Let's start by reviewing the space. It's really nice and pretty, right by the water, it's a big restaurant with two levels, an outside bar and lots of tables. We arrived as soon as they opened basically and the waitress was really kind. The menu is ok, they don't have anything mind-blowing that you won't find anywhere else but the options are diverse and many dishes caught my attention. I was really happy to try their caipirinha, as a Brazilian myself, I can say their drink is authentic. I ordered a ceviche (sorry, did not take a pic) and oysters, my husband ordered crab cakes. The oysters were really fresh, although I was disappointed when I noticed they had different types in a little separate menu and the waitress did not confirm with us before placing the order, so they sent a random selection. The ceviche was inedible unfortunately, I believe they left the fish in the citrus marinade for too long and it completely overcooked, it was rubbery, bitter, fishy, not good at all, and it lacked acidity, which is imperative in any ceviche. My husband told me his crab cakes were good, I did not try so I can't really review them. The tuna tartare (in the pic) was really good, the texture contrast between the fish, the seaweed salad, the wasabi caviar and the the fried tortilla worked really well, that was probably the best dish of my lunch. Now apart from the food, the reason why I'm giving the place 2 stars (if it were only for the food I'd give it 3) is because the waitress asked us to leave because they have a 2 hour limit, even though we were constantly ordering something here and there. I totally understand that there are people waiting for a table (we did not know this place was that popular) but if they have a 2-hour policy, it would be nice to know that in advance, because we thought that as a restaurant/bar by the waterfront we could enjoy a nice summer afternoon having food and drinks. It sounded like this rule doesn't really exist for all costumers or else they would have it written somewhere or at least informed us in advance. So we left and went to another restaurant in which we stayed for longer and did not have to worry about how long we were there. Unfortunately not the best experience I've had in the New London / Mystic area.
