Our favorite restaurant. Last night we had oysters on the half shell with a fabulous vinaigrette. We shared a Shrimp and Clam handpie that was out of this world. I had the Roasted Monkfish and my husband had the Prime strip. For dessert was the Sugar Pumpkin Creme Brulé. Once again, Chef Taylor waved his magic wand and provided dishes that continue to leave beautiful memories. Our main server Peter, and Renee were great with every attention to detail. Every single meal there has been an adventure leaving us begging for more.

The food was absolutely delicious! It was a fantastic overall experience. The staff, owner, and chef were all incredibly attentive. In true Mediterranean style, they gave us ample time to savor the delectable appetizers, wine, and meal without any rush. It was a really nice evening with 4 out of 4 of us giving 5 stars.

Got right in at time of our reservation and wait staff came right over even thought the place was drill. Has the shirt rub grilled cheese and it was excellent ‘. Highly recommend. My only dislike was the overly loud noise . My friend and I had difficulty having a conversation with all the noise

We had a great meal at Noah’s. Everything was spot on- food, service, vibe. The autumn squash soup was a knockout- I could eat it every day. Loved the swordfish entree. Reasonable bottles of wine and delicious desserts. Highly recommend!

One of, if not the best rib steaks I've ever had, and far better than the other steakhouse in Mohegan Sun. There is nothing negative about the entire dining experience at Todd English Tuscany.

From arrival greeting to last sip of excellent wine offering by the glass our experience was excellent. Over the years David has created a iconic kitchen and culture on the East End.

It was a great experience. The waitress was great it was our 25th Anniversary she took pictures for us also and went out of her way to get the perfect shots. The food was great also you got a lot of good food for the price and the mixed drinks were perfectly mixed and chilled. Will definitely be coming back again and hope to have the same great waitress.
