Kids might turn their noses up at oysters, but they’ll be happy at this bustling restaurant in the center of Mystic. Not only does it offer a full children’s menu of all the kids’ favorites, but it also gives parents the feel of an upscale restaurant that is still welcoming to families. Diners include day-boat cod, miso-ginger tuna, and salmon in caper sauce, served in a spacious, minimalist atmosphere. Better yet, it has just the right noise level; not so loud you can’t talk to your partner, but not so quiet that the outbursts of the kids are likely to cause embarrassment. In addition to the big windows with a view of passing boats on the river, the restaurant boasts a spacious outdoor patio screened from the street by flower gardens.
