Best Date Night Restaurants in East Lyme

I was super excited to try this new restaurant at Mohegan Sun. It is immersed with innovative and chic design. We enjoyed the early 2000's music softly playing in the background which made the high end dining experience more fun and relaxed. We also got to see the mini Biggie Smalls statue in the lobby which is an icon of the Beauty and Essex restaurant group. I ordered the Rolls Royce smoked margaritas for two in a decanter for our first cocktail and loved the visual appeal of seeing them served with a touch of smoke. The little French dips were our favorite shared starter, I mean who doesn't love au jus? Really delicious. Then we had Beef Wellington entrees with a side of miso eggplant which was a great substitute for potatoes. We made sure to try the Fluffer Nutter dessert and it tasted amazing, even better than described. It was a pleasure dining at Beauty and Essex - Mohegan Sun. Thanks for bringing it to Connecticut.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed an early VD dinner trying the halibut and beef Wellington. Both were excellent. He would have preferred the fish to be cooked a little longer, but that’s the only critique. We shared the hazelnut ice cream sundae named after the Ferraro Rocher candy. It came in a bowl that looked like a small bathtub! Too much deliciousness, but we succeeded in conquering the challenge!

We had a great time at Dave & Burke’s, it is pricey but it is fine dining and you’re also paying for service and ambience which was excellent. Our server was super sweet, my son loved her lol it was his birthday and he felt like royalty so we appreciate her, I wish I got her name but we went on Feb. 13, and she was blonde in a ponytail and glasses and my son was celebrating his bday with some yummy king crab legs and French fries lol overall this was an amazing experience. We haven’t been here in so long and will definitely be back sooner than later!

the hands down best Happy Hour! Food was well prepared, potions were too generous! Amazing prices. Service was great. Cannot recommend this place enough,

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
