The place is small but so beautiful. I love the decor and plenty of plants inside. We loved the food and will return with some friends to try more food. But loved everything we tried.

What a great place! They deserve your attention…read more... Small intimate dining with amazing food and service. Everything we had was delicious. Interesting cocktails and beer.... Delicious manhattan made with touch of vanilla and bitters I'd not heard of Mussels, hummus....grilled octopus to start. Mussels with delicious broth/sauce...especially good. Grilled octopus amazing again the sauce made it all the more better. The 'bread and spread' which included hummus and a spread were also very good. Main course... Pork chop (excellent), strip steak with some kind of tahini sauce... cooked perfectly medium rare (Excellent) and lamb beef skewers ( excellent) Shared a Caesar salad... Not the usual...better flavor. had to be the dressing? Service from the start was also excellent. friendly and attentive, but not suffocating. The small space is very welcoming. Intimate but not stuffy or overcrowded. I was surprised that other people's conversations were not flooding into ours. Don't miss this unique place in Mystic. We'll have the oysters next time at the start.

My family went to Mix to celebrate my nieces graduation and things went down hill very quickly…read more This restaurant is not accessible for people with mobility issues. If you can't handle stairs do not come. The website's statement regarding it's accessible patio was not accurate. It looked like one existed but it was closed and they were not seating people there. Sometimes mistakes are made, and websites are not updated... but, my niece had confirmed via phone that this patio was accessible. We were completely blindsided. Members of our family ended up just going back to the hotel because we were a party of 14 people on graduation weekend with no other options. Furthermore, There were only two bathrooms and they were on the first floor. If the patio had been open, these bathrooms would not have been accessible for anyone with mobility issues sitting on that patio. And there was a line, and no soap in one of the two bathrooms On the good side, the dining room was pretty and open air. It was a nice atmosphere and the waitstaff was good. But the food was expensive, and disappointing for the price and the hype. The onion roll in the bread basket was fantastic, and the sour dough was ok, but I didn't love the weird unchopped ceaser salad with discs of bread and parm. It was just frustrating to eat even if the flavors were good. My husband didn't really like the buccatini. I can't really speak for anyone else in our party. It was really going to be a high bar to make up for members of our family having to leave and not being able to celebrate with us. It could probably be a great place if they just got their act together. Other things to keep in mind are that parking in this part of town is beyond insane.

4.5 stars! Mix…read morerooftop bar is a great spot for happy hour and dinner! I've been twice now for happy hour and the selection and prices are great! The area is clean and the staff is friendly. The location is easy enough to get to, with it being above the bakery. Only issue is there is no bathroom upstairs so you'll have to use the one downstairs. Excited to try it out when it gets warmer out.

Currently docked in: Paris!…read more Wow. Truly a phenomenal dining experience all around and I'm very sad I didn't think to take pictures. We went for an early seating yesterday and bravely brought our 8 month old. This was already a bold ask because this restaurant doesn't scream children but port of call took it with stride. We were accommodated with a highchair and several staff stopped to say hi to our baby. (For his part, our baby was relatively chill although a loud babbler, and no tears which we would call a win). Now onto the product. Absolutely phenomenal. We were wowed from start to finish. Every single drink, dish, and dessert far exceeded our expectations. The happy hour menu is very generously priced and had several favorites off the actual menu, as well as some items which I believe are available all the time. Our server (I'm very sorry I can't think of his name) was fantastic and offered excellent recommendations to like drinks on the current menu based on drinks we said we usually steer towards. Every drink (we had 4 different ones) absolutely knocked it out of the park. This would be an awesome spot for cocktails and apps with friends but is also a superb full service date night spot. We can't (and won't) stop raving about port of call!!!

Let's start with the positives:…read more Strong flavor choices, boldly executed, with notable skill and expertise. Uniquely thoughtful menu with beautiful ingredients. This restaurant provides a higher quality meal than 99% of restaurants in CT. To the detriment of an otherwise fantastic experience: The overall experience here lacks some of the polish you'd expect from a restaurant operating at such a high culinary level. There seem to be consistent breakdowns of the overall communication, planning and operations throughout the restaurant experience. While the service team is friendly, capable, and professional, there are recurring lapses in communication and organization that affect the overall flow of service. These hiccups express a system lacking in polish and organization, perhaps due to a breakdown of cohesion, a weak overall structure, or management issues...? The intimate dining room is a part of the restaurant's charm, but it also leaves little room for error. Seating logistics and pacing require careful management, and we've experienced a few situations where communication between the front and back of house appeared to break down. To the staff's credit, any issues we've encountered have always been handled directly, graciously, and professionally. Port of Call remains a top dining choice, but the operational inconsistencies keep it from feeling like an automatic recommendation every time. Food: 5/5 Servers: 5/5 Finesse/Operations: 2/5

She took the time to ask what both my coworker and I liked and made thoughtful recommendations. I ordered "The Pear Necessity" with mezcal, and it was so good, Smokey with a hint of sweetness. She also suggested pairing our drinks with their chocolates, which completely elevated the experience. I tried the salted caramel and coconut, and both were incredible. My coworker ordered the "Chocolate Old Fashioned", made with real chocolate and orange. I'm usually not an Old Fashioned fan, but after trying it...wow that was delicious. I even grabbed some chocolates to take home because they were that good. Between the craft cocktails and the thoughtful pairings, this place really stands out. Definitely check them out if you're ever in Mystic !

A Mystic staple with heart, hops, and hearty Irish fare…read more Friar Tuck's Tavern is one of those Mystic spots that just feels right the moment you walk in. The beer selection is always solid--plenty of familiar favorites plus a few rotating picks that keep things interesting without overwhelming you with choices. The Irish‑leaning menu is where they really shine. Comfort classics, generous portions, and that cozy pub vibe that makes you want to settle in for a while. Whether you're craving something hearty or just need a plate to go with your pint, they've got you covered. Live music adds a great energy without drowning out conversation, and the staff deserves a shoutout--they're faithful, friendly, and keep the place humming even on busy nights. You can tell they care about the regulars and newcomers alike. Not quite a perfect five, but absolutely a Mystic go‑to when you want good beer, good food, and a warm pub atmosphere. Cheers
