Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Guilford

Wonderful food, attentive service, but very noisy. Cries out for a carpet or any sound abatement that might allow conversation at a table for 2 to4. Miss the old original Gurney’s corny Italian rococo decor that was a relief from the now ubiquitous “ zen”running to “ Amish “ look of un inviting plain colorless Uber simple gray fixtures. Looks as if it was decorated by Monks who have taken a vow of poverty. Art work is all black, gray and during late fall no view of gorgeous ocean after early sunset. No music either but the noise would drown it out anyway. Very pricey for teensy portions.

This is the second year I’ve came to Prime to celebrate Thanksgiving (with standard menu) . Outstanding food + service , ambience is always so warm and welcoming love the decor and vibe of the restaurant . Professional staff and the food is worth making the 45 minute drive from south shore to dine ! Will be coming back next year ! Cheers to the Executive Chef + Kitchen Staff the food is always impeccable

The food and the service at J.Gilbert are always excellent. It is a reliable choice for a very pleasant evening out. My only criticism is that the decor is a bit dated; it could do with some freshening up.

This was our first time at this Steakhouse and it did not disappoint my filet was a perfect Medium with a black garlic butter no steak sauce required, the sides we had were a Japanese Street corn and Cream Spinach both were a cut above other sides I had at other Steakhouses like Eddie V’s, and the Key lime pie was a great finish to a flawlessly prepared meal. We will definitely be back when we come to Mohegan Sun. And our server Jene made our experience even better with great recommendations on drinks and sides

This was our second time having Thanksgiving dinner at The Wharf. And just like last year, it didn't disappointed. Although it took about 20 minutes before we were seated, the wait was worth it. For starters I was really looking for a nice warm fall-type drink, and not seeing one on the menu, the waitress suggested a warm cider with rum concuction. With an added cinnamon stick, it just hit the spot! From the freshest seafood appetizers, salads and appetizers, all of which I sampled, met high standards. The butternut squash soup: delicious! I skipped the turkey this year and went for the prime rib (or is it roast beef), which was succulant, very flavorfull and cooked to perfection. Loved the stuffing and mashed potatoes. The dessert table is another whole treat. Set up in a seperate room, with all the selections about bite-sized, I choose a tiny lemon eclaire (yum!), a little chocolate mousse in it's own chocolate shell, and a pink macaroon. All just the right amount so that one can sample without feeling overstuffed. The staff was courtuous, efficient and always helpful. Thank you all for making it once again into a memorable holiday!
