Fine dining took a turn from the French and more towards New American decade ago, but it makes a very welcome return here. Jacques, boeuf Bourguignon, duck a l'orange, trout Grenobloise, veal Oscar, chateaubriand (for two, carved tableside), and steak Diane all make appearances on the menu, alongside grass-fed ribeye and filet mignon from Utah's Painted Hills Farm, two foie gras preparations, caviar, shellfish towers, butter-poached lobster, steamed king crab, rack of lamb, and Berkshire pork chop with Braeburn apples and Calvados. But lobster bisque, steak tartare, foie gras terrine, escargots, coquille St. Straight-ahead 'Continental' French cuisine isn't exactly in vogue these days, and to offer a menu of traditional upscale French dishes is considered downright daring in this era of chefs inventing dishes on the fly. There are several chain hotels, including suites, for good prices just off 95 at the Mystic exit - just north of the highway where Mystic is south.If it's not already clear that this is a very high-end restaurant, one look at the menu should make that clear. Even if MS has finally gotten somewhere, both casinos are weak - stay at FW and shop in Mystic. Or better yet, if at FW, go on the road from 95 to the casino and eat everyday pizza and subs at Mystic Pizza II in Stonington.įor shopping it's easy - none of the above. At MS, eat where you like and it's almost always reasonable. The Deli and Veranda are OK for everyday stuff.

Best place I've like there are both of their asian restaurants. Cedars steakhouse is well talked about, but honestly it's only OK food at a price that puts it at the highest at FW. Stay well away from the buffet as FW - quantity is all they reall have. Generally that has been quite OK for me, the seafood place next door is supposed to be the best, but I can't eat seafood so don't know personally. I believe the Italian at FW is called Al Dente.

Food - Foxwoods used to be OK if you knew what to stay away from, but since the expansion at Mohegan Sun, it's definitely MS.

Accomodations - definitely Foxwoods, where even Two Trees is a good room. I consult at both locations - it depends on what you want.
