    Mystic Fish rises to the occasion once again! We enjoyed a delicious and delightful meal with our out of town friends for Valentine’s Day. The menu provided wonderful options - we chose the Maine Lobster tails, Land and sea with lobster and filet, the sea bass and the grouper with the hogfish preparation. All dishes were cooked perfectly and served expertly by our friendly wait staff who also had a great sense of humor. Our out of town friends were duly impressed and I’m sure Mystic Fish will be on their agenda next visit.

    We had a remarkable Valentine’s dining experience here. The chefs here are creative & talented & we were so happy to find a restaurant serving food like this in this area, as we have found these kind of choices to be lacking. Between the two of us we had the house made naan with liver pâté that was outstanding, the scallops starter, the sirloin and cod entrees & the most delicious goat cheesecake for dessert. Everything was cooked & seasoned to perfection and the presentation was on point. Table service was friendly and at a comfortable pace. Don’t let the location in the strip mall fool you- the food being created in this restaurant is as good as many fine dining places in big foodie cities. We will definitely be back Next time we will reserve for seating at the bar so we can watch these chefs in action. Bravo!👏🏻

    Food was very good quality for the price. Wednesdays had a $3 discount per meal which was a nice surprise. The separate pastry shop, everything looked delicious but I found the frosting was too heavy and greasy.
