Editorial suggestion — the setting
S&P's location beside the Mystic River drawbridge is the draw: a rail or window table puts the river and the bridge in view. Check the official site for current reservation options before a summer evening.
S&P Oyster
Waterfront seafood right at the Mystic drawbridge
Waterfront seafood house at the Mystic drawbridge — our #1 ranked lobster roll, a proper raw bar, and the best deck in town.
S&P sits in the single most photographed spot in Mystic — feet from the bascule bridge, with the river running underneath the deck. That location alone would fill the room. It's on our list for pairing that setting with a full seafood menu.
It's a full-scale waterfront seafood house: raw bar, lobster rolls, fried classics, and a dining room upstairs with the best window seats in town. Check the official site for current reservation options, especially in season.
