Anthony J’s Bistro could be the best kept secret in Mystic. Whoops, I probably shouldn’t have said that. It’s not a very big restaurant but it has great charm. Its atmosphere is quiet and intimate with great food and a great staff. Our waiter was Joe and he attended to our every need, from taking pictures (of wine bottle labels no less) to supporting our pace of dining, which was leisurely. We started with the world famous garlic bread which was devoured instantly. We ordered one garden salad which we split three ways and we were completely satisfied. The men had the crispy duck over a bed of risotto (we passed on the baby spinach, but I’m sure it would have been excellent for those spinach eaters). It also comes with raspberry sauce which we asked to be on the side to ensure maximum crispy for the duck. The duck was perfectly cooked and did not disappoint. The other entree was the chicken puttanesca which included a southern Italian sauce that is a briny collaboration of anchovies, olives, and capers within a chunky tomato base. A perfect blend of flavors with no fishy taste at all. I recommend Anthony J’s if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the downtown Mystic restaurants for a more secluded setting with great food and great service.

Only giving two stars because the service was good. This was the worst dining experience I’ve had in a very long time.

Went here for dinner with my bachelorette party. The food was very good! The drinks were good and well made. The staff was friendly and checked on us often. The atmosphere is very nice and comfortable.

Great vibes here, and even better food. Outdoor patio is a chill spot. Heaters outside for the cool nights. Service was great, quick, and friendly, but only two parties when we ate here.

Good drinks, nice atmosphere, friendly and efficient service. Food was a disappointment. My mushroom stroganoff was loaded with mushrooms, but was very bland. Moreover, I found a piece of sausage and different pasta in my dish. I’m not a vegetarian, but such things are not acceptable, especially for a restaurant at this price point.

I have eaten here many times in the past. It was just myself this past time and service wasn’t as attentive as usual (no refills on water and no one checked on me). Staff was very pleasant though when we did interact. Food was good but not as good as I remember. Garlic bread was a bit bland. Caesar was very good as usual. Pasta was just ok and very heavy creamy sauce. I would still give it another go but just not as good as in the past

Amazing quality, presentation, atmosphere. Great place to enjoy a spectacular meal and have meaningful conversations as the lighting, noise level, great wait staff and set up made you feel like your table was the only one. Try the hot rocks!

This place is really romantic, cozy and a great place to dine. I was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance because it looked much nicer in person than the photos depicted. We sat outside on the side patio as recommended by another reviewer, and it was perfect. I ordered Lava Rock Teriyaki Steak which was so amazingly good. It comes out raw on a 650° rock and you cook it to your liking. It cooks really fast, you just flip it once or twice. It gives off a little bit of smoke for the first minute but then it mostly goes away. Because of the smoke (I assume), it is noted as being *only available at the outdoor seating* .. so that’s another reason to take the patio. Service was really fast and on point. It’s also centrally located downtown so you can easily roam the area afterwords and get to know Mystic better. Everything was just great all around. I would love to go back again.
