Restaurants near Haddam Island State Park

We’ve always had amazing meals at Rustica…. It never lets us down. Highly recommend.

The restaurant is very nice inside with a rustic comfortable dining room and bar area. We were there for the special Valentine’s Day menu. The food was very good and well presented. Service was excellent. Would definitely return for regular lunch/dinner meal and would recommend to others.

An absolute exquisite dining experience with incredible service, fine wines, and a wonderful cozy atmosphere. This is absolutely my favorite restaurant! Is the only place that I go where I never put anything on the steak. No salt or pepper or anything. The way it is seasoned and the way it comes is perfect every time. I’ve been going to J. Gilbert for 25 years and it’s amazing that I’ve never had to send anything back to the kitchen. They are so careful in their preparation and so precise. Such high-quality food. It’s also the restaurant I go to for every one of my birthdays!

Our first time having dinner at Tao at Mohegan Sun. It was nothing short of amazing from start to finish! Tao is truly an experience. From the ambiance, to the staff, and of course the food itself. I rarely review a restaurant at 5 stars, but Tao has certainly earned that rating. FKP

We enjoyed our visit. The restaurant was easy to get to, and there was plenty of parking in a lot next to the restaurant even in downtown Middletown. The weight staff was attentive, and gave great recommendations for food. Our meals were prepared, very tastefully. Even though the seating area is smaller than some restaurants, it was not noisy and didn’t feel crowded We will go again
