10. Par Four Restaurant

Par 4 is reliably good. Nothing much ever changes. The building itself is on the shabby side, but the views are pretty great. Service was polite and efficient, but didn't particularly stand out. They seemed very willing to accommodate individual preference or dietary restrictions. The menu seems to have shrunk some since previous times of been there. It is a good place to meet friends. Nothing outstanding, but nothing disappointing either.

My wife and I stopped in during an overnight stay in Mystic. I chose this restaurant based on the TripAdvisor reviews. This place is centrally located in downtown Mystic. It was a busy Saturday night, so it took about 30 minutes to get a table. The restaurant is clean and tastefully decorated. The manager was great. He was personable and professional. The server (Keely?) was very friendly, knew the menu, and was very efficient with her service. We ordered the clam chowder, fish n chips, and the Black fish special. All the food was tasty, but the chowder was one of the best I ever had (and I grew up in Massachusetts and vacation every year in Maine). The chowder was thick and well seasoned. I will return to the Mariner the next time Iâm in the area.We're so glad you enjoyed everything at The Mariner. We're pretty proud of our clam chowder here. Hope to see you again very soon!

We were with good friends and decided to stop for a late lunch/early dinner. We settled on baked clams, spinach artichoke dip with focaccia toast, and a crab cake. We shared all and then turned our attention to our terrific lobster rolls. Wow, they were good! The only thing missing here was a cold glass of wine or a cold beer to accompany our wonderful food. We settled on iced tea instead.

We went to Dev's for tapas on Valentines Day. The food is incredible and the price is right! Everything we had was awesome. The ribs had a wonderful smoky flavor, the beer cheese fries tasted gourmet, the Scooter melt was delicious- it had flavors I would never expect to go together. The Red Dragon Noodle Bowl was to die for. It really stole the show. The flavors are authentic and are presented beautifully. I highly suggest the cheesesteak bruschetta also. Honestly everything we had was a home run. The decor is modern, clean, and the ambiance was comfy and upscale. The owner came to every table and chatted without being overbearing. She even gave us a hug before we left, what a sweet woman- she truly enhanced our visit. This really is a hidden gem in New London, and I can't wait to go back this weekend for brunch.

The quality of your dish will depend directly on the chief who works at kitchen. We visited this restaurant four times, impressions of the first three were above any praises. The fourth time disappointed us. My linguini were, almost, shipped in oil, and tomatoes were sour. It is sad that one unsuccessful time spoiled the previous impressions of visit of restaurant. I do not recommend to take a dessert - the woman who prepares them the hot fan of sugar))

On a raw misty evening we found our usual favorites closed for the season and Trip Advisor lead us here. It being a Monday we had our choice of seats and we were greeted quickly. Our drink orders taken we perused the menu which contained mostly Italian items, but also included Greek, seafood and traditional items. My wife had baked haddock 6 large pieces with salad and baked potato. I had liver served with bacon and onions salad and baked potato. All portions were huge, enough for several meals at home. With some protein the salads would be enough for a meal! A great neighbor hood restaurant, not far off the main drag. Thanks Trip Advisor

Went here for lunch. Food is really really good! Very tasty. Veggies are fresh and crunchy and not over cooked! Theyâve lunch special which cost $10. Comes with soup or salad and the main dish. Serving is good enough for 1 person. When we went there sushi was not available. Thereâs construction in the area so a bit confusing as to where the restaurant is. But we found the place!
