Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Mashantucket

Our wait staff (there were 2) were excellent! Very attentive and courteous! Food: just plain okay. Chicken Fajita needed flavor.. cesser salad side was very good! (Should have ordered a chicken cesser salad) Noise level.. because we were seated in the back room, it was nice and quiet.

The presentation of the food is first class. I’m not an adventurous eater but I always find something on the menu that I like. Today I tried the filet mignon with marrow and the crisp lobster roll. The filet was done perfectly and the lobster with avocado was a taste combo I would never think to pair, but was outstanding! DJ got a little rowdy on us. The music was better suited to a dance club. Great tunes but too loud to allow dinner conversation. Service was perfection and I think we had a total of 5 waiters buzzing about like bees refilling the water glasses, asking how the meal was, etc. Just now I realize that it is a similar feeling that I get on cruises in the main dining hall. You’ve got one guy seating you, another guy getting you bread and water, another one taking drink orders, etc. Very attentive but not intrusive. The prices are high, as one would expect from a fine dining establishment, but probably worth it, based on the quality of the food and the visible effort that had to have gone into it. I would consider this restaurant any time I was celebrating something special.

Too loud to enjoy regular conversation. There to celebrate birthday with six of us. Place wasn’t busy at first and was still loud. I honestly thought noise was being pumped in through the speakers. Server was very friendly though had to ask her to repeat what she said due to noise level. Service was a bit slow and food was okay but not exceptional. Steak was rather dry for a filet though the ribeye was perfect. French onion soup and buratta were excellent. Chicken parm, chicken Marsala and manicotti were average. We had a good time but not sure it was a good value.

We had an excellent waiter serving us. Very pleasant experience and fun atmosphere. Food was great and filling. Fries are killer.

As usual, dining at David Burke’s is always an incredible experience. I had the lobster tail and filet special. It was delicious and cooked to order. My husband had the sea bass, which was a light meal, but excellent as well. We also had a dessert martini flight to finish the night. It was a unique dessert, which was wonderful. I liked that they had a special Christmas Eve/ Christmas menu. Although pricey, I would highly recommend dining at David Burke’s.
