Restaurants near Stoddard Hill State Park

From the lighting and decor to comfortable seating and incredible food and service 10 out of 10. The table bread alone was incredible! We had the two drinks recommended by the server; Jordan’s crush and roasted pineapple margarita which led us to getting a second round, they were so good! The garlic bread with blue cheese fondue and ceasar salad split for two was the perfect amount for us as starters. My husband got the wagyu 10oz sirloin and I got the 7oz filet, we paired it with the mac and cheese and the asparagus. We absolutely loved everything. We will be back and we are so excited to dine here again! The server was so pleasant, engaging and enthusiastic about the menu.

only complaint is about the two weird couples on either side of us one was def on a second date and the guy just wanted it to leave, felt bad for the poor girl trying to keep conversation going. the girl of the other couple though was not acknowledging her man and was on her phone the WHOLE time. we felt so bad for him and exchanged many glances. nothing to do with ballo itself though, no complaints.

We recently dined at Sol Toro, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The standout dish was definitely the fajitas—probably the best we’ve ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors that made every bite memorable. The service was fantastic, with a friendly and attentive staff that made us feel right at home. We also tried the Valentine’s Day margaritas, which were a special treat. Watching them make the margaritas tableside added a fun, interactive element, and the drinks were as delicious as they were beautiful. Overall, everything was excellent, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend Sol Toro for a great meal and an even better experience!

I ordered the stuffed mushrooms. They were the smallest five stuffed mushrooms I’ve ever seen in my life definitely not worth the money.

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
