Can't say enough wonderful things about the MYC and Ocean Blue Catering…read more We had our wedding here this past Saturday and my husband and our parents were thrilled with our day. Katie was a delight to work with in the months and weeks leading up to our wedding and the banquet manager Ashley was accessible and helpful the few days before and day of our reception. We were surprised by the quality of the food- my husband and I ate our entire dinners and had a couple apps during cocktail hour! Unheard of, right? It was so yummy I insisted we sit for a few minutes, enjoy each others' company, and eat our meals. Thankfully the weather cooperated so our guests could fully enjoy the view, but even had it rained, the wrap around porch is protected by an overhang so I think guests could still be outside. If you're looking to hold an event that feels classy but NOT STUFFY consider the Mystic Yachting Center. It has a New England nautical vibe that will appear to locals and your out of town guests. Thank you for making our wedding day the loveliest exper

I had the opportunity to stay at Delamar Mystic during the snowstorm this past weekend and I was…read moreimpressed by the atmosphere, the attention to detail, but most of all the level of hospitality from the staff! Everyone was incredibly pleasant and greeted me warmly. The check-in process was quick and straightforward, and it was easy to get to the room. The front desk made sure we knew we could call for anything we need. Later on, it was enjoyable talking to Penny at the front desk while I waited to go into the on-site restaurant (La Plage) for lunch, and she was incredibly sweet and informative of the surroundings area. The room itself was impeccably clean, well-lit with warm lighting, and the housekeeping team clearly pays attention to the little details that make a hotel stay feel next-level luxurious; the bathroom amenities were also high-quality and the shower was superb, nice and hot. And then the view! We were able to see up the Mystic River from our room, which was so serene and enjoyable; perfect for enjoying a coffee or getting a little work done at the table, whatever your need is. When it was time to check out, it was very windy and cold, and Harry was able to use the hotel's VW electric van to escort me to my car in the parking lot, which was deeply appreciated. He stayed to make sure I could get my car out of the lot (since it was just that snowy and slippery) and when my car was having a hard time reversing out of my spot (FWD in the snow), he helped to get me un-stuck. I couldn't recommend staying at Delamar Mystic more. Even though everything was closed and the weather wasn't cooperating, simply staying at the hotel itself is an enjoyable experience.

This was a loud place with good-sized bar and a menu that changes daily it seemed. They had lots…read moreof unique choices on the menu. The service was okay while the food came out in a timely manner. I liked that some of the fish items listed the fishing vessel on the menu. Three appetizers were ordered which consisted of a beet pickled deviled egg ($4 each), chilled oysters (Half Dozen $18), and the local fluke crudo ($17). The egg had a crispy clam strip and espelette pepper. This was solid. I thought the clam strip was a little too overpowerful given the size of that and the egg. The pickled beet egg was interesting, and I liked how the filling was also under the egg, so the egg did not move. The Riverhawk oysters were fresh and tasty. The mignonette was simple and paired well. The crudo had an herb mayo, pickled ramps, kelp crisp, and pickled sugar kelp. This was alright. It seemed like fennel or a similar type of herb was used in one of the pickling items, which took over a little bit. The kelp crisp was nice and paired well with the fluke. For an entrée, I had the local scup a la plancha ($37). It came with Marshall Cove mussels, fondant potato, English peas, and a saffron emulsion. This was a nice sized portion. I thought the saffron emulsion was key and went together with everything else on the plate. The mussels were fresh again, and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. It was a well-done dish, but the use of scup made it feel more modest, but maybe that was the point, so what do I know? I also tried the scallop dish that came with green crab crispy rice, chili crispy, and a garlic aioli. The rice was very crispy, and it reminded me of a traditional hibachi rice, but elevated. The scallops had a perfect cook to them too. For dessert, the oyster ice cream ($10) was tried. It had to be tasted when it was on the menu. It had a slight briny flavor, but nothing too overpowerful. The ice cream itself was very creamy with a nice texture. I believe Greek yogurt was used, which probably helped with the oyster flavor that was incorporated. Will I go back? Sure.

We sat down and talked about everything my husband and I dreamed about for the reception - and Chris and the SHYC made it all come true. It's a beautiful space. The fireplace was lit, we had a gelato sundae bar set up in the library, and all the rooms were open so our guests had plenty of room. We got to enjoy a sunset over the water through the windows that span the entire length of the club. I am still getting tons of compliments about the food. Chris worked with us to set up stations with made to order steak, pasta, veggies, and bacon scallops that were TO DIE FOR! All of the servers, bartenders, everyone involved was so kind, helpful and in a celebratory mood. It was absolutely perfect and VERY reasonable!! We felt like it was an incredible value for the experience. I can't rave enough. Thank you so much Chris and SHYC!!

We stayed at the Hilton Mystic and were pleasantly surprised after reading some mixed reviews…read morebeforehand. Overall, we had a really nice stay. The pool area was one of the highlights -- plenty of seating and they even show movies at night which gives it a fun family-friendly vibe. There's also a bar on-site (although no happy hour on Fridays or Saturdays), with multiple seating options. One area was quieter and more spacious for relaxing with a drink, while another was outdoors with fire pits which looked nice in the evening. The hotel has a fun maritime theme. The rooms were spacious and conveniently included both a microwave and mini fridge, which always makes traveling easier. The location is hard to beat since it's directly across from Mystic Aquarium and close to everything else in the area. Overall, a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Mystic. We would definitely stay here again.

Checked in, king room. Felt a little cramped. As we went to the restaurant for dinner I asked if anything bigger was available. The very sweet young man at the desk switched us to a king jacuzzi room. He warned us the the jacuzzi did not work. Fine by me. The room was a touch bigger than other but both rooms looked like they needed serious updating. Problem #1. The toilet hardly flushed. We let them know and they were going to send an "engineer" to look. Never showed. #2 First morning I told cleaning we'd be out in 10; she never came back. Saw her in hall 2 hours later and again let her know. Never showed. Left a message with housekeeping. Nothing Finally on way out to dinner we asked the desk for clean towels, garbage emptied and new coffee pods. After dinner came back to towels tossed on dresser. That's it. Left the full garbage. No coffee. Thanks And as a footnote to anyone getting this type of room. Holy god the shower is in the jacuzzi! It's a REALLY big step in and out. I'm surprised I didn't kill myself trying to get out of it. BE CAREFUL
