Go for an intimate dinner or to meet some locals at the bar. The food is delicious! We always eat from the specials. They do not take reservations and there is always a wait - but well worth it. My husband and I got engaged here.

Locared at the back of Seaport Marine Shipyard, Red, is a Mystic hot spot. The interior mimics a ship with 270° views of the Mystic River and downtown buildings through their floor to ceiling windows. The back deck is pretty spectacular as well. Land, sea and raw bar on the menu with some stellar cocktails, too. Happy Hour Monday-Friday 4-6
