About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
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.

    We were there for our anniversary dinner. We have been here before and it is great every time! Kevin has been our server the past two times and is great at checking in often enough while still allowing us time to enjoy our meal. He is also very knowledgable about the menu.

    We arrived in the middle of farmland in Northford and was pleasantly surprised at the beauty of the countryside and venue. Spectacular is the best way for me to describe Millpond Gathering restaurant and grounds. The food and service was excellent and we will be back with all our friends and family.

    Another great meal at the Steakhouse! The Everything Crusted Tuna was AMAZING! I hope it stays on the menu yearlong. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Music was at a nice low level so we could still talk to each other. The location is easy to get to, yet secluded making it a nice night out.

    The atmosphere is nice. The hostess is friendly. The service is good. And the food is delicious. It is a little on the pricey side but it is worth it. We will definitely be returning. I would highly recommend this restaraunt.

    i have a pepper (spice) allergy which severely limited my choices. We have a favorite New Haven restaurant where sauces and other menu items will be made as requested at all times. Millpond was not busy as the kitchen claimed . apparently most items are prepared ahead of time and they are not very flexible.

    Hello William, thanks for visiting Millpond Gatherings. I'm happy to hear that you found the staff to be great, and regarding the food and your dietary restrictions, unfortunately some of the items on the menu, particularly sauces, are made prior to the shift to expedite the orders during the shift. While there are some items from which ingredients can be left off once ordered, there are others where it isn't possible to do so in a timely enough manner. I hope this doesn't prevent you from visiting us again in the future, and maybe we can communicate with the kitchen to see what items we can offer you to meet your dietary needs.

    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.
