    Abbott’s Lobster in the Rough

    Lobster lovers should check out Abbott’s, on the waterfront in neighboring Noank. Order your lobster (or other seafood) at the window, get a number, pick out a table by the water and, when your number is called, pay and dig in. New England doesn’t get much better than this on a warm summer night. Just down the road is Abbott’s sister business, Costello’s Clam Shack, open similar hours. To reach both from Mystic, take Water St/Rte 215 southwest. When you reach a stop sign take a left (Mosher Ave) and stay right when it divides. Turn left onto Main St and right onto Pearl. BYOB beer or wine.

    Captain Daniel Packer Inne

    This friendly place occupies a 1754 historic house on the west side of the bridge, complete with low-beam ceiling and creaky floorboards. Locals rave about the ocean views as well as the restaurant’s imaginative American cuisine; favorites include the petite filet mignon with Gorgonzola sauce and walnut demi-glace and the shrimp and scallops Provençale.

    Flood Tide

    Reserve a window table with a view overlooking the grounds of the inn at Mystic or grab a seat by the wood-fired oven for the upscale yet informally presented fare here. The house pâté is exquisite, the seafood fresh and steaks attentively prepared. The Sunday brunch is a sumptuous affair worth the trip even if you’re not staying at the Inn.

    Kitchen Little

    Join various staff of Mystic Seaport Museum for breakfast and grab a seat at one of the tables on the back patio overlooking the water to trawl through the lengthy, egg-heavy menu. Try the Mystic Melt, featuring crabmeat and cream cheese scrambled with eggs on raisin toast. No credit cards accepted.

    Restaurant Bravo Bravo

    This low-lit eatery with a lively bar scene serves up nouvelle Italian food – flavorsome and inventive pastas, seafood and beef – in a sleek, modern setting. The wine selection is wide, and the champagne risotto with lobster and asparagus is truly wonderful.

    Mystic Pizza

    If the name sounds familiar, it’s because it was the title of one of Julia Roberts’ first films. The place might have inspired the movie, but sadly, the pizza, salads and grinders will inspire only the movie’s most devoted fans.

    S&P Oyster Co

    On a summer day, there's nothing better than dining on the waterfront. This reliable seafood eatery, famous for oysters on the half shell and hefty portions of fish and chips, is in the town center at the east side of the drawbridge.
