We were in Mystic for 2 days, we ate dinner here on Sunday evening and everything, I mean everything wasfantastic. The steak, the sides, the desert, the salads, namely the Grain Salad could not have been better and the service wasexcellent. So good in fact we went back on Monday for lunch, just for the Grain Salad. Yes it was that good! However, round twowas somewhat of a Murphy 's law visit. Just about everything was wrong. Firstly, the girl at the door was more than rude. Thesame salad that delivered amazing presentation and taste the evening before was now some kind of uneventful, thrown togetherbunch of greens missing half the ingredients. The cheesecake was, well, let 's just say it didn 't get eaten. However I want tonote that we took home a carrot cake that was excellent. The flour-less chocolate tort is also amazing. We eventually spoke tothe manager who was very polite and understanding. Apparently there was nothing 'wrong ' with the cheesecake, it was just thetaste of that vendors recipe that they would no longer be using. The issue with the salad was apparently a new untrained chefwhereas the person who made it the night before had to be moved to line cook due to staffing shortages. So the end result is,this place has some damn good food. Very reasonably priced. Great portions and wonderful service. As long as the right peopleare working when you go. If you have a bad experience, tell them but give them a second chance. Well worth the visit, willdefinitely eat here again on our next trip.

The fish and chips were good, but I have had better and have had worse. What I enjoyed the most was the clamchowder and Caesar salad. The chowder had alot of flavor with no fishy taste at all. The salad was good, and had the rightamount of dressing.
