Bar Americain at Mohegan SunBar AmericainFor a special occassion to go along with the gaming at Mohegan Sun we chose to go to Bar Americain. The decor and ambiance was very nice and the staff at the front was attentive and personal.
Though the restaurant was crowded there was enough space to give the feeling of privacy. The waiter was knowledgeable and very helpful with his suggestions and was a pleasure. As far as the food, we shared the tuna tartare which was excellent. We had the Chippino (pardon the spelling) which had a variey of well cooked seafood (mussels, clams, shrimp, a white fish (snapper?) and a lobster tail and claw in a very nice sauce. We also had a rib eye which was boneless and probably one of the very best steaks we have ever eaten.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat foodEnjoyed dinner overall. Steak seasoning was excellent, would skip the oysters as we're tiny and sauce was not great.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMGood BUT........Not as good as his Vegas restaurant.
Tuna tartar was the best anyone at the table has had.
Squash blossoms good, only three most places serve 4 or 5
Lamb good, just expected something better than I make at home.
Pork chop one of the best the diner has had.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMamazingWhen you walked in everyone greeted you. Our waitress was sweet and attentive. The staff made sure you were taken care of throughout the meal. The food was phenomenal. It was a perfect evening.6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMGOOD FOOD, GREAT HAVING AGOOD FOOD, GREAT HAVING A RESERVATION BEFORE A GAME!6/7/2013 12:00:00 AMIt was our first time diningIt was our first time dining here & the food was excellent, service was outstanding, we will eat here again!6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMDelicious and unique food choices!Everything we sampled was very tasty. The service was great as well. Everyone was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. While this is not the place for a quiet romantic dinner, as most of the tables lack privacy and the dining room is quite open and noisy, the food makes it with a visit. Be sure to budget enough to sample all the courses. With appetizers and desserts this restaurant could easily cost $75 -$100 per person, or more, especially if you plan on having a couple of drinks with dinner.6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMFantasticMy wife and I had dinner here before a show at Mohegan and thoroughly enjoyed the meal and ourselves. Our server was top notch; enthusiastic and attentive. We both had seafood dishes which were cooked to perfection.6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat foodGreat food, great service. Swordfish entree was a small (delicious!!) portion, so don't order it if you're starving. Other than that, everything was fantastic. Would definitely go back.5/31/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazingDinner was amazing and the service was unreal. Everyone in our group loved everything.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing dining experienceAs a huge fan of cooking shows of all kinds it was a true joy to be seated at one of the great Bobby Flay's restaurants. My husband and I had a rare opportunity to 'get away from it all' for an overnight trip to Mohegan Sun and wanted to make it especially memorable by having a very special dinner.
We had an incredible meal, a very attentive and friendly wait staff, and an all around perfect dining experience. We're already looking forward to our next trip to Mohegan Sun and another visit to Bar Americain.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat SteaksI had a NY Strip, and it was outstanding. Not only was it cooked extremely well, but it was also flavored slightly with one of the best dry rubs I have ever tasted. Also the Bobby Flay steak sauce was incredible.... I would add that I had the escargot, and it was just O.K., but my friend had the raw oysters and they were life changing. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.5/21/2013 12:00:00 AMBar Amercain was a standoutWent to Bar Amercain for dinner after receiving a special hotel rate from Mohegan. I have eaten here before, and it was good, but this time it was even better than I remember. I had the shrimp cocktail with the tomatillo sauce which was delicious and spicy. I followed it with the Buttermilk Chicken which was simply outstanding. The chicken was cooked perfectly and it just melted in your mouth. Alsoo had a drink - Lemon Drop - and it was made perfectly. Very crowded for a Sunday night also. I will definitely be going back there soon.5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMas always bar Americain Neveras always bar Americain Never disappoints, great service, great food always a great dinning experience.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food, slow serviceThe filet mignon was cooked to perfection. The mussels were full of flavor. When they say hot chips with blue cheese, all that means is that the chips are warm, not spicy. A bit disappointed on that one. It was a bit noisy that night. The waiter had a tough time hearing our order. The service was slow. Not sure if it was due to lack of staff that night or this is the norm. Overall a good experience. The food was very well made.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMMemorable Anniversary Dinner!We reviewed several of the restaurants at Mohegan Sun for our Anniversary dinner. We chose Bar America because of the menu selection and we were intrigued by several of the reviews we read. We were not disapointed! From the time we arrived until our last bite of food and sip of wine we had a great time. The staff was attentive, friendly and very helpful. My wife had the Mahi Mahi and I had the Duck, both were delicious! Our favorite part of the meal was "The Selection" from the raw bar, however the tower of raw seafood selections did interfere with our ability to gaze romantically in to each others eyes or have a conversation. Even with this obsticle we managed to work around it and had a wonderful evening that we will not soon forget.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMVery goodOverall it was very good waiter was very timely enjoyed the food. The ribeye was good the pork chop I think was better. I was disappointed with the beer selection.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMIron ChefFood was presented well with some unique appetizers and tasty but pricey desserts. Service was friendly but not attentive.
I would come back and would bring friends.5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMdinner reviewThought the dinner was a bit rushed my ny strip was well cook my wifes chippino was great but the lobster tail was over cooked. Theory onion soup was great staff was friendly.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMDefinitely dine here!Exceptional service & food quality! Great atmosphere & relaxing feel.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMAs always I was extremelyAs always I was extremely happy with every aspect of my dining experience at bobby flays. By far my favorite restaurant.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food. Chris was ourGreat food. Chris was our waiter and was excellent. we were running a few minutes late and the reservation was honored. Interesting selection of food. Loved the crab coconut cocktail!! Crab was so fresh. We were only sorry that wedidn't have the trio for our appetizer. I am sure that the lobster avocado would have been wonderful.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food and service!We have been to Bobby Flay's in NY a couple of times, and I was not overly impressed with it, but this experience at Mohegan Sun was totally different.
I started with a Boston lettuce salad, which was very, very tasty, followed by fried chicken for my entree. I consider myself a fried chicken afficiando, and this preparation was excellent. The entire experience there, as opposed to the NY locaton, was totally different. The atmosphere is more romantic, and the service was outstanding.
I don't remember what I had for desert, but I remember remarking how good it was---and I'm not a desert person.
Both my husband and I toroughly enjoyed everything we ate, as well as the service.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was great and the serviceFood was great and the service went beyond the norm. They did everything to make the dining experience perfect despite a few
mis- steps with my wife's order.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat foodHad dinner on a Friday night...place was empty. Still the food was outstanding and the service was great. Steak was cooked perfectly and all other dishes were delicious. Fair prices for a higher end restaurant in a casino.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMZesty and BoldNoted for his creative interpretations of southwestern ingredients, Bobby Flay's Bar Americain at Mohegan Sun lives up to his reputation for unique dishes with equally unique flavors. And if your palate is tuned for less energetic seasonings, the restaurant accommodates with lobster that is scrumptious, fine steaks (with or without the rub) and a willingness to hold the spices on certain menu items. A win-win for multiple diners with differing tastes and dietary needs. The service is impeccable as well, and the atmosphere warm and inviting.
For a quick burger or sandwich, try Bobby's Burger Palace also at Mohegan Sun. The grilled cheese is outstanding as are the burgers.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent dinnerThe service and food at Bar Americain is excellent. The staff was attentive without being intrusive and the service was wonderful. I had ordered a birthday cake weeks before, and it arrived at the table, candles lit and all without my having to check on it. All in all an excellent dining experience!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMReally enjoyed my dinner !Really enjoyed my dinner ! Onion Soup was delicious and the NY strip steak was tremendous !4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMEnjoyed by all in our party.Enjoyed by all in our party. Excellent apps & entrees. Seeing a show, slightly pressed for time, so we couldn't take advantage of dessert. Some bargains in the wine list. Go and enjoy.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMJust great food and drinksJust great food and drinks can't wait to go back the best rib eye I ever hsd4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was our first visit toThis was our first visit to Bar Americain. I was a little apprehensive about a 6:30 pm reservation with an 8 pm show because a lot of the reviews I read said the service was slow but we found it to be just the opposite; reservations were running on time and our waitress was more than accommodating. We had cocktails, an appetizer and dinner; skipping coffee and dessert. I would love to go back and linger over the courses because that's how good the food was and it strikes me as that kind of meal. Both of our meals were excellent! I also noticed that a lot of the other reviews stated that it was pricey... I don't think it was any more or less than any other fine dining restaurant and the food was totally worth it!4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was very good, but notFood was very good, but not great. I realize that is subjective, but we expected it to be better. Service was very good, but not great.....polite, but not friendly.
It was a tad loud.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMVery satified with the foodVery satified with the food and the help selecting a fine wine. Our server was very pleasant and went the extra yard to make sure we were enjoying ourselfs.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMFantastic food and great staff!Fantastic food and great staff! Highly recommend! Our waitress suggesed food/drink pairings that were spot on.4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellant food , Supurb serviceThe food was great but Simone our waitress added to the night. It was like she was reading our minds, her answer where johnny on the spot and just fun to talk too, for the quick few seconds that we talked to her each time she came to the table.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding food and waitOutstanding food and wait staff very attentive to every detail. My criticism of restaurants in general is from a health perspective why must vegetables take last place??? We ordered a salad and green needed a magnifying glass to find.
I have watched Bobbly Flay on TV for years thought the dinner profiles would have been a bit sharper with flavor a little bland for what I wasexpecting4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMBeen many times and it isBeen many times and it is always fantastic. Love this place!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent all around, bestExcellent all around, best restaurant at Mohegan Sun4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding experience asOutstanding experience as this is a great place for that special dinner.3/28/2013 12:00:00 AMSpecial dinner w/grown daughtersHad a wonderful dinner with my two daughters on a Monday night and the restaurant was nice and quiet at 8 p.m. We have been here other times when it was "lively", but this time it was pleasantly quiet! We had the tasting of cerviches (fabulous!!!), the oysters (very small serving), and the warm potato chips with blue cheese dipping sauce (delicious)to start and then two servings of the incredible fried chicken and one of the duck entree which my daughter enjoyed immensely. Creamed kale is a must as a side! All in all the evening was very, very enjoyable, even though the server this time was a little less friendly than during our other visits. Would absolutely recommend this restaurant for fabulous food/drinks and a special dinner place3/25/2013 12:00:00 AMservice was friendly and veryservice was friendly and very professional.Food was outstanding. I would highly recomend3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMVery Good FoodI usually don't go to places this pricey, but because it was a combination valentines day/5th anniversary, and the fact I'm a big Bobby Flay fan, I thought I would splurge and take my girlfriend out. It very well could have been a 5 all around but because I don't have much to compare it too, I toned back my ratings. It was a bit noisey (granted, it's in a casino) but it wasn't too bad, I could hear both my girlfriend and the waiter fairly well. I had the Duck, which tasted amazing. Perhaps it was a bit tough, and I was given an entire leg on the bone which made eating it a bit cumbersome, but then again, it was duck, it's a relatively tough meat from what I understand. My girlfriend had the fried chicken, which beat KFC out if the bucket.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMBar American doesn't disappointGreat food. Great service. Somewhat reasonably priced.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMOur favoite restaurant whenOur favoite restaurant when we visit Mohegan Casino.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMThey went out of their wayThey went out of their way to help us celebrate our anniversary3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place for a specialGreat place for a special occasion. Food was great. You must start with the Hot Potato Chips with Blue Cheese sauce. Food and service was great. Will return next time at the casino3/19/2013 12:00:00 AMActually disappointed! ForActually disappointed! For the price of the food would have expected better! I had a Mahi-Mahi dish. The fish was quite over cooked and dry. The Mango topping was almost non-exhistant. It wasn't even busy at the time only a few people in the restaurant. One would think they would normally not over cook something when they only had a few orders to pay attention to, not that it should happen at any time ??
Overall, rather disappointed for a supposed fine dining institution!
On the good side the service was tremendous! Very polite, courteous and attentive.3/17/2013 12:00:00 AMVery enjoyable evening. TheVery enjoyable evening. The shrimp and grits were lukewarm when they arrived at the table -- it was very good eventhough I would have preferred for them to be warmer. The fried chicken was a bit greasier that I expected but still very good.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service is beyond anythingThe service is beyond anything anyone would expect in Connecticut. You have to go to New York City to get the level of professionalism that is delivered time after time at Bar Americain. Many times I find myself just sitting there and smiling at the the fact that I am receiving the level of service and quality of food that I am.3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was excellent.
