This occasion was lunch prior to attending the Mystic outdoor art walk. Despite the restaurant having a lot, parking was a bit challenging, but I think it was due to the high number of visitors for the art walk. We found seating at the bar which was inside but with the windows and doors open leading to the outdoor patio, we felt a nice breeze and were still able to soak in the water views. The restaurant has options for indoor and outdoor seating and while there can be a wait, it moves quickly. I ordered the seared 5 spice Ahi Tuna sandwich which was topped with wasabi coleslaw, avocado, crunchy wontons, and cilantro mayo. The portion of tuna was generous, and the combination of flavors was delightful. The sandwich was served with fries which were hot and crispy. My friend opted for the beer battered cod sandwich which was topped with a jalapeno tartar sauce. She gave her sandwich rave reviews as well. I would absolutely recommend stopping in at Red 36 during your visit to the Mystic area! read more

I really tried to think of something I could find wrong with this restaurant but I couldn't! Everything from the energy, the staff, our waitress, the food, and the drinks - it was all 10/10. Come here on a nice day and sit outside to make it even better. Inside is still very nice tho. It feels very high end but casual and comfortable. Can't wait to come back!! read more

We visit Red 36 yearly for our college reunion dinner and always have a great meal. Cozy atmosphere and convenient location. The lobster carbonara is phenomenal. The Brussels sprout appetizers also a crowd pleaser. They do offer a gluten free menu. Service was great, frequent drink and water refills. read more

A group of us ate there on 7/18/26. Our food came out almost immediately. 3 of us ordered the black bean burger. The brioche roll was stale had grill marks on it but was cold. The bean burger was slightly warm and tasted like one from a frozen box not home made. The fries were fine. Our hostess started clearing plates before 1/2 of us were done eating. They added the tip automatically and she didn't deserve 20%. She never smiled till she got her tip. We were told at the end that they only can use 4 credit cards at most so luckily we all had cash. Worst meal that cost me $30 after tax and tip. Never will go there again even though the scenery is gorgeous. I plan to write to the owner. Glad we went for fabulous ice cream dessert at Mystic Drawbridge Ice cream a few blocks away! Fantastic! read more

I love going here and feeling bougie! When I went in October we sat at the bar for a bit and I had a pumpkin beer! Then I ended up a little buzzed on the patio and ordered a lobster grilled cheese! AMAZING! I ate it all in one sitting and I believe it came with fries. This is my go-to place whenever we are in Mystic, I absolutely love the vibe!!! read more

We tried this place on a rainy Saturday afternoon for lunch. There is parking by the marina. We were greeted right away and seated. There were lots of specials and drink options. Much of the menu is seafood. But don't worry, there some non seafood options too. This place is very bright and open. Windows all around with. Views of the marina from every seat! Our server was friendly and attentive. We ordered...I got nachos and my husband, a burger. They were ready and at the table in 15 minutes! Maybe less! The server mentioned that the kitchen moves fast, especially when they aren't busy. They seemed fairly busy to me. My nachos were really good. There was a bit too much sour cream. I don't eat much of it, but there's plenty if you do. The guacamole was yummy. Chips and veggies were fresh. This filled me up. My husband's burger was big and looked good. It was, in fact, the best burger he's had in a while. He ate it so quickly I couldn't get a pic! He couldn't stop talking about it. The fries were really good too, crispy and salty. We will have to come back for dinner! read more

Great cocktails, decent food... and a hard 'NO' on extra bread. Red 36 has a nice setting and our waitress was lovely, but the experience went downhill fast. My husband ordered mussels in a fantastic wine/chorizo broth, served with exactly two slices of toast. He politely asked if he could order more toast--and pay for it. The answer: "No, the kitchen doesn't allow it." We spent a couple hundred on drinks and apps, tipped well, and still couldn't buy an extra piece of bread? At a place that tries to be upscale? Ridiculous. It might sound minor, but it says everything about the hospitality here. Plenty of other restaurants nearby understand service. If you love mussels, bring your own bread. read more

If we lived in Mystic, this would be a regular happy hour spot for us. This brightly lit large restaurant had some great bargains, including $3 draft craft beer $6 mojito $8 nachos including the chicken, $6 Caesar and $8 wings.

Great dinner. Great view. Had to ask for pasta to be recooked. But waiter was excellent and accommodating. Get there early if you can, especially if there are more than two in your party. Getting a table in the deck is pretty easy for two. Plenty of dueces. Fish is fresh, lobster roll outstanding with just butter. I dont recommend it any other way. Salmon also fresh and perfectly cooked with a purple potato and haricot verts fresh and excellent as a side. Highly recommend! read more

You go here for the views. Food & drinks are OK but too overpriced. Staff is attentive. You pay for the outdoor scenery.

I've been dying to try out Red 36, and what better time than right before my fiance proposed?! My best friend and I came on a Saturday during linch and was successful in grabbing a table! They get busy for VERY good reasons! The restaurant is stunning, and the outside area? It's an easy winner for the most gorgeous place to dine in Mystic! We ordered clams, oysters, and their clam chowder. Since it was also my birthday, they surprised us with a slice of cheesecake, which was DELICIOUS! All the food was so fresh and we had to order a second round of the oysters! Highly recommend this place. Amazing service, great food, stunning views! read more

Want to be by the water on a gorgeous afternoon on a Friday. This is the place to be to give you the taste of Mystic. We arrived on the later side so we landed a unbelievable Happy Hour. A friend of mine suggested driving to Red 36 in mystic. The portions are reasonable and can be shared. The view is unbelievable w boats anchored in the harbor. Every sit on the deck has remarkable views. The service was very good on the bar where you can only get the HH prices. The shrimp flatbread, calamari along w the fish and chips was so fresh and good. Along w the 3 drink specials your allowed to choice from. You won't be disappointed. read more

Any meal my fussy 4 year old will eat is a success! Unfortunately they got my wife's order wrong which took forever to replace and the restaurant was infested with house flies - so the experience wasn't fantastic but the meals were delicious - though they charged $50 for a salad which was a new low for us. read more

As a follow up, the management was very gracious and I insisted they not take the dish off my bill. They did anyway. Can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. I was difficult picking something to eat because there were so many things to choose from. read more

I'll start with saying the food here is really good. All of my issues are related to the service. We ordered a round of drinks for the 5 of us. One drink came after 5 minutes and the other 4 came at least 10 minutes after the first. We ordered 3 appetizers for the group and entrees for everyone. After 5 minutes the first app came. 5 minutes after that all of the entrees came. At that point we had barely made a dent in the appetizer. Obviously my entire group was baffled because we were still waiting on 2 other apps. When the 2 other apps came out even the server was confused and thought she had been given the wrong table. The 2 apps that came out were barely touched with us already eating dinner. I voiced my frustration with the waiter when he came back around but didn't seem to care. Now I would have thought he would have done two things here to rectify the situation; Comp the 2 apps that came out after all entrees or offer a round of drinks on the house. So when bill came back with everything there and not even a comment from the waiter to address the matter I had a good laugh. I complained to the manager who was kind of enough to take a round of drinks off, but I can honestly say I haven't had an issue like this in quite some time. I'm not the type of person to escalate this type of matter but I felt extremely ticked off given how much money we spent at this establishment. Usually I let the food and this case setting do the talking, but I will never come back here again. There are plenty of better spots in downtown mystic that actually care about their customers, know how to handle the basics in the hospitality industry and most importantly where I can make a normal reservation. read more

I love Red 36. They also deliver a good experience. Their food is very good and fairly priced. The lobster roll was great. Their fish tacos are good as well. We had the clam bucket appetizer and it was great. We also had the crab dip, great. The service was a bit slow and the tables are a bit cramped but they are very busy. Love it here. Nice view of the water as well. read more
