About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
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.

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.

For not many customers, the wait for food to come out was ridiculously long. In addition the food was not the greatest for the value. I had to send back mine because it wasn’t correct and that took another long time to come out. The waffles were disappointing and for 3 slices of bacon was $6. I would not recommend and will not return for their brunch.

I visited the Steakhouse (there were two of us) and was pleased to find a vegan entree (Cauliflower Steak). It was clean eating which is my diet of choice. The portion was enough to have left overs. My date enjoyed the Pumpkin Ravioli. He tried the truffle fries and thought they were amazing. There were only two desserts - neither being vegan. Which, I didn’t need anyway. Our server was very friendly and attentive. That goes a long way with me. The upscale log cabin vibe is nice, but there was something missing…. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Overall, very nice place and we will return during warmer months.
