S & P Oyster - Mystic, CT

I have visited Mystic quite a few times, but it was my first time eating at S & P Oyster. I heard many great things about the restaurant, so I finally decided to try it out. 



Their dining room is open again. with effective social distancing and health practices being implemented, but they also have outdoor seating in a portion of their parking lot, as well as surrounded by tons of beautiful plants, the iconic drawbridge, and the view of the water. 

I ordered the S & P Seafood Pasta, with shrimp, sea scallops, calamari, mussels, fettuccine, white wine garlic sauce, and freshly chopped herbs. which was the ideal size for dinner. I ended up taking the rest home for lunch the next day.




For appetizers, I had Prosciutto Wrapped Sea Scallops. It was wood grilled and served with cilantro sauce, piquillo pepper & jicama salsa, and charred corn, kind of like a corn salsa. I also had Spinach & Artichoke Dip, and it was the best I've had in awhile! It was topped with freshly shaved parmesan, and served with some very fluffy style chip to dip into it. I also tried the Oysters Rockefeller, which were topped with spinach and cheese and baked...YUM!





The Warm Focaccia was drizzled with rosemary, and garlic balsamic infused olive oil. It was the perfect start to the meal. 



And of course, a side order of spinach because what good is dinner without vegetables!

Towards the end of the night, the Mystic Drawbridge went up and I was able to watch it from my table. Overall, it was quite a cool experience!

I definitely plan on coming back here again and try out some of their other menu items...if only I get a day off from work soon!

Abbott’s Lobster in the Rough - Noank, CT

Definitely the BEST lobster roll I’ve had all season so far! And just look at the size of those oysters! Right next to Costello’s Clam Shack, Abbott’s has more steamed seafood, so if you’re looking for some fried clams, you won’t find them here, you’d have to drive over to the shipyard next door, and get them there. Abbott’s is a great place to be on a hot summer day, with outdoor seating along the water; watch the ships sail by and dig into a nice big lunch!

Red 36 - Mystic, CT

This restaurant in the heart of Mystic is just down the road from the Mystic Drawbridge and is right on the water, overlooking all the boats docked for the season. The atmosphere is welcoming, as you see families and friends sitting out on their boats, eating and napping under the hot sun. The temperature gets a little colder for outdoor seating here, but if you grab a light jacket and some Sperry Top-Siders, you'll fit in quite nicely. Most of their dining is already outside, but they added some patio seating in areas of the parking lot, and some Adirondack chairs for lounging in front of the pier. The bar is not open yet, in accordance with the policies of the state of CT, so they are continuing to offer their Happy Hour menu, anywhere in the restaurant from 4-6, Monday through Friday. They are not yet taking reservations to dine-out, but even with the number of people on the waitlist when I arrived, what they said would be a 40 minute wait, ended up being only 15-20 minutes....
