My wife and I visited Mystic for our anniversary and decided to stop by Red56 for a late lunch.
This was our first meal in the New England states and high fairly high expectations.
We started off with appetizers. My wife had the clam chowder and I had the lobster Mac and cheese.
My wife said the chowder was good, not great. My lobster Mac and cheese was tasty with large pieces of lobster mixed with the spiral noodles.
For our entrees, she chose the lobster carbonara and I chose the fish and chips.
She said the carbonara had very little flavor.
The fish was good and the fresh cut fries were also very tasty.
The main drawback to our visit was the price. I don’t think it was worth $99. For 2 appetizers, 2 entrees and 2 waters.

We really enjoyed our meals! The patio location is wonderful, right on the water and umbrellas to avoid the direct sun. The food was well-prepared, tasty and portions are large. The fish and chips was cooked perfectly, and the fish was flaky.
We would highly recommend this restaurant!

We were with a group of 12 people for dinner. We had a reservation and arrived at around 5:00. Our food and drinks were good, but a little
after 7:00 they started clearing out table. We still had dessert and drinks on the table. Without asking, right after getting all of our credit card payments, they cleared the entire table taking my 3/4 full (and fully paid for) drink and several of our party’s desserts. The server told us we needed to leave because there was another big party waiting that needed our table. WHAT???? Our bill was well over a thousand dollars and they put a 20% tip on top of that. While this is fine, they should not have taken my drink or taken the uneaten desserts and kicked us out of our table. I have never experienced anything like this at any restaurant anywhere. They never told us that we only had a 2 hour window for dinner. I cannot recommend this restaurant especially for a large group.

Food was so good, great service and d location is so pretty
Love the vibe inside, good for families, couples or hanging with friends

Came here based on a recommendation from a friend who used to live here, and we were not disappointed. My wife had a lobster roll that was filled with tender lobster. I had whole fried clams which were tender and tasty. Along with a glass of local draft beer and a glass of wine made for one of our best meals during our trip around New England.
