Bravo Bravo on East Main Street in Mystic is an excellent spot where you can get quick and friendly service and a stellar meal in a sophisticated atmosphere year-round. There are a number of excellent appetizers and menu courses to choose from, and it’s hard to go wrong. That said, here are some specific recommendations:

The light shrimp bruschetta appetizer ($13) served with sautéed artichokes, roasted tomatoes, and basil butter over a slice of thick cut, Italian toast; the must-try, juicy cheeseburger ($14) prepared simply with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onions (it comes with a small side salad, which can be substituted for delicious handcut fries); and the fish BLT of the day ($15 the day I ordered it.) It comes with field greens, bacon, tomato, and lemon chive mayonnaise, sandwiched between two triangular-cut slices of foccacia bread. I had it with salmon and liked it very much. I was told to get the crispy cod version, if it’s available. — Alex Nunes
