Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in New London

Michael Jordan's never disappoints. It was my husbands birthday & he loves MJ, so we drove an hour or so for dinner. He had the grilled octopus for an app & the NY strip. I had the wedge salad (the best !) & filet lollipops. The lollipops were an app but there was alot of meat. Everything was excellent. Our server was attentive & helpful with questions we had. My husband had the baked alaska for dessert. Another reason we keep coming back. I don't know another restaurant that has it. Overall, great food cooked perfectly & great service. Thank you !!

Although in a Casino, Ballo's is definitely a refined, lovely respite from the gambling areas. Never rushed, no hustle bustle - even in busiest (Holiday) times. We are seniors and use points and perks and save them just for the purpose of using them at Ballo for all of our special occasions - birthdays, holidays and our anniversary!! The servers are always well versed, friendly, social and attentive to one's needs/wants. My husband must use a walker and everyone has always been so accommodating and helpful. And, most important, of course, is the food - which is always wonderful. Never, ever have we been disappointed. Thank you.

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.

Christmas Eve Brunch. Huge selection of breakfast & luncheon dishes. Omelets, Waffles & Pastas made to order. Beautiful, creative sweets. Service was attentive. Our favorites were the Eggs Benedict, Breakfast Sausage, & Pancakes. Will definitely consider returning for the Weekend Brunch.

We had hot and sour soup ! My favorite spicy tuna tartare on crispy rice !! So delicious and very very fresh ! My husband had the soy sushi roll which is his favorite ! We ordered the temple salad without water chestnuts ! It was served with the water chestnuts ! We sent it back and it came back again with water chestnuts ! Our server felt very bad about that ! We are pretty easy going so we didn’t mind at all ! For dessert we shared molten chocolate cake which was the best I ever had along with the ice cream and sorbet ! We had a wonderful meal and also enjoyed the selection of music !!
