    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!

    It was exceptional. The surrounding waterfalls made it comforting, our server was attentive and turned out to be a sports fan and had a great brief intrusive convo with my husband who is another sports fan and he was super impressed with her sports knowledge and experience so she added something special to our experience. However, the skin crusty salmon and grits was the best we've EVER had. We raved about it all evening. Was perfect. My husband and I also loved the warm bread and the 2 dips were tasty. We had fun trying to figure out the flavor of one of them. It had a familiar flavor to me and our server indulged us and told us it was like a puree lima bean. Was amazing and unheard of. Bravo to the chef! Was an ingenious idea. The other dip I immediately knew was olives but it was semi puree and bursting with flavor on the warm bread. Just amazing. My husband had the Broccolini with bacon and I had the garlicky spinach side dishes. Tuscany Restaurant has plenty of Ambiance and sitting in the open area near the waterfall looking out on the concourse at the people passing by and seeing the shops inside of Mohegan Sun was The Best Thanksgiving lunch I've ever had. Our First thanksgiving away from the big family tradition 😊. The experience was 👍😃 great!
