Oyster Club - MYSTIC

The food was super fresh and you can tell they take great pride in everything they put in their menu which changes daily. A favorite spot for us in this lovely town.

Sat at the bar for dinner. I ordered drink 21. Wow was that awful. It had a slick of oil on top. I understand that it was to have honey sesame oil but never expected globs of oil floating on top. I nicely told the bar tender that I didn’t like it and ordered a cosmo. His whole mood changed once I didn’t like his drink. He made me a cosmo that was yellow..straight lime juice and vodka. He then ignored us, never took our dinner order and was ignoring us chatting with the couple at the other end of the bar. The food was mediocre at best. Will never go back.

We reserved for 4:45 to get happy hour. Last time I was there, happy hour was served both in the dining room and the bar. This time we confronted the unhappy surprise that, despite our reservation time, we could not enjoy happy hour because the only tables available were in the dining room and they had changed their policy such that happy hour was not available there. In short, bait and switch.

First visit so I booked far in advance with a note requesting outdoor seating. Called a day before to make sure they got the note. About an hour before reservation, host called saying their outdoor area is first-come, first-served so would I please give up my reservation for someone who really wants it. I said no. Just writing this to say: that was really rude and weird. We wound up eating indoors because it was chilly that evening. Food was great!

Eating was super fresh and they can say that they are great proud of everything they put in their menu that changes daily. a favorite place for us in this beautiful city.
