Mystic Connecticut waterfront restaurants provide pleasure to the tongue

Dining right by the water is lovely, and the view from Saybrook Point Resort & Marina’s Fresh Salt restaurant is spectacular, but it’s the food that keeps customers coming back. Whether you’re dining inside at an elegant table or al fresco to enjoy the water breezes, you’ll love what’s on the seasonal menus. You might start with clam chowder, fried calamari, local oysters from the raw bar or an artisanal cheese board. Entrees might include seared Atlantic salmon, Tuscan duck ragout and butternut gnocchi – or a lobster roll. Or you might just want a juicy burger and a local craft brew. The award-winning restaurant also has an extensive wine list, and its bartenders create a variety of specialty cocktails (ask about the cranberry mojito).

Paddy's Beach Club offers an unforgettable ocean view, salt air and warm breezes along with a no-smoking dining area to enjoy a great assortment of food and spirits. Starters include calamari, quesadillas, stuffies and more. Paddy’s famous burgers are always made from 100% certified Angus beef and cooked the way you like them. There's also the Chicken Popper and Porky Mac burgers, as well as our lobster rolls - a New England standard! If a salad is to your liking, try our Tuna Tartar with a wonderful asian-style salad featuring seaweed, ginger and soy. And as always there's great seafood, including fish & chips, fried clam bellies and strips, and our Kids Menu!
