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.

    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.

    Muy rico todo. Para los hispanos que quieran ir, es muy bueno. Un poco alto el valor del platillo pero vale la pena pagar. Muy buen servicio. Yo he ido con mi esposa a varios lados caros pero hemos vuelto a este restaurante porque nos ha gustado

    I had made a reservation and added a note with it as a significant occasion my girlfriend and I were celebrating. The staff was extremely pleasant and acknowledged the importance of the date, and Kevin was absolutely phenomenal. Food was good, 4/5, but everything else was 5/5. Well definitely be back

    Kevin our waiter was exceptionally attentive and Cory the manager I believe showed me and my wife one of the best hospitality a restaurant has to offer in the area, highly recommended. Hats off to the Kitchen as well. Steak here is top tier

    Ashley was amazing downstairs and Susan was amazing upstairs. The hostess was wonderful for being able to add people to our reservation and change the time as well. The food was perfect. Thank you so much for a great night.

    Seriously disappointing in every aspect. From the service to the steaks, everything was underwhelming.
    Steakhouse at Millpond GatheringResponded on January 15, 2025
    Hello Matthew, I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your recent visit to Millpond Gatherings. I recall stopping by your table to ask how everything was, and you didn't mention anything being underwhelming. I also spoke with your server today, who is typically one of our best, and she also doesn't recall anything going wrong during your meal. I only wish you had spoken to me before leaving the restaurant that evening, as there is only so much that I can say or do after the fact here online. Regardless, we will strive to achieve perfection with each guest going forward, and I thank you for choosing to visit us that evening. I hope you have a wonderful day!

    Brunch was very good. Large portions, great presentation. Only thing off was where we were seated by hostess. The place wasn’t busy, and they had all tables immediately next to one another so conversations were a bit awkward.
