Aquarium
Zoos & Aquariums
Non-profit organization
Mystic Aquarium is a popular interactive aquarium featuring a variety of marine life, including beluga whales, African penguins, sea lions, and sharks. The aquarium offers unique exhibits such as Steller sea lions and beluga whales that are rarely seen in other parts of the country. Visitors can also explore the Olde Mistick Village in Stonington for dining, shopping, and entertainment options.
It was a fantastic experience. It's a bit pricey, but when you consider the amount of animals they take care of, you get it. It was $82 just for my child and I to get in, to give you a perspective. I loved the Beluga whales, the seal show was adorable and the indoor gallery area was a fun experience. The keepers located throughout were very informative and gladly answered any and all questions. I highly recommend this aquarium.

Mystic Aquarium is an excellent spot for children, especially between the ages of 4 and early teens. The exhibits are engaging, and the attractions they do have are very well done. The sea lion show is free, fun, and worth planning around—just make sure to check the schedule ahead of time. Since it’s outdoors, you’ll also want to be mindful of the weather. While I was a little disappointed with the overall size of the aquarium, what’s here is high quality. Be prepared though—most extras cost money, so definitely bring your wallet. With more funding and awareness, this place has the potential to grow into an even larger attraction. Overall, it’s still a great family experience and well worth a visit.

Fantastic experience at the Mystic Aquarium. It is a lot smaller than I expected and the majority of the exhibitions are outdoors so thankfully, we choose the perfect sunny day to visit. Our highlights were seeing the Beluga whales swimming about outside and seeing the sea turtle inside. We also loved that they had a Del's Lemonade stand by the gift shop. A lovely little treat on our way out. Definitely a fantastic experience with the family. Now for my standard comments. Parking is plentiful out front and free. Location is well kept and clean. Very comfortable walking outside assuming the weather is good. Indoor exhibits never got too crazy, at least during the time that we were there.

Where do I begin, this Aquarium is the best I've been to. The staff are all so friendly, and care so much about each and every animal in the facility. They have staff stationed at the enclosures in case you have any questions on a particular animal or exhibit, and they are so knowlegable. The Beluga whales are so cool, and almost seem like they interact with anyone who's at the glass and seeing everything they do for them is a bonus! The Main gallery has so many different tanks with all kinds of aquatic life and detailed plaques on each one, with any information you might want to know about a specific species. They even have not one.. but two touch tanks! This Aquarium is the perfect spot for a family day trip, the staff at the touch tanks were so friendly making sure any kid that wanted to participate was allowed the opportunity to do so and the layout was so cool to walk through. The pricing is extremely fair for what you get to do and see. The photo you they take when you enter of you and your family is 100% worth the 35 dollars to have it as a memento. Parking is a breeze and highway access is easy as well. I would give this aquarium 6 stars if I could, and my family and myself cannot wait to go back!

Sad to say we feel like it wasn't what we were expecting.The tour of the whole place took us under an hour.And it was fifty one dollars per person. We do understand it's a research facility. But I think they should update their exhibits. And maybe offer a few more attractions without the extra cost. I had my first virtual reality experience, it was pretty cool. But it was at a $9 extra fee per person. The beluga whales are cool, and so are the african penguins.And the sea lion seals, but I feel like those are the only three real attractions that they had.
Royden G — Google review
This aquarium is so nice, not too big to navigate and the staff is really super friendly. I only gave 4 stars because we went during the start of the NorEaster last weekend and it was not enjoyable for my kids, unfortunately. I must add that the food at their cafe was very good - was impressed with the quality, actually. Better weather def would have made for a better experience, but a nice place to go with the fam for sure!
Jessica S — Google review
A small but phenomenal aquarium. I love it here. They work so hard to make the experience fun and engaging for everyone. The sea lions show is great for kids, but also anyone of any age. Lots of amazing fish and exhibits. They also do great work with animals that are in need of rehabilitation. We were a large group and they were super accommodating. Would 100% recommend this.
Morgan B — Google review
I visited Mystic Aquarium for the first time last summer and had such a great experience! There was no waiting line to get in, which was a huge plus. The staff members were absolutely wonderful—so friendly and helpful throughout the visit. We toured the whole aquarium and really enjoyed seeing all the exhibits. Unfortunately, we didn’t have enough time to catch one of the shows, but we did try the virtual reality experience (around $5–10 extra) and it was fantastic! Definitely worth it. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in Connecticut.

Historic Sites
Olde Mistick Village in Stonington is a charming outdoor venue designed as a reconstructed 1720s-style Colonial village. It offers a picturesque setting with shops, boutiques, eateries, and seasonal events. Visitors can enjoy unique shopping, delicious dining options, and even catch a film. The village features bungalow-type buildings with colorful facades and colonial-style business signs, along with attractions like a water wheel in a duck-filled pond and a gazebo.
I love this place and always enjoy visiting. They have a few new stores. The location is family-friendly, quiet, and clean. You can find many unique and special items in the stores. For me, it is magical. I always bring something home that I won't find in the city. Mystic Village is a local place that brings happiness to my family.

This little village has been around for so many years. And every time I come visit, I’m never disappointed. The little shops are great and there are so many things to see. They have a wide variety of restaurants and dessert spots as well. They have some boutiques as well and there are places for the children to see things they like too.

Old Mystic village is a lot of cute specialtie shops in a old type setting. It's a nice place to spend a day. But I'm myself wouldn't waste a vacation day on it.The better shops are at the bottom and there quite a few empty shops. The prices sadly are double what you would pay on Amazon on eBay..

This open aired shopping plaza is a gem. Even though it looks like it's from the 18th century, it's actually more modern than that (built in the 1970s). It's on 19 acres; there is a duck pond, gazebo, shops, cinema, and restaurants. The walking paths are easy to navigate and pet friendly. Here are some shops that cross my mind: - Alice's Haunted Little Book Shop -Pepper Palace - Becca Rose -Cloak and Wand Restaurants: -Mango's Wood Fired Pizza -Jealous Monk We liked it so much, we went 3 times during our weekend staycation. Once was in the evening right after they closed, just to get our steps in. I love that they extended their hours during the summer. They also host events, have free parking, and restrooms throughout. We enjoyed walking through and shopping there. It's worth a visit!

This place has a lot of nice shops but the area is very expensive. Some shops were reasonable, others weren't. I am not paying thirty-five dollars for a t-shirt, sorry. Even teenty-five dollars is a lot, but reasonable. There are a lot of ducks at the duck pond and I always remember to see them.

American restaurant
Brewpub
Brunch restaurant
Located in Olde Mystic Village, Jealous Monk is a popular European beer hall and social club offering a convivial atmosphere and a diverse menu. With over 30 beers on draft, this spot is perfect for beer enthusiasts. The open brewery-style space features a huge outdoor patio that is kid-friendly, making it an ideal destination for families.
Stopped in at Jealous Monk for breakfast, which is not something you normally think of here since it’s better known as a German-style beer hall. The menu was definitely different than your usual breakfast spot—and it worked. The eggs with hash came out in a skillet and were excellent, hearty, and flavorful. The bangers with pancakes were also spot on, a great mix of traditional and nontraditional. What makes it stand out is how they take classic breakfast dishes and put their own spin on them. Everything we ordered was really well done, and it felt like a fresh take on the usual breakfast routine. Between the food and the atmosphere, it’s an all-around nice place to go for breakfast in Mystic. Highly recommend giving it a try if you want something a little different from the standard diner-style breakfast.

Beautiful place and ambiance. Excellent service by all staff who are constantly checking on you and helping each other. Coffee was perfectly made to my requests. Corned beef Benny was bland, even after copious amounts of salt and pepper, though that is a matter of personal taste. The food used quality ingredients and had an inviting presentation. A delicious (and complementary) old fashioned bottle of water made the perfect compliment to my brunch! Finally, the lime raspberry cake tasted good, though not moist and somewhat of a Little Debbie cake consistency, which was the only part of the meal I wouldn't recommend. Overall a pleasant experience I'd highly recommend if you're in the neighborhood, as I happened to drive by.

We’ve been to Mystic before, but hadn’t tried this restaurant. We were looking for something local and with good food. This place popped up for us on social media, and we decided to give it a try. They have a wide variety of food and lots to choose from. We got the Buffalo Chicken Rangoon, a 1/2 rack of ribs, the Chicken Schnitzel, and of course the New England Clam Chowder. Everything was absolutely delicious! We enjoyed the flavor and everything was made fresh. We will definitely have to stop by again when we’re back in the area!

Jealous Monk is a beer hall and garden located in the Olde Mistick Village. The interior is spacious with high ceilings and long tables. The outside patio is also spacious with plenty of seating. There are dozens of rotating draft beers, cocktails, and wine. They also have a good selection of food; from pretzels, burgers, wings, and more. I'm a fan of craft beer so I had to stop in. I love that it is kid friendly too. We ate outside on a beautiful summer evening. Our server was friendly and attentive. I had the red sangria which was good. We started off with the buffalo chicken crab rangoons which were decent. They had lobster rolls on the menu so I had to order it. I love the cold style; it's mixed with mayo on lettuce and a buttered bun. They loaded it with lobster meat. Overall, my family and I enjoyed our meals and drinks! I highly recommend!

From out of state. So good we ate here twice while in Mystic. Tried the clam chowder, wings, buffalo chicken Rangoon, fried cod sandwich & pulled pork sandwich. Every bite was delicious! Loved that there was outdoor seating which we opted for both times.

Classic bier garden. I ate the Jager Schnitzel off of the Oktoberfest menu. Also had a couple Oktoberfest marzen beers. Brings me back to when I was stationed in Germany in the 1990s. Would go back, highly recommend.

Creative and tasty donuts! Worth the wait and visit. The line moved very quick. We got the strawberry crunch and samoa. Both were delicious. Soft, fluffy, and bursting with sweetness goodness. Got lattes to compliment the donuts and it did not disappoint. There are some outside seatings for those who want to sit and enjoy the yummy treats.

We came to Mystic, and wanted to get something sweet after we had lunch. We saw this place on social media and they said that the doughnuts here were great, so we decided to try it out. The place is small but had a good space outside to sit. They have a wide variety of different treats and we tried a doughnut. It was very good and very soft. The flavor wasn’t too sweet and the sprinkles were perfect. We definitely want to come back to try more things on the menu soon!

Cute donut shop in the olde village. Get there early for the best selection. We had a gluten sensitive cider donut —-very sugary and nice flavor and crumb. We also couldn’t decide between the fluffernutter (filled donut) or the PB Cup, so got both to try. They both had nice flavor, though I’m not sure I could have eaten a whole one of either. The bake on the filled donut was very good. They also had some nice seasonal coffee options.

The donuts look fun and definitely fun to bring your kids too. The designs are adorable and the flavors too. We only got to try the Samoa donut and it’s a bit too sweet for us but still good.

We always pre-order gluten free donuts for our family since a few have celiac disease. The donuts here are extremely good! They have specials all the time and have a wide variety of flavors to choose from. The store gets very busy in the morning and the line tends to get pretty long. That's why we pre-order the day prior. They also have lattes and coffee and other drinks. We return often due to the quality and taste of the donuts.
Heath C — Google review
During our recent visit, we purchased two donuts, four cookies, a coffee, and a tea, totaling $30.00. Upon returning to our hotel, we assessed the items. The Boston cream donut was satisfactory, though the cream filling was minimal. The apple cider donut possessed an accurate flavor profile, however, it was over-fried, resulting in a hard texture. Regarding the cookies, we selected a MM, chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia nut, and pumpkin variety. While the cookies were substantial in size and thickness, the dough lacked sufficient flavor. We would not recommend based of our experience.

It offers a wide range of options including chops, ribs, roast, salads and more. The restaurant also features live music for an entertaining dining experience. Known as the best combination of a steakhouse and seafood in Mystic town, it serves premium program beef along with fresh seafood and a scrumptious salad bar.
Great food and drink were very flavorful. Slow service to start but got much better once a waiter was assigned, very friendly and on top of things. Mushrooms were absolutely the best that we have ever had, I even ate them as a non mushroom eater. Twice baked potato was just okay.

Nice setting. You get to choose a formal setting in the main dining area or a more relaxed setting by the bar. Very generous servings. I couldn't finish my salad. Had the steak and crab cakes with the side being baked potato. I forgot to take a picture of the main course as I was eager to dive in. The meal was delicious and the waitress was excellent. I would definitely recommend it if you are visiting Groton

It was our first time at this restaurant, please please update your lighting!! Doesn't have to be bright, but it was even hard to read the menu during the day. We ordered fish and chips (amazing) and sirloin, salad, French onion soup, and mashed potatoes. My steak wasnt cooked too correct temp, and was a little bland, but was still decent. Possibly you should order it medium rare if you want it medium cuz it was overcooked. Everything else was good minus the fact that the server forgot my soup, i received it after my meal and the soup was comped. I will return to try the happy hour items.

Nachos and Caesar salad were delicious. Our two steaks not so much. Both of us ordered well done both came back pink. Husband was ok with his even though it was bright pink. They reheated my steak until it was no longer pink. Didn't realize a teriyaki steak is just steak with teriyaki sauce to dip in. Loaded baked potatoes were dry and lacking flavor. Picture is of hubby's "well done" steak.

This place will defiantly be on our list of spots we visit every year. Fresh delicious food and a great price. For the price you pay you get a lot of food. I got the fish and chips. For starters the fish was huge (our waitress said they buy the fish fresh every day). The breading was crispy and tasty. It also came with a cup of clam chowder. My wife got the steak and chicken and it looked and tasted great and the steak was cooked perfectly. Definitely would highly recommend it here!

This young crew is so very lovely - super polite, patient and kind! I went in not having an 100% idea of what I wanted, just knew I needed something decaf and multiple suggestions were made after a few questions about what I like. I ended up with a decaf pumpkin Frappuccino and it was light and delicious- just right for the seasons recently change in the air! Also, you can never have enough whipped with cinnamon!😁 Pluses: - Coffee ☕️ is on point - customer service is top notch - great indoor and outdoor seating areas for a quick meet up or a longer sit for studying. 🥰 Cons: - though delicious I don’t know if I can justify a daily Frappuccino purchase, $7+ for a tall is a stretch especially for such a global brand. I would understand if it was a small Mom + Pop but I may just reserve these for a special occasion and go back to my normal pike place.

Absolutely convenient location (by the Mystic Aquarium) makes it a perfect spot to grab a coffee while you wrap up your day at the aquarium and looking to grab a coffee on your way back. There are enough seating options available and parking is not a problem as there are enough parking spots in the Mystic Green compound. Staff is very humble and supportive of your preferences and selection.

This is the worst experience I've had at Starbucks. There is process improvement needed on the mobile order vs cafe order. Using principles of LEAN would assist this store in getting orders out in a timely manner. I ordered two frappuccinos and no less than 20 mobile orders were processed in front of me. The customer who is in the store should be the customer served first. Process improvement such as having the customer let you know when they arrive at the store may assist you at this store in reducing backlog. Also I watched 2 team members leave the floor while there were 10 people in line to order and 15 people waiting to get orders in store. I have attached pictures of the amount of mobile orders sitting on the counter for 20 minutes while instore customers were left sitting. Lean and Six Sigma may help this store perform at a higher level. TLDR ordered 2 drinks at 1035 and didn't get then until 1100.

Mystic Pizza, located in Mystic, Connecticut, is a nostalgic spot that inspired the 1988 film of the same name. The restaurant is filled with memorabilia from the movie and vintage pictures from showbiz. It's a must-visit for fans of the cult classic film and those looking to reminisce about seaside holidays. While they embrace their tourist-fueled experience, their pizza is definitely worth trying.
Loved getting to visit Mystic Pizza in person! The staff is lovely and the decor is fabulous. The special pizza is pricey at almost forty dollars for a pie but absolutely delicious. Perfect crust and perfectly tasting ingredients. Definitely would recommend stopping by, even if you have not seen the movie! Now for my standard comments. Parking is a little tough. Can get crowded but we managed to snag a spot in the back or side lot and they said we could park there for a few minutes as we picked up our pizza. There seemed to be some comfortable indoor seating. Location is clean and well kept.

The movie “Mystic Pizza,” gave this Pizzeria a lot of fame. Unfortunately the prices reflect that the place is for tourist$. Pizza was good, and their beer own was excellent.

Travelling to 10 states in 14 days we diverted to Mystic because of the movie Mystic Pizza but mostly because of the movie Mystic Christmas which showed Mystic off in a great light. We weren’t disappointed on a beautifully sunny day… great Main Street with interesting shops, the pizza, the bascule bridge, the river, the houses and at that time of year the Halloween decorations. Bliss 🥰

The service was great, even at the gift shop. This restaurant is adorable and their menu provides a great story of how they have expanded because of the film. If I'm ever in town again, I would definitely come back!

Great gluten free dough and regular dough!! We stopped in around 6pm and were quickly seated upstairs. The atmosphere was very pizza shop—-large wooden tables, Mystic Pizza playing on the TV and photos of the movie and celebrities. We ordered the garden salad. It was plenty big enough to split for 2-3 people. We each got the small pizza in pepperoni. The gluten free crust was tasty, it had a nice buttery flavor and good texture. The regular pizza I asked for it to be well done so that it had crispy pepperoni, which it did. It was oozing with cheese, but wasn’t super heavy and a perfect amount of sauce with a nice flavor. We each had a glass of wine, which was priced from $8-10 each. The server was really friendly and stopped by several times to check on us. Overall a lovely experience! We would definitely return.

The gf pizza was delicious! I ordered a gf pepperoni pizza and loved the sauce, the cheese, pepperoni - and CRUST! It was crispy and tasty! We had a dinner salad with parmesean peppercorn dressing - also very tasty! Overall, the food, the service and atmosphere were all wonderful at Mystic Pizza! Recommend!

There was a wait to get a table but we snagged two seats at the upstairs bar right away. Bartender was friendly and took our order right away. We ordered a large pizza with mushrooms and pepperoni. Perfect amount of sauce, cheese and toppings. The sauce had a unique taste. It wasn’t like regular pizza sauce had more flavor. Can’t really describe There was two of us so we couldn’t finish the entire pizza would definitely come back.

Since we were in Mystic for one night it felt like we had to go to Mystic Pizza for dinner. The food was good. The only issue I had was the fans upstairs made the lights seem almost strobe like. It gave me a bit of a headache. That said it was still great food and the service was excellent.

Bakery
Breakfast restaurant
Sift Bake Shop Mystic is a family-owned bakery with a French accent, offering an array of delectable treats. From elegant seasonal sandwiches to buttery quiche slices, the shop has something for everyone. However, it's the sweet indulgences that steal the show, including papery-flaky croissants filled with dark chocolate and lemon meringue tarts. Visitors can even watch the bakers in action through glass windows as they create their masterpieces.
This place absolutely rocks. I was pleasantly surprised by very reasonably priced coffee and the incredible presentation of all the pastries. There’s lots of options so if you don’t have a sweet tooth, you can grab a savory quiche or a sandwich on a fresh baked croissant. There’s usually a line out the door but it’s definitely worth the wait and there’s plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.

This place was great! They are right in downtown mystic, and within walking distance from a public parking lot. The line was out the door but moved pretty quickly. The staff were friendly here. The food displayed was amazing just to look at. It was an organized, and perfectly laid out in the cases. So appealing to the eye that you wanted one of everything. The sticky bun was my favorite item I Tate’s but everything we tried was fantastic. The latte I had to compliment it was just as good. I can see why the line here is long, all day long. If you are in Mystic, you need to come here. If you are inside looking, get the sticky bun lol. Your welcome.

This place is worthy of the hype. We had the blueberry cheesecake dessert and our friend's had the vanilla cake. Delicious on all accounts and the straight black coffee was perfection as a strong and flavorful coffee. Everyone should go to Sift, and order one of everything...okay...just order something and you will see why the place constantly has a line out the door, down the street. Our dogs loved it too because a staff member walked by us on the patio area and gave them tiny dog treats. BRAVO to the chefs, owner, and wait staff. You are worthy of the highest praise.

My daughter and I drove an hour due to a friend's recommendation. We enjoyed everything, especially the spinach and artichoke croissant and chocolate chip cookie. The key lime croissant was really good but too tart for me but daughter said it was out of this world. Quick moving line, tables inside and out were available. It was worth the drive. Ohhhh and the prices were good for the quality 👌🏾

Very good bakeshop in Mystic! Lines are long but if you have the time to wait, it’s worth trying something. We had the chocolate chip cookie, guava cheese danish, and chocolate croissant. The chocolate croissant was most notable because it has chocolate on both the inside and outside!! 😋

We planned to visit the bakery many months ago due to the rave reviews. We were there on the morning on a weekend during rain, but there was still a big line for dine in, which is the same for pickup as well. Apparently you can only pick up without the line for bulk orders. The line moved fast so it was good. I was able to order based on the items on display. All croissants were tasty and a single croissant is very filling, vegetable croissant was savoury and tasty, pecan bun is very sweet and yum, only one type of brownie was available which was extremely fudgy and tasty, blueberry scone was dry and wished they served it with butter, and the macarons were out of this world. It is a quick service restaurant and you grab the order to dine on your own. There was good number of seats to dine in but it is also very convenient to dine in your car. I loved everything and would love to visit again! Strongly recommend!

Museum
Art museum
Children's museum
History museum
Mystic Seaport Museum is a reimagined waterfront settlement that offers a glimpse into America's maritime past. With over 60 historic structures and a recreated 19th-century village, visitors can step back in time and experience life in a shipping town from over a century ago. The museum features over a dozen ships from the 19th and 20th centuries, some of which can be boarded and explored.
We (2 adults) visited on a very hot day at the beginning of the summer. I absolutely loved the feel of walking around a replica of a 19th-century fishing village. There were so many storefronts to check out and the ships were beautiful, too. This is a gem of a place and we are fortunate to have it continuing to operate after nearly a century. There was an incredible exhibit in the gallery while we were there. I truly appreciated becoming more informed about the experience of African-Americans from a 21st-century perspective. It was hot enough that day that we unfortunately didn't get to explore as much as I wanted. This is definitely a place I would love to return to, perhaps on a fall weekend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must-stop while visiting Mystic! I was completely surprised by how good this experience was. The museum is very kid-friendly and perfect for families. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes — it’s definitely a minimum 3-hour tour with so much to see and do. I highly recommend staying with the guides, as they make the history come alive and really enhance the experience. An unforgettable stop that I’ll be telling others about!

From the moment we walked inside to purchase our tickets to the time we left, Mystic Seaport Museum didn’t disappoint. The staff were very friendly! We toured most of what was offered. I think our favorite was the shipyard. It was incredibly interesting watching active restoration projects. The amount to view and experience was so much more than we realized. This was a wonderful stop for us on our New England road trip.

With something for everyone, Mystic Seaport Museum is a must-do vacation stop. One can see skill craftspersons in the process of restoring historic sea craft or recreating life in a seaside town in the early 1800s. Great for the whole family. Kids will especially love going on board the last wooden whaling ship the children's museum. Not into ships, history, or old architecture? Then visit in the spring and summer and see some of the most beautiful floral arrangements Ive seen in a long time.

Really nice museum with outdoor and indoor exhibits. We paid $44/adult and $22/youth. We had an amazing time. The museum was nice, not too crowded and with nice live explanations when needed. Learning was also pleasant. Easy with kids. The outdoor area was pet friendly except inside the boats.

This was such a fun experience! perfect for all ages and an ideal way to spend a cozy fall evening. The ambiance felt straight out of a PG-13 Halloween movie from the '90s, full of nostalgia and charm. It had that warm, festive energy of a small-town holiday market, bringing a real sense of community. Will visit again!

Wife and I were kinda hesitant because of the price but honestly, it's pretty good value for what you experience. We visited on a late August Tuesday and while there weren't as many staff as may have been on a weekend, it was still very informative. There's a lot to see, you can easily spend most of the day here. We spent 3hrs here and while we hit many exhibits and staff demonstrations we didn't do everything possible. There are self guided buildings and many with staff educational assistance. These folks are passionate and knowledgeable about the history of Mystic seafaring history with a particular focus on whaling but there's so much to explore. You can see how people lived, shopped, ate, cooked and worked all focusing on the diversity of life around a sea community. I'd return again and try to hit the planetarium if nothing else. This is definitely worth the time.

Watch Hill Beach, also known as Carousel Beach, is a family-friendly destination located in the southwestern Rhode Island area.

Absolutely love this beach ⛱️!! We've been going here for over 30 yrs and I still love it just as much. I enjoy the 2 hrs of free parking ;) on the street. It could cost up to 50-60$ dollars to park for the day. Beautiful harbor . Just a dream

One of the best beaches! Bay side for toddlers and ocean side for bigger waves. Parking in Watch Hill is a challenge so be prepared to pay or walk. Or find a friend with a boat!

I have been visiting Watch Hill Beach for seven years, and when my family and I first discovered it, we felt we had found a true treasure. Before I proceed with my review, I want to address some negative comments I’ve encountered regarding the locals. In my experience over the years, I have never encountered any rude locals; they have always been warm and welcoming. Like any destination, if you behave loudly and disruptively, you may not be welcomed. Now, regarding my review: We have always enjoyed our time there because of the friendly locals, delicious food and coffee, and the ability to relax while listening to the waves and watching families and friends enjoy themselves. I’ve always been very hesitant to go to the beach on July 4th because of how busy it can get. My best friend and I decided to go on July 4th 2025 and it did not disappoint us at all!!! We had such a great time, we found a great spot to sit back, relax, and enjoy. There is no beach like Watch Hill. I’ve traveled to many of them, but none compare to this one. Also, shout out to the parking attendants who do a phenomenal job ensuring all the cars are parked correctly and the ease of leaving the parking lot. Thank you!!

Rise is a cozy daytime eatery located in downtown Mystic, CT, offering locally sourced breakfast and lunch options in a modern setting. Since 2016, the small spot has been serving dishes made with local produce, dairy, meats, and maple syrup from nearby farms. The menu features a variety of breakfast items such as sandwiches, brisket hash, omelets, Benedicts, buttermilk pancakes, French toast with fruit or nuts toppings.
Rise is a charming restaurant with great service and delicious fresh farm to table dishes. The presentation and attention to detail makes the restaurant a “must visit”.The next time you visit Mystic, stop by. If there is a wait, you can put your name on a list and take a walk throughout downtown. They will message you when your table is ready. It’s worth it, trust me.

Our group of four ventured into the bustling atmosphere of Presidents’ Day weekend, fully aware of the 45-minute wait ahead after putting our names down. However, the anticipation was well rewarded! While awaiting our table, we explored the charming town, appreciating the convenience of receiving text alerts once it was our turn. Upon finally settling in, we were treated to a hearty breakfast that surpassed expectations. Locally sourced ingredients added a delightful touch to each dish, with the bacon particularly standing out for its perfect crispiness. Amidst the natural light streaming in, our brunch with the in-laws felt like a relaxed occasion, further accentuated by the positive vibes permeating the establishment. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly endorse Rise for anyone seeking a stellar dining experience.

Seriously one of the cutest and most delicious breakfasts! I love the location and the totally chill vibe. My egg, avocado and bacon sandwich was spot on! Grab a coffee cup, serve yourself in one of the eclectic cups and order something yummy! The portions were plentiful and everything was so good! Worth the stop in to just take in the atmosphere and food!

This a little place with big flavors. Everything is made fresh and locally sourced. Coffee is self serve at the front and they have a random assortment of mugs :-) We stopped in for breakfast and my husband had the Italian breakfast sandwich - really good with a nice kick from the spicy sausage. I had the hash and eggs - the hash is homemade with brisket. Best hash I've ever had. My only regret is that we weren't around long enough to stop in for lunch because they have ramen. Great place. We'll be back next time we're I'm Mystic!

I stopped in here on a Wednesday morning to grab some breakfast after reading some of the amazing reviews. We got a spicy sausage breakfast sandwich and a ham breakfast sandwich, both were great. The best part was the cheese that was used was made crispy and placed on top of the meat almost like a chip. Also the spicy sausage as homemade and actually had a good kick to it! I'd recommend a stop in for a visit.

Seafood restaurant
S&P Oyster Restaurant and Bar is a contemporary waterfront spot that has been serving boat-to-table New England seafood, premium oysters, and farm-to-table fare for over 25 years. The restaurant's rustic-chic space features a large wooden deck perfect for alfresco dining and sunset cocktails. Chef Cobena and his team create culinary delights using fresh, locally sourced ingredients from farmers, fishermen, and vendors.
Easily our favorite place in the area (and there's plenty of good restaurants)! The restaurant doesn't offer high chairs or booster seats, so we ended up bringing our own (which they allowed). There were other children at the restaurant as well, and the waitstaff were very welcoming contrary to some of the older reviews. We loved everything but personal favorite was the ahi tuna plate. Will definitely be back in the future.
Anthony M — Google review
Our first time in Mystic and S&P came highly recommended. Besides the heat, we had a wonderful dining experience. The host and server (Ryan) were amazing. We waited for the patio to open because it would have been a 2.5 hour wait for a table indoors. If you’d like to eat inside, you should definitely make a reservation (it would have been preferable since it was so hot outside but we still enjoyed the patio setting and close proximity to the drawbridge — we loved watching the boats sail by as we ate). Overall, the food was delicious. We started with their Thai Calamari which was exceptional (top tier) — best we’ve ever had! Their Crispy Seafood Platter and Chicken Yucatán were also very good (risotto tasted even better the next day). I was a bit disappointed by the Lobster Ravioli — I called and expressed my concerns to Jeremy (manager) and he was very considerate and resolved the issue in a timely manner. Very pleased with how he handled everything. We didn’t have room for dessert, maybe next time. If you’re in Mystic or planning a trip, do yourself a favor and make a reservation at this fine establishment — the location, service, ambiance, and food cannot be beat!

What a pleasant surprise! I ordered scallop pasta and my husband ordered swordfish with risotto. It was so good we both cleaned our plates. I had a rose with dinner and he had a hot & dirty martini. For dessert in had the peanut butter & chocolate martini and he had an espresso martini with Baileys. What an experience! Everything was perfect; the view, the food, the drinks, and staff.

I really enjoyed dining at S&P Oyster Restaurant. They are right on the river next to the drawbridge. You can watch the bridge open and close and the boats going by. The service was amazing and the food was delicious! All the vegan choices made it difficult to decide! I had the Beet and Avocado Tartare as an appetizer, the Stuffed Red Pepper for my main dish, and an amazing vegan mousse with coffee for dessert. Every bite was so delicious I didn't leave anything on my plate! Make reservations ahead of time because it's difficult to get a table if you just drop in!

Really enjoyed a Monday lunch. The calamari was very flavorful and cooked perfectly we split a salad and I had the seared scallops with the couscous there was a nice piece of feta in the middle of the couscous and it was wonderfully creamy our waiters were knowledgeable and pleasant. We also had the shrimp and blue corn fritters. We didn't really need the desert but it was wonderful we split the flourless chocolate cake

Our dinners - seafood/meat special and seafood trio - and pumpkin cheesecake were excellent. Nice portions as well. Our drinks were just ok, little disappointing as the old fashioned ordered seemed to be just put together quick with no muddling of fruit. The specialty coffee seemed to lack the liquors that were supposed to be in it. Our waitress/waiter although very nice seemed to be preoccupied with larger group of guests

Always ordered from here for years, never had an issue. A few days ago, I ordered some food for pickup. Drove 5 mins home. I ate it, it was delicious as always, then an hour and a half later, I couldnt stop going to the bathroom. It got to the point when I was so dehydrated due to severe diarrhea, my arms, hands, fingers were going numb. I developed a fever of almost 101 degrees, and had no sense of appitiete whatsoever. I checked myself into the ER, on the advice of a urgent care telehealth visit, where a stool sample discovered that I contracted NOROVIRUS. I can pinpoint that to the food I recieved from Wokery due to the fact that I didnt (and couldnt) eat anything else, except this food only. I work 2 fulltime jobs, and will be seeking financial compensation from this business for the three (3) days I missed out on from their food. I advise anyone eating here to exercise extreme caution when buying food from this place of business. Shame though, I really loved eating here.

Wokery set a standard with their food many years ago when they opened and never deviated from it. Food is affordable, portions are big, quality is top notch as far as quicker American style Chinese food restaurants go. This place is a staple for the locals, so happy they’re still going strong.

This place is criminally underrated. They have the best dumplings, and I have literally made myself ill because I could NOT stop eating their Singapore Mei Fun. I order takeout from them pretty regularly and if there's anything that's not awesome on their menu, I haven't found it.
Christopher S — Google review
This was my first visit to the Wokery in Mystic for takeout. Very modest American Chinese Restaurant. Typical Chinese memorabilia & decor. It appeared 95% takeout orders. It appears this place is run by Chinese people - likely from the Szechuan province bc of their menu items. (They have Szechuan specialities on their menu). I ordered the Wontons in Chili oil & the Chicken with Garlic (says it is spicy). Both my items were not spicy & were just “okay” in flavor. The items were not prepared according to authentic recipes so that was a bit of a bummer. I also didn’t find the items overly flavorful. The sauce on the Garlic Chicken was sweet & sour & watery. The won tons in chili oil were okay. They weren’t BAD - but they weren’t SOLIDLY GOOD. I have been to China, lived in the DC area & have eaten authentic Chinese for 30 yrs. This place prepares AMERICAN style Chinese food. It was hot & the portions were average. I try not to judge places immediately esp if it wasn’t great experience. I will give them another opportunity. They offer a dry chili chicken that I have had many times at other Szechuan restaurants that is excellent. I will try that here - I am hopeful will it be good bc it’s a dish from the Szechuan province. I will update this review after I try this place again.

Nestled within the charming Velvet Mill, Whitecrest Eatery is a delightful culinary gem run by the dynamic husband-and-wife duo, Johan and Abbey. Their thoughtfully crafted menu features an array of seafood delights like oysters, crab, cod, tuna, and lobster alongside fresh salads and mouthwatering burgers. A standout dish is their coconut garlic shrimp—originally part of a traveling menu series—that has now secured its place on the regular offerings due to its immense popularity.
If Whitecrest Eatery is on the "Where should we eat tonight?" list, I will be picking it. My first exposure to Whitecrest was it's regular menu. I was not only impressed with the food and how it was presented. I was also impressed with the rustic, well-thought out atmosphere. And the personalities of the servers as well as their attention to detail and intelligence of the menu items. The second visit, we experienced their Wanderlust event, in the country of Ethiopia. This area is not known for offering such a variety of cuisine, so having an Ethiopian option close by was wonderful! (I used to live near NYC and miss the variety.) On this visit, I appreciated the atmosphere even more. It was intimate and open. The staff was made up of mostly the same people and I felt like I was visiting a familiar family friend. Whitecrest Eatery - Thank you for providing such a beautiful space. I can feel the love and care you put into this place by merely walking through the door.

We headed to Stonington for the afternoon and stumbled upon this hidden gem. It’s literally hidden in unique upscale factory called the Velvet Mill that houses various small businesses like coffee shops, brewery, art work, antiques, etc. Upon arriving, we were greeted with a warm smile welcoming us and brought us to our table. We were given a quick history of the place and their offerings. We shared their fish and chips, roast beef sandwich, and panko fried flounder. All incredible flavors and beautifully plated dishes. We ended the lunch with and cardamom cinnamon bun that tasted like autumn. Warm and perfect amount of sweetness. We can’t wait to return to try their dinner menu and check out the shops. We loved our entire experience from arrival to dessert. Staff was incredible and very happy to have us and excited for us to be there. Set a date and get excited, you’re in for a great treat!

If you enjoy classy dining experiences on the shoreline, then check them out. Liz was super helpful in getting us started, and the food was worth our drive. I had my own Ratatouille moment biting into the Brussell sprouts. Cheers to the whole crew at Whitecrest Eatery!!

Great modern exceptionally well prepared food. This located in the kinky Velvet Mill which has loads of pop up like shops, art, bakeries, beer hall etc. Whitecrest brings big city style food with nice bar. Worth the visit and for us locals a go to.

Made to feel very welcome for our belated birthday dinner. We've lived in Stonington for 2 years and this was our first time. We will be back soon. Menu changes weekly, this is some of the best cooked food we've had in the US, hands down. Ribs fell off the bone, our waitress at the bar recommended the Rasta Pasta which had a jerk cream sauce that you could have drank on its own. Quality food & a great atmosphere served by nice people.

Day 3

South side of town
For day 3, we recommend exploring the south side side of town. Start the day off with Dog Watch Cafe, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to The Velvet Mill. All together, your day would be filled with about 8 hours of non-stop fun.

This place is an absolute 10/10 all the way around. Beautiful view of the marina and the food was awesome. I ordered the yellow fin tuna, my wife had the seafood casserole and my son had the fish tacos. It did not disappoint! If you are looking for great food with an awesome atmosphere..this is the place to check out in Stonington

A lovely spot right near the water and marina, this longstanding institution serves up delicious seafood! My NE clam chowder was excellent, as were the fish tacos. My kids had the fried calamari and the brisket cheese sandwich, all very good. And if their seasonal special blueberry crisp is on the menu, don’t miss it! From the woman who showed us to our table to the waitress, service was friendly and helpful. Reservations during peak summer season, even at off-peak hours, are recommended. Abundant parking right nearby, kid and dog friendly.

Second time at the Dog Watch and will definately repeat. It was a hot day the beginning of the month, so indoor seating suited us best, but while we waited we had a drink on the back patio where another bar is located. The food was great as well as the staff. Calamari and Bang Bang shrimp as starters. I had the seared fish tacos which where a nice retreat from the original fried [no photo included].

This was my 5th time here and between the consistency and fresh food you can't go wrong. If you can go on a nice day and sit in the back section by the water I highly recommend it. The ambience provides for a great experience for you and your guest. I'd suggest getting a reservation though as this place a well known local spot.

Food was standard but tasted very fresh, and since it's by the water the price is always a bit higher. We came in on a weekend around 2pm and the place was full and only the patio was available which was fine for us. You can buy clothes here such as sweaters and vests with their own branding.

American restaurant
Noah's is a charming New England restaurant located in Stonington, offering a cozy atmosphere with its tin ceilings, wooden bar, and inviting decor. Since 1979, it has been serving up delicious comfort food using slow scratch cooking techniques. The menu features a variety of dishes that change with the seasons, ensuring fresh and flavorful options for both locals and visitors.

What a charming little place to sit and enjoy freshly made food. We were out yesterday in Stonington, CT. a a mini snow squall kicked up with a brisk cold wind which made our trip to Stonington even better. Driving on Water St. we saw Noah's on the corner flying the American flag at lunchtime. we stopped in . We were greeted by Meghan and seated in a cozy dining area with a few booths and tables spaced nicely. Old building so all the old floors and metal ceiling sheets and a bump out window table caught my eye. This place is a great place to warm the bones and sit and enjoy the atmosphere, there was party of 4 sitting and just enjoying each others company and the comfortable and cozy feel , nobody was rushing them out. We were seated and first thing you notice are the great photographs on the walls. A local artist John Papp, beautiful photography and neatly matted and framed. Colorful exotic birds and some local pictures all for sale. Onto the food, we were there for lunch, breakfast is served until 11:30 then they switch over to lunch. My wife ordered a Awesome Sauce Burger that comes with lettuce, tomato, cheese and smoked applewood bacon, I ordered a Boro Bowl, comes with rice and quinoa.You get 2 choices of sauces along with 4 standards, spicy sesame and ranch dressings I chose tomato, edamame, raw red onion and raw spinach. I added a protein Bulgogi steak. EXCELLENT bowl !!!!! My wife said her burger was great. Meghan provided excellent service with a smile. This small restaurant was a great stop for us, we will definitely be back again. Their menus offer something for everyone, breakfast, lunch or dinner you can't go wrong Top the experience off with beautiful Stonington, CT.

Neat outside that draws you in and it seemed like a good option! We are glad we came! The staff was immediately friendly and sat us, took our drink order and got things started! All the way from beginning to end they took good care of us! One employee was even sweeping and the owner or manager even thanked her, that’s good management! The beer options were good, the local ones I tried were excellent! The food is made with high quality ingredients as well and even the vegetables that made up the salad were so fresh and delicious! Very refreshing starting with the salad here! The oyster chowder were amazing, had plenty of oysters in it and had good flavor and was made from scratch as well! The mussels were good and came with some excellent toasted bread! Our entrees were very satisfying as well and we had a good experience here! Very neat place too from stamped ceiling to neat wooden decor and paintings!

While looking for a place to eat lunch, we saw Noah’s. It was a very cozy and nice restaurant. There was local art for sale that were on the walls, the staff were friendly, and the food was delicious. We ordered mussels and shared a salad, and we had a really great experience. This is definitely a wonderful place to stop.

Noah’s is a reliable and always good choice in the borough. The food, drink, and service are excellent and free of unnecessary fuss. It’s smallish and cozy — a welcoming atmosphere. The menu focuses on what they’re good at, therefore it’s all good.

Noah’s a restaurant located in historic Stonington Village. We had lunch on a Wednesday. Itwas a rainy, cold winter day and was very busy. Not surprising. The food is cooked fresh with fresh ingredients and very generous portions. Our server was a gentleman who was very friendly and attentive. They are open for breakfast, lunch and diner. A must try when in the area.

Breakfast restaurant
Nestled along the picturesque Stonington Harbor, Breakwater is a contemporary waterfront restaurant that promises an unforgettable dining experience. With its airy ambiance and stunning views of Fishers Island Sound, it's the perfect spot to indulge in fresh seafood and New American cuisine while sipping on expertly crafted cocktails. Imagine savoring delectable dishes like tempura fried shishito peppers or fish tacos after a refreshing swim at Whalens Wharf, all while watching sailboats glide by against a backdrop of vibrant sunset hues.
Food was phenomenal! From service to view, everything was perfect. I know reviews talk about a long wait but it was nice waiting with a drink by the water. I definitely recommended these drinks: Aperol Sprits frozen and the bloody Mary. For for food: the hot lobster roll, blackened chicken tacos, fried fish tacos, the burrito, and the shrimp and fries.

Great location with good food. Lobster roll was amazing. Seafood medley was good. Gluten free kids pasta could’ve been better—especially with the almost $dollar upcharge just for the gluten free option which is a little absurd for the quality. Other than that, we would love coming back.
Ramiro C — Google review
First off, make sure you get a reservation here! It gets busy! Our waitress was fantastic , extremely kind and helpful. The view and ambiance are just perfect, I don’t think there’s a bad seat in the house. In regard to the food, the fried calamari was good but pretty heavy on the batter and it was more garnish than actual calamari on the plate,The seafood pasta was delicious and filling, however I wasn’t super impressed by the salmon. It had a great crispy exterior, however it lacked in flavor and the inside was a bit tough, I think it maybe could have used a sauce or just some extra salt and pepper!Overall, If you are in the area it’s not a bad option at all but I wouldn’t say it’s a must try.

We were on a short tour of the CT shoreline to revisit the many places we have been to many times over the years. We stopped in Stonington to see the sights and have lunch at Breakwater. It is a great casual restaurant built on a pier out in the bay. Seating inside and out but when weather is nice like today, outside is the best. We had fish & chips and fish tacos. Both were excellent. Add a beer and it was perfect! Views of the water and boats are really spectacular.
THE E — Google review
We enjoyed a lovely dinner here at BREAKWATER. The views were beautiful, service was friendly, and food was delicious. The fried calamari was fine but had a lot more fried peppers and other veggies vs. calamari. The lobster roll was not bad especially with a side of sweet potato fries. The seafood pasta was phenomenal with shrimp, scallops, lobster, crab, julienne vegetables, garlic-parmesan cream sauce, and parmesan. The Blackened Mahi Mahi and Pan Seared Faroe Island Salmon were also pretty good. I liked the firmness of the Mahi Mahi but the Seared Salmon was so tender and delicious. It had a sweet corn puree, summer succotash, Matunuck Microgreens pea shoots and strawberry salsa. Now for my standard comments. Parking is an open parking lot right in front of the restaurant but it is easy to miss the entrance if you are not familiar with the town or roads. Location is well kept and clean. Indoor dining was comfortable.

We really enjoyed our meal and sitting out on the deck next to the water. It's a beautiful location, and the service was excellent. Our server Trina was great, made some good suggestions and made us feel like long-time friends. The only thing this place needs to work on are the bathrooms. Both my wife and I were a bit surprised by the gross conditions of the men's and women's bathrooms. You can't help but wonder if this is carrying over to the kitchen.

The Velvet Mill is a historic brick factory that used to produce velvets in the late 19th century with 300 broad looms and a staff of 450. Today, it houses a community of small businesses, creating an evocative space for visitors. The area also features two fantastic wineries, Stonington Vineyards and Saltwater Farm Vineyard, offering wine tastings and live music. Additionally, the mill hosts a cute marketplace where vendors sell handmade products.
This is my second time coming here with my friends on Thanksgiving weekend and it’s so much fun. So many local vendors and artisans selling the things they make, it makes for a great day of buying unique gifts for friends and family. Parking is somewhat limited, so prep ahead in advance if you have to do street parking.

Great stop! This place is huge with lots of antique shops, restaurants, art galleries, etc. We had a delicious lunch at Masa and many of the shop owners were very nice. I wish I could’ve checked out more shops, but some were closed (understandable for a Sunday morning) and we had limited time.

This is a very eclectic place that has nice indoor open spaces, many dining and beverage options as well as shopping and a great Indoor Farmers Market. Great for all ages you can spend a few hours a few minutes, there's so many nice shops as well as a great vibe in this place. If you're not local it's also adjacent to Stonington Borough and the point which is a nice place to hang out and watch the waves come in from Long Island Sound and barn Island.

Fantastic Mexican restaurant. Good vibes and good music. There is an upstairs and downstairs seating area. We came for lunch on a Wednesday and were able to be seated right away. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. Although a little pricey, the food was amazing. Highly recommend the chips & salsa or the guacamole & salsa. Limited street parking.

It's been a few years since we visited because we moved out of the area, but this was just as amazing as we remembered! Chips and salsa were on point, the fish tacos and enchilada Verde were tasty! Service was friendly and efficient. Ten out of ten recommend!!!

First impression is tight. When you walk in, end of bar is a couple feet from the door (no hostess). Staff are very pleasant and helpful, though. Bar area on first floor, dining room on second floor, and then there was outside seating. DH loves a good fish taco, and they def delivered. I had the special: pan seared scallops in sauce. So good. While there, a drink mishap happened on the steps. No freak out or drama. Just cleaned up and moved on.

The service and atmosphere was spectacular! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and very clean! The drinks were lovely! I recommend the watermelon Mexican soda, or the mandarin Mexican soda, but they also have more simple options as well!! For appetizers we just got chips and guacamole. The chips are freshly fried corn tortillas and the guacamole was so flavorful!! The food was absolutely spectacular! The chicken tacos were some of the best tacos I’ve ever had ! They had the right amount of spice and flavor and you can have a choice of side as well! We didn’t get dessert however the dessert menu also looks very appealing! We will definitely be back frequently! This place is an absolute gem!!

Four of us had a delicious breakfast at this great little coffee shop, including two of us who are vegan. Don’t be fooled by the posted menu, which doesn’t list any vegan options and says “no substitutions.” In fact, the friendly and helpful staff person offered to “vegans” just about any dish we were interested in, and we had a delicious vegan meal. We will definitely go back the next time we are in town.
