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.

    Seriously disappointing in every aspect. From the service to the steaks, everything was underwhelming.

    Hello Matthew, I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your recent visit to Millpond Gatherings. I recall stopping by your table to ask how everything was, and you didn't mention anything being underwhelming. I also spoke with your server today, who is typically one of our best, and she also doesn't recall anything going wrong during your meal. I only wish you had spoken to me before leaving the restaurant that evening, as there is only so much that I can say or do after the fact here online. Regardless, we will strive to achieve perfection with each guest going forward, and I thank you for choosing to visit us that evening. I hope you have a wonderful day!

    Brunch was very good. Large portions, great presentation. Only thing off was where we were seated by hostess. The place wasn’t busy, and they had all tables immediately next to one another so conversations were a bit awkward.

    Five stars is not enough for this place, Great experience with fantastic food and service. Will be going back soon. I recommend the Salmon or the Gorgonzola filet.

    It was fabulous! We sat at a very lovely table near a nice warm fireplace. Our waiter Daniel was wonderful very friendly, efficient and personable. Never felt rushed although it was NewYears Eve and most places seem to rush you out. Had a very small mishap, a drink spilled on our friend, and they were very quick to take care of the situation, quickly, efficiently and was so apologetic. We never said a word about it, but the manger who was also very nice and concerned about the situation, came over to see how everything was and offered us drinks and dessert on the house. Food was delicious! I would highly recommend! We will be back!

    Kevin greeted us at our table upon as being seated with a warm welcome. His service was exceptional. Very attentive and made us feel that he was happy to see us. We were seated in the smaller room facing the fireplace. Perfect for a winter evening a week before Christmas. The food was good not exceptional. The steaks were seasoned well but the vegetables lacked flavor. The caesar salad had no dressing. The presentation lacked imagination. The price was high based on the quality of the food. I would return for a cocktail at the bar and skip the food.

    We celebrated my husband's birthday with dinner, where he enjoyed the ribeye steak, lobster tail, and shrimp scampi while I savored the New York steak. We started with the short rib dumplings. The food was exceptional, and the restaurant offered a beautiful, cozy, and comfortable ambiance with outstanding service.
