Open since 2011, this renovated carriage house is one of the restaurants that put Mystic on the map as a dining destination. It’s the place to get down with a dozen oysters from the water you’ve been kayaking on all day. The rest of the menu leans local and seasonal too, with an excellent fish cheek sandwich on a baguette from Meryl Bakery, and day boat scallops so fresh you’ll owe the fisherman a thank you. During the summer months, head up to the Treehouse, a patio in the sky that serves a special themed menu. This year it’s Mexican, and you need to eat some summer squash guac followed by a lobster tostada before it’s fall.
