Wow, it’s been awhile since we have been here. I ordered the soup of the day. It was a street corn chowder, the best ever. Then the meatballs so tender then fried outside delicious. My husband ordered the chili, loved it! He also, ordered the sliced garlic steak … perfection! We sat at the bar, great service such teamwork. Love the place, we will be back.

It was our first time at this restaurant, please please update your lighting!! Doesn't have to be bright, but it was even hard to read the menu during the day.
We ordered fish and chips (amazing) and sirloin, salad, French onion soup, and mashed potatoes. My steak wasnt cooked too correct temp, and was a little bland, but was still decent. Possibly you should order it medium rare if you want it medium cuz it was overcooked.
Everything else was good minus the fact that the server forgot my soup, i received it after my meal and the soup was comped.
I will return to try the happy hour items.

This place will defiantly be on our list of spots we visit every year. Fresh delicious food and a great price. For the price you pay you get a lot of food. I got the fish and chips. For starters the fish was huge (our waitress said they buy the fish fresh every day). The breading was crispy and tasty. It also came with a cup of clam chowder. My wife got the steak and chicken and it looked and tasted great and the steak was cooked perfectly. Definitely would highly recommend it here!

Wanted to take my boyfriend here since he's never eaten here and I haven't been in many years. We called ahead because my boyfriend in a power wheelchair and we wanted to make sure we could get proper seating. We talked to a Nigel and he was very accommodating and greeted us when we arrived. We ordered our meals and I like you get a salad bar with your meal as one of your sides. I had tenderloin tips with a mushroom gravy and my boyfriend had top sirloin. Very good but came out before our sides came out. So we ate our main part then the sides came. Had a good waitress but she was very busy and couldn't really get refills nor a box or bill without waiting for a bit. Everything great until we go to leave and we are parked in handicapped in front of the restaurant and someone is parked diagonally behind us with their car running in the middle of the road with no occupant. We put the ramp down and my boyfriend couldn't get into the van. Of course it starts to rain. I ran inside and the hostess came out and was super apologetic and got right on it. Took the license plate and another staff person came out and told us how sorry she was and how this wasn't right and would fix it as quickly as they could locate the person. Finally the person comes out and says" oops,sorry." Seriously no care that we waited in the rain, couldn't get in our van and couldn't leave. Seriously a dumbfounding moment but the restaurant staff were on top of that so we were greatful.

Great food and wonderful staff. I love the bar here and the band was fantastic! It was Amy Winehouse’s birthday and I enjoyed the tribute song. My steak was amazing! Mashed potatoes are creamy and delicious. Great drink selection and great service.

We had such a wonderful experience at Steakloft! The food was absolutely amazing—perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and so satisfying. What made the evening even more special was our waitress Faith. She was so kind and attentive, and I really appreciated how seriously she took my gluten-free needs. She double-checked everything with the kitchen and made me feel completely at ease, which is not always the case when dining out. Her thoughtful care, along with the delicious meal, made the night perfect. Highly recommend Steakloft for both the food and the outstanding service!

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional dining experience my family and I had today at the Steak Loft in Mystic, CT.

Our waiter, Doug, truly made our visit memorable. He was not only funny and hardworking but also spoke highly of the Steak Loft and even shared some family recipes.

We thoroughly enjoyed every dish, from the French onion soup and wedge salads to the amazing steaks and desserts. It was also wonderful to find a delicious gluten-free dessert option for my daughter. The prices, food, and service were all excellent.

We will definitely be making the 50-mile drive back soon and will be sure to ask for Doug. This is truly a five-star restaurant!

Sincerely,
Jay Richardson

Nice setting. You get to choose a formal setting in the main dining area or a more relaxed setting by the bar. Very generous servings. I couldn't finish my salad. Had the steak and crab cakes with the side being baked potato. I forgot to take a picture of the main course as I was eager to dive in.

The meal was delicious and the waitress was excellent. I would definitely recommend it if you are visiting Groton

Went here for my birthday and the food was good. While they don't have the salad bar back yet they let you pick out any salad with an entree. The steak was cooked perfectly and their homemade dressing is amazing.

Waitress was excellent. Food and drinks were wonderful as well. Decor was dark wood 70’s-80’s style but we loved the old school feel.

Stacy is an excellent waitress very friendly. The food was so good, cooked just the way we like it. The salad bar has been closed for some time but the salad that comes with the meal is super tasty. The atmosphere was quiet because we sat in the back room. Great visit and can't wait to go back when we are in Mystic.
