Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Southington

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 !!

We went early, so the noise level was fine. Does get louder as the evening goes on. Food and service was too notch as we’ve come to expect. We were not disappointed and will be back.

We were greeted at the door and seated immediately. The ambiance was natural and magically perfect! The food arrived fairly quickly, fresh and tasty. The staff are all friendly and we didn’t feel pressured to leave. The cafe is situated within a beautiful store setting which works great in my opinion. I purchased nice faux candles in the store section before leaving. I can honestly say we had a wonderful time walking around and looking at all the items and plantings they had available before leaving. Would I recommend this restaurant? Absolutely!!!

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.

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.
