Brava to Chef Jennifer for an outstanding menu and exquisite execution. The presentation is a little too precious, but the dinner with wine pairing was five stars!

Wow, wow, wow! You know the restaurant is damn good if you dream of writing a review about it after the meal. I could talk about the beautifully restored mansion and fine service, but I will just cut to the chase. I took my wife here for her birthday and we were offered a choice of two different 6 course tasting menus, one protein based with either beef or venison and the other vegetarian based. We chose one of each tasting menu. The chef went 12/12 on delivering each course with a true artistic flare only to be matched by incredible flavor. To deliver every dish to that standard is no small feat. She rose to the challenge of pushing herself to be both creative and also to have the flavors of each dish come together so perfectly on our palates. We have been to many fine dining establishments but the restaurant at Spicer mansion stands apart. It was a true privilege to experience the meal and I offer my sincerest compliments to the chef. Bravo!

Spicer Mansion, Mystic CN - was it worth the 2 1/2 hour drive from Manhattan? Yes definitely. This place has not been open for long and there is a hotel attached to it. We had the special Thanksgiving five course tasting menu. There was another vegetarian only five course tasting menu. The whole ambiance is excellent with a short cocktail session in a salon first where a personalized menu is delivered and then a move to the sedate dining room where the tables are well-separated and the conversation is hushed. The staff are very attentive and extremely knowledgeable. The food is exquisitely served but this is not a place for a full-blown blow-out. taste and presentation take precedence over quantity. It is certainly not a cheap experience and the wine is priced on the high side but is very well preserved and served and of excellent quality. This is not for everyday dining (would that it were!!), but for a special occasion it is a real experience and extremely enjoyable at that. The house, itself is beautiful with a number of 'salon' rooms which have been wonderfully restored. The whole experience is very memorable.

This is a beautiful restaurant in every respect. We were there for Sunday lunch which was an excellent value at $55 prix fixe. I would describe the food as very French influenced, but open to other influences (for example, there were several pasta elements). The cocktails are elegant (anticipating the Speakeasy to be opened on the site soon). Our meal included a foie gras amuse, followed by a choice of two starts and three entrees. All were beautifully prepared. The dessert was a seasonal creme brulee variation. We had the wine pairings which included a glass of marsala with dessert. The staff was young engaged by their work. I encourage everyone in the area to support this relatively new venture.

Wow. Fabulous experience. It was our wedding anniversary and we loved everything...but be prepared that this is a very quiet and special place. The staff was fantastic , food exquisite and wine pairings were delicious and top shelf. It'll be an expensive evening but very memorable. Just keep in mind, it's intimate and small. And quiet. We're usually up for a livelier environment but wouldn't have changed a thing for that special night.
