David Burke Prime Steakhouse (Foxwoods Resort Casino)

David Burke Prime Steakhouse at Foxwoods opened back up for dining in the restaurant 2 days before the official Phase 2 Reopening in CT.

Although the menu is limited, they do not fail to still deliver their premium steaks, and favorite entrees.

Every time I go to David Burke's, I ALWAYS...and I mean ALWAYS (no matter what) order a side of Garlicky Baby Spinach (seen in the first image) and their Double Cut Maple Bacon, which is served as three slices of extra thick-cut candied bacon with a black pepper maple glaze. I promise it is DELICIOUS!

I also ordered their 3 course Prime Time Dinner, which allows you to choose from 1 of 5 entrees: Herb-Roasted Chicken, Faroe Island Salmon, Seared Stonington Scallops, a classic cut Prime Rib (12 oz.), or a Petite Filet Mignon (6 oz.). Here, I got a classic cut Prime Rib cooked until it was pink or "medium." I normally eat my steak cooked "well done," but a steak like this tastes better when it's not shriveled up and dry. This entree also came with a very large baked potato on the side, which was filling on its own.

You also get to choose 1 of 3 appetizers: New England Clam Chowder, The Wedge Salad, or a Market Green Salad.

Here, I decided on the Wedge Salad because it paired nicely with the Double Cut Bacon appetizer. The half of the lettuce head was served with tomato, onions, blue cheese dressing, and a tomato vinaigrette. This was also very good.

And for dessert, the choice of either a Creme Brûlée Cheesecake (with amarena cherries and whipped cream), Warm Apple Blueberry Cobbler (with almond crumble topping and vanilla gelato), Classic Tiramisu, or a Chocolate Fudge Cake (with black cherry gelato and whipped cream).

Here, I got the Classic Tiramisu, and since they are smaller in size, they give you two of them. It was light, fluffy, and very tasty, with just the right amount of that famous coffee taste

I would definitely recommend David Burke Prime Steakhouse if you are looking for a more fine-dining experience. Their food is very high quality in taste and presentation. I have been lucky enough to enjoy eating here on many different occasions, from lunch/dinner to graduation celebrations, and every time has been a great experience!

Abbott’s Lobster in the Rough - Noank, CT

Definitely the BEST lobster roll I’ve had all season so far! And just look at the size of those oysters! Right next to Costello’s Clam Shack, Abbott’s has more steamed seafood, so if you’re looking for some fried clams, you won’t find them here, you’d have to drive over to the shipyard next door, and get them there. Abbott’s is a great place to be on a hot summer day, with outdoor seating along the water; watch the ships sail by and dig into a nice big lunch!

S & P Oyster - Mystic, CT

I have visited Mystic quite a few times, but it was my first time eating at S & P Oyster. I heard many great things about the restaurant, so I finally decided to try it out. Their dining room is open again. with effective social distancing and health practices being implemented, but they also have outdoor seating in a portion of their parking lot, as well as surrounded by tons of beautiful plants, the iconic drawbridge, and the view of the water. I ordered the S & P Seafood Pasta , with shrimp, sea scallops, calamari, mussels, fettuccine, white wine garlic sauce, and freshly chopped herbs. which was the ideal size for dinner. I ended up taking the rest home for lunch the next day. For appetizers, I had Prosciutto Wrapped Sea Scallops . It was wood grilled and served with cilantro sauce, piquillo pepper & jicama salsa, and charred corn, kind of like a corn salsa. I also had Spinach & Artichoke Dip , and it was the best I've had in awhile! It was topped with fr...

Red 36 - Mystic, CT

This restaurant in the heart of Mystic is just down the road from the Mystic Drawbridge and is right on the water, overlooking all the boats docked for the season. The atmosphere is welcoming, as you see families and friends sitting out on their boats, eating and napping under the hot sun. The temperature gets a little colder for outdoor seating here, but if you grab a light jacket and some Sperry Top-Siders, you'll fit in quite nicely. Most of their dining is already outside, but they added some patio seating in areas of the parking lot, and some Adirondack chairs for lounging in front of the pier. The bar is not open yet, in accordance with the policies of the state of CT, so they are continuing to offer their Happy Hour menu, anywhere in the restaurant from 4-6, Monday through Friday. They are not yet taking reservations to dine-out, but even with the number of people on the waitlist when I arrived, what they said would be a 40 minute wait, ended up being only 15-20 minutes....
