A New Luxury Hotel in Coastal Connecticut Offers an Exceptional Culinary Experience.
We’re halfway through the signature six-course degustation menu at The Restaurant at Spicer Mansion in historic Mystic, Conn., and life is looking very good indeed.
The inn’s talented executive chef, Jennifer Backman, has already presented us with a plump East Beach Blonde oyster, Hudson Valley foie gras and Georges Bank sea scallops, all prepared to perfection.
Our table, one of only six in the intimate graytoned dining room, is set with Italian linens, Christofle silverware and a Baccarat crystal lamp.
A beautiful flower arrangement in the center of the room complements the antique furniture, Persian rug, parquet flooring and classic maritime art decorating the walls.
Still to come: homemade ravioli stuffed with Hopkins Farm lamb; a choice of New York beef or Long Island duck for the main course; and a delicious ice cream sundae paired with a flourless chocolate cake, spearmint and cherries.
Book an escape to this new and delightful New England retreat, located about three hours by car from New York City and only two hours from Boston, and you should definitely plan to arrive hungry.
