About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for scenic views
At Millpond Gatherings, we are an all encompassing hospitality center where you can eat, celebrate, shop, and stay with us here in the quaint town of Northford, Connecticut. The Millpond Steakhouse, run by Executive Chef Pedro Avila, is a farm-to-table modern American steakhouse with a fine dining flare. Our dry-aged grass fed beef is sourced from our own cattle farm just 2 miles up the road, and accompanied with local produce from our surrounding farmers. Downstairs in the Tavern we encompass the spirit of historic New England with a cozy laid back atmosphere and weekly live music on Thursdays and Sundays.

Millpond Events is our venue hall located adjacent to the restaurant. This rustic charming space will harvest many special memories and celebrations.

    i have a pepper (spice) allergy which severely limited my choices. We have a favorite New Haven restaurant where sauces and other menu items will be made as requested at all times. Millpond was not busy as the kitchen claimed . apparently most items are prepared ahead of time and they are not very flexible.

    Hello William, thanks for visiting Millpond Gatherings. I'm happy to hear that you found the staff to be great, and regarding the food and your dietary restrictions, unfortunately some of the items on the menu, particularly sauces, are made prior to the shift to expedite the orders during the shift. While there are some items from which ingredients can be left off once ordered, there are others where it isn't possible to do so in a timely enough manner. I hope this doesn't prevent you from visiting us again in the future, and maybe we can communicate with the kitchen to see what items we can offer you to meet your dietary needs.

    Just an excellent experience! From start to finish. I reserved a quiet table which was great to be able to talk with my wife. Our server Kevin was a true professional. The food was done to perfection. I will say when they first opened there were some typical bumps but everything has been worked out. We will be back again soon. I had the NY strip, Oscar and it was awesome and very tasty for sure. Closed with the cream brulee which was great as well.

    Great dining experience! Food was fabulous, however, our server Kevin truly made our night with his attention to detail and his care for our table. We will definitely return!
