At Millpond Gatherings, we are an all-encompassing hospitality center where you can eat, celebrate, shop, and stay with us here in the quaint town of Northford, Connecticut. The Millpond Steakhouse, run by Executive Chef Pedro Avila, is a farm-to-table modern American steakhouse with a fine dining flare. Our dry-aged grass-fed beef is sourced from our own cattle farm just 2 miles up the road and accompanied with local produce from our surrounding farmers. Downstairs in the Tavern we encompass the spirit of historic New England with a cozy laid back atmosphere.

Millpond Events is our venue hall located adjacent to the restaurant. This rustic charming space will harvest many special memories and celebrations.

    It was our first time at the tavern and we had such a lovely time although the music was a little too loud for my taste. The surroundings were beautiful with the Farm River running through the property with the ducks swimming around or relaxing on the shore. The food was excellent! I had the squash bisque and a Cesar salad. While my husband and our best friend both had the loaded steak sandwich which came with fries. Our server Ashley was excellent and of course when she brought over the dessert menu we couldn’t refuse so we tried the chocolate lava cake and the carrot cake which was the absolute most delicious I’ve ever eaten in my life! All in all we all decided that we’d be back very soon so we can sit outside in the warmer coming months.

    We ate in the Tavern. Server was attentive & friendly. The nachos with the queso sauce was heavy & not good. Two people had linguine & clams, unfortunately both dishes were over cooked resulting in rubbery clams. The flank steak & the chicken parm were plentiful & delicious.

    We’ve enjoyed The Gathering many times and last night was, as usual, a wonderful experience. The service, bar, food and ambiance was perfect for a night out after a hectic week.

    A fantastic birthday celebration for our daughter. The food was delicious, I highly recommend the Brick chicken and the London broil. Our waiter was attentive and very professional. It was a great choice to dine in the Tavern.
