Great happy hour with a real bang for your buck! There were so many delicious options that we had trouble deciding and even joked that we would go back the next night to try the things we couldn't eat. I ordered a yummy Mai Tai to start. It's Thurs. and their special of $1 oysters was perfect. Then we continued with the Char Siu Pork bowl and it tasted just like roasted pork from Chinatown with sticky rice and a mango salsa. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous and delicious portion for the Korean Fried Chicken Wings. My husband enjoyed the Birria Beef Taco and by the time the Dan Dan Noodles arrived we were pretty satiated but they were too good not too devour every last bite. Service was extremely friendly and helpful and we were so warmly greeted by Rosanne (the manager, I believe) There is plenty of parking and its a bright large and very inviting place to eat and relax. I promise we will be back and tell our friends.

We were a party of 13 and Zach, our server, handled it all seamlessly. We had pork belly ramen, ahí tuna bowl, cooked oysters, halibut, scallops, miso soup, you name it! Delish! We had a room all to ourselves, and they presented wonderfully for my niece’s birthday. Run! Don’t walk. This place had a fabulous menu and we were thrilled with it all! We’ll be back!
Response from the owner:We're thrilled that we could make your niece's birthday special. We can't wait to welcome you back for another fantastic dining experience!

Love this place! I used to go when they were across from mystic! I didn't think they could get any better, but apparently I was wrong. Food is amazing, staff are super friendly and the atmosphere is gorgeous. If I could give 10 stars I would! This is a must if you visit Connecticut!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and our team's hospitality. We appreciate your continued support and look forward to welcoming you back for another exceptional experience!

We have been coming to Mystic for almost 10 years. When go fish opened it became our favorite restaurant! The food has always been amazing, from the lobster bisque to sushi, and the seafood pastas are always amazing. All of the folks there are very nice! We went up between Christmas and New years and were sad that they were in the process of moving to a nee location.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your review, Mike! We're thrilled to hear that Go Fish Restaurant has been your favorite restaurant in Mystic for nearly 10 years. We take pride in serving amazing dishes, from our lobster bisque to our sushi, and our seafood pastas. It's great to know that you've always enjoyed them. We appreciate your kind words about our staff as well. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our recent move to a new location between Christmas and New Year's. We hope to welcome you back soon!

It was a really nice restaurant. Very aquatic themed and staff were all friendly and ready to help. Ordered the spicy Ramen with beef. WAS SO GOOD! Wish they had a non spicy version for a sweet lovers but it was still good. I would definitely come here again. There are also some items on the menu for people who aren't fish fans such as the Ramen, cheeseburger and a couple others.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful 5-star review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed our aquatic-themed atmosphere and friendly staff. While the spicy ramen you mentioned is no longer part of our updated menu, we’re excited to offer a variety of new dishes inspired by Pacific Rim flavors that we hope you’ll love just as much. It’s great to know you appreciated the diverse options for both seafood lovers and non-seafood fans alike. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon!

NOT a "Fry shack" by any means. The menu is not extensive but the food is upscale. I had the "Lobster loves Lobster -grilled cheese", ok a $30 sandwich... Worth every bit of it. They were not skimpy with the Lobster at all. Very tasty on awesome bread. The Mussel dish was great too. Could not stop sopping up the broth with he grilled bagget. My wife had the fried fish sandwich. HUGE piece of very tasty fish, nice batter coating , she was not disappointed. We were recommended to try the $12 cake for dessert. I was a bit leary of paying $12 for a piece of cake but we were again "wowed" by this marvelous confection. Very friendly staff too!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your fantastic 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your visit and appreciated the upscale dining experience. While some of the dishes you mentioned, like the Lobster Grilled Cheese and mussels, are no longer part of our updated menu, we’re excited for you to try our new Pacific Rim-inspired offerings. Your kind words about the food and friendly staff mean so much to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable experience!

Pretty great place, real close to the Olde Mystick Village, a perfect place to traumatize your kids after taking them to the aquarium. Or maybe your kids are psychopaths. The food is very tasty, the atmosphere feels formal but it's not - you can wear anything. And it was surprisingly uncrowded when we went around 12:30 on a Sunday. I highly recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your unique and fantastic 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tasty food, relaxed atmosphere, and convenient location near Olde Mistick Village. Your recommendation means so much to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another great visit!

My family and I had such a wonderful dining experience here. After an awful 3 hour drive from New York thru traffic, then spending the day next door at the Mystic Aquarium on a chilly Saturday in April we were so thankful to get a table here so quickly considering we were told there would be an hour wait. We were seated 15 minutes later. This is a large, busy restaurant with 2 kitchens serving excellent food from their overwhelmingly diverse menu. Our waiter Will was exceptional and a true professional at his job. The food was excellent as well and very reasonably priced. Thank you all for a wonderful dining experience and we can't wait to come back.

My family had a wonderful, memorable meal here. We're so glad we decided to try Go Fish Restaurant. We chose it because we wanted to let our 11 year old try some seafood at a semi-upscale restaurant without feeling like he'd be unwelcome at someplace overly stuffy. This was perfect. It had a beautiful, artistic atmosphere with paintings, glass chandeliers and gorgeous glass fish sculptures for sale. Big, open spacious interior. Very comfortable. The food was delicious! We ordered: children's salmon, (plainly cooked,) steamed mussels, raw oysters and clams, spicy tuna sushi roll, and two different seafood pastas that were superb! Highly recommend this restaurant for families, or special occasions and dates.

My partner/soulmate and I went there on Oct 12th 2021 at around 7:30pm as we had reservations. The atmosphere was absolutely amazing. Very chilled and relaxed. There were barriers between our table and some others and my partner and I loved that. We felt safe. The staff were super friendly and amazing. And I believe our waiter, if I got his name right was Zack and the waitress who was training with him, I apologize I forgot her name. Shame on me for that one. She was an absolute sweetheart too to us and got us our drinks and whatnot. I feel bad for that. Zack was phenomenal and very attentive and so wasn't his partner. Again so sorry I forgot her name😓. Anyways my partner had the Pan Seared Sea Scallops that had crab and and lemon risotto. She LOOOVED it very much. She let me have a taste of the risotto and I said I wish I had gotten that one lol. I had the Grilled Asian Salmon and O....M....G......it was absolutely PERFECT. Loved every bite of it. And for dessert my partner and I both had Bread Pudding.......I wish I would've ordered one to go because it was that amazing lol. Anyways my experience and my beautiful partners experience......we LOVED it here at Go Fish. She loved the friendly people. The waiter and the decor of the place and everything. It was truly a special night. This place EASILY deserves 5 stars in my opinion. Anything less is offensive lol. Worth every penny.

Family (5 of us total, including 3 kids) stopped by for lunch this past Sunday. I think we beat the rush at around 12:30pm because by the time we left, the place was packed and there was a line of people waiting to be seated. We started with the calamari appetizer to share, which was really good. I liked the way that the calamari was lightly breaded, and also that there were some jalapenos in there as well to add some uniqueness to the dish. I got the fish tacos (salmon), which were really tasty, with big pieces of fish. It didn't come with any sides, but I felt good after eating some calamari earlier. My 9 year old got the kids fish n chips, my 6 year old the kids pasta, and my 3 year old got the kids chicken strips. They all had no complaints. My wife enjoyed her salmon sandwich, and the chips that came with it seemed freshly made. One negative, since I am a hot sauce fan, is that they only carried Tabasco hot sauce, but the food itself was excellent, the service prompt and friendly, and it was an overall great dining experience for our family. 5 stars, and we hope to be back.

The only thing better than the staff is 1/2 price wine on Wednesday! Stop down and make some new friends, and enjoy the food!

Great restaurant located right inside Old Mystic Village, 1st time here and would love to return. 1st night in Mystic we decided to try out to restaurant. We sat outside. It was great, nice and quiet weekday for dinner with my kids and I. We ordered 2 dishes of penne pasta, caesar salad, cod fish sandiwch with chips and an order of fries. Every dish was delicious. I was very happy with my fish sandiwich. Service was good, staff was friendly. Cant wait to come back when I am in the area. Thanks!
