Mezza

The Pita Spot, now called Mezza. Great Mediterranean/Lebanese food and a must stop if you are only dining out a few times. They were just voted best Mediterranean
Mezza Mystic CT
restaurant in Connecticut about six months ago and have stacks of other awards! Very friendly, locally owned. No longer BYOB, which the only the disappointment about the place.
The LaLa chicken is incredible! Their appetizer combo and the calamari with couscous are also excellent, but it would be difficult to find a bad thing on the menu. The kibbie, and kabobs are also incredible. They have a whipped garlic sauce to die for! Make sure to say hi to the owner, Vivian and her brothers Tony and Eddy and the server, Lori for us. We went in there strangers about ten years ago and like everyone else that goes in that place now feel like family. Even inviting them to our daughters wedding! It is only about five minutes from the house.

Stonington Seafood Harvesters is owned by the Bombster family and is a local institution.

The customer selects what they want out of the freezers, which are filled with scallops, etc, uses the provided adding machine to calculate what they owe and either deposits a cash payment or check in a slo...

Block Island

Block Island is a full doable day trip. Many of our guests have come back for many many years and may want to venture out a bit. You can take a ferry from Point Judith or New London and there is no need to take your car with you. never have left from New London so not sure what the timing or price difference is. I would try to catch one of the first ferries out in the morning to have more time there. It is a great place to rent bikes, mopeds or even a convertible to tour this wild natural Island twelve miles off the coast of Rhode Island. There are a ton of taxi tours if you want a guided tour. "The Nature Conservancy has designated Block Island one of the 12 last great places in the Western Hemisphere" Whatever that means. ! It is truly beautiful with bluffs, cliffs, hiking trails, farmland, light houses and a beautiful little town where you disembark from the ferry that you could be happy in all day if you do not want to tour the island. I found Littlefield Bee f...
