Red 36

Quality, fresh, innovative food on the water.

Following in the footsteps of Bravo Bravo and Olio, Red 36 is yet another wildly prosperous coastal restaurant owned by CK Restaurant Group. However, for this restaurant, in particular, location played an enormous role not only in its success but also in the development of its visual identity.

Situated right on the water in Mystic, CT, Red 36 gets its name from the red buoy ocean markers that guide the area’s fishermen and boaters. Taking cues from its namesake and drawing from its stunning seaside views, Box 8 had a lot of fun creating the restaurant’s branding and identity, giving the open-air space a fresh, modern look with nautically-inspired collateral, environmental signage, and more.
