    Fisherman's Platter
    Val C.

    I always come to this place when I visit Mohegan Sun, which is three to four times a year and I usually enjoy the experience but this time was different. I ordered a two pound lobster that was so old the meat was not moist and it fell apart when you bit into it. $90 is a lot of money to pay for a lobster whose shell was so touch I couldn't even crack even with the nutcracker they gave me so I was forced to try to get the meat out of the shell with the small fork. It was a hot mess. The sauce was very watery too. I never thought I would ever say this but I'm never going back to Summer Shack again. I just can't chance it.

    Fish sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese
    Candice S.

    Came here before a game at the arena and was seated right away. The staff was nice and service was quick. I got the fish sandwich and nothing was wrong with it. It was just pretty basic no frills. Prices were not too bad. I'd go again, but it's definitely not giving anything special but also not bad. The Syde of mac & cheese was pretty basic and taste like it came out of a box. I would not order that again.

    While visiting the Mohegan Sun Casino on a very busy weekend this restaurant was one of the few who were accepting walk ins. It's a very casual place but you could smell the seafood from the entrance. We were seated immediately. It took a little bit for our waiter to come over but he was apologetic when he did come. We ordered and our food came out pretty quickly. My cod was good but quite greasy. I couldn't finish it because it was just too much. The crab cakes were okay but my friend and I had better.

    Had friends visiting from the west coast so my husband and I met up with them at Mohegan Sun on a Wednesday evening. While having drinks, the bartender recommended Summer Shack since it was our first time here and it's a family friendly restaurant. The restaurant offers a variety of fresh seafood dishes, steaks, and burgers. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. Food and service were good. My husband and I shared the wedge salad. My friends also ordered oysters and octopus. I had the mussels, my husband and friend had the tenderloin steak tips and my other friend had the fish and chips. For dessert, we had the creme brûlée. The food portions were great. We were pretty much the only ones left at the restaurant. It was the perfect place to have dinner with family and friends visiting. I would definitely come back and recommend this place.

    Clam chowder and griddled corn bread with molasses butter

    We got here late and the place had a few patrons at the bar. The dinning room was closed so we sat in the lounge. I'd been here before and had a pretty good experience. This time it was much better. The server was stellar and attentive. Never rushed us and made sure we had everything we needed. The food. Oysters - 5 out of 5 (sweet and local) Steamed peel and eat shrimp - 4.5 out of 5 (perfectly cooked) Clam chowder - 3.5 out of 5 (decent not the best) Griddled corn bread and molasses butter - 5 out 5 Grilled garlic shrimp - 5 out of 5 This experience was by far amazing! We will be back.

    Portion size enough for two

    Summer shack always our first stop when we visit Mohegan Sun. The oysters are always spectacular and the sushi is never a disappointment.

    Lobster bisque? I think?
    Daisy E.

    Never again. Dry shrimp scampi, watery lobster bisque with rubber meat. Same with the clam chowder. I WILL say that the hostess was the absolute sweetest. 1 star for food but the staff was wonderful. The restaurant looked clean as well.

    lobster potstickers

    Good vibes and great service! My group of 4 was SO relieved to be sat for dinner shortly after 6pm with no wait. We had visited a handful of different restaurants and were told the wait would be at least 3 hours. Good drinks. My tito's bloody mary was delicious and very classic but no pickle. The miso soup brought me back to life for only $6. We liked our calamari but there wasn't very much of it. The menu is very expensive for what it is but that's typical at the casino. I got the lobster potstickers but was quite disappointed by them- they tasted like they weren't steamed for long enough and definitely came from a frozen bag. The filling left a lot to be desired, and certainly didn't taste like lobster.

    Lobster Roll
    Melissa T.

    I had an early dinner here with my husband and in-laws. It was pretty busy, but we were seated and had our orders taken quickly. I had the Fish Tacos with Fries, and sipped on a Twisted Mermaid. My drink was good - just the right amount of coconut rum. The tacos were big so I saved one for leftovers. They were satisfying, but I think a better sauce was needed to add some more tanginess and spice. I also prefer smaller corn tortillas instead of flour. My husband had the Lobster Roll and thought it was excellent - he noted it was very buttery. My family and I would definitely dine here again.

    Nice selection oysters
    Robin S.

    Sat at the bar. Always great service Cute almost full wrap around bar. Ordered the best oysters ever. Fresh and meaty. Along with clam fritters which are hard to get anywhere let alone a good one. These were almost perfect. Lights were nice and dim so it gave you a relaxed feel with the overall ambiance of a restaurant not a total bar scene. Definitely will be back

    Shrimp scampi
    Byanca Y.

    First time here the highlight was definitely the fried calamari with peppers (not pictured). It was gone really fast. We went on a Saturday afternoon and the place was not busy. Everything was good and service was great. Everything was good but in our opinion nothing worth overly hyping. Kinda disappointment with the shrimp scampi, came with 6 small and overcooked shrimps. The place was clean, and it was decent for everything we got. Highly recommend the calamari with peppers!

    El Traviezo Mexican Food - Ceviche Tostadas

    El Traviezo Mexican Food

    This was my first time in their new location, which used to be where La Stella was for a long time…read more I was happy to see that meant there were many more customers than I ever saw in their old spot. The space is very bright, some LED string lights and flowers make the ceiling pleasant to look at. Lots of seating across a couple of dining rooms now. The service is off a little bit. Old location was small so they didn't really have anyone that was a waitress, just the bartender was the whole front of the house. The waitress was slow, and treated me like a white dude who had never eaten Mexican before, despite our conversation. I don't know, I don't like being assumed to be ignorant? The ceviche tostadas are what I most associate with El Traviezo, I dream of them, and they do not disappoint. A pile of shrimp, some lime, salsa fresca, crema, on a tostada. Simple, brilliant. The chimichanga also lacked. Some crispy, but then slathered in sour cream to make it soggy. This time I got al pastor, and there were some firm bites of pineapple, but otherwise everything inside was neutral. A lot of cheddar cheese that had no flavor drowned out anything else. In the past I've gotten carnitas inside and will have to return to that to see if the quality of the food has gone down or just that I'm not a fan of their al pastor. Overall, I still love El Traviezo and recommend them, but this was not a five star visit.

    I wanted something basic and easy, so I ordered a cheese quesadilla for lunch. The waitress…read morebrought out chips and a green dip. It wasn't guacamole or salsa. I ended up eating almost all of the chips. Not because they were good, but because it took forever for my lunch to come out. When it finally arrived, the quesadilla was barely grilled. The cheese was bland. There was a very small amount of salsa on top of lettuce. I had to ask for sour cream. That took time as well. This lunch cost $19 which I feel was overpriced considering. I probably won't return.

    No notes on this place! Wow. I had the best NY Strip Steak here last month and I'm still thinking…read moreabout it. It was served perfect; medium rare and I literally ate every single bite. Their Wagyu dumplings were also incredible along with the mushrooms, sautéed spinach and mac and cheese. Their baked Alaska is also a must order. Service was top notch and the ambiance was great.

    Cuisine: 7 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 8 Value: 7 Overall: 7 Haven't been back for a little while, but was very much looking forward to dining here again. Three of us shared three appetizers, two entrees, and two sides. The meal was good, but not as amazing as the last few times we were here. Crab Cake (8/10) - This was the highlight of every meal I had here before and I still enjoyed it. However, the crispy crust was missing today, which made eating the crab cake more like a crab salad. Also, some more acidity would have gone a long way. Nueske's Double Smoked Bacon (7.5/10) - Quality of the meat is clearly there, but I wish it was a bit more tender rather than so firm. The maple glaze does also get a bit sweet. Caesar Salad (6.5/10) - It's not a bad version, but I forgot to add the white anchovy, which was necessary to take it to the next level. Bone-In Ribeye (7.5/10) - When I cut it open, the color was perfectly hot pink from edge to edge. Sadly, it did feel a bit tough for something that looked so well made. Furthermore, I remember the steaks here having a crispier crust, which is crucial for a top notch restaurant quality steak in my mind. Chilean Sea Bass (4/10) - Not that it was horrible, but it's hard to screw up this fish. I can honestly make this dish better at home, which I do quite often. Not explained on the menu, but this fish was likely steamed or sous vide. The skin was not crisped up in any way, and then paired with a boring sauce. This was definitely a disappointment for $56. Roasted Mushrooms (8.5/10) - On the other hand, this may be the best side of mushrooms I have had in any steak house. Served whole and seasoned nicely. Mac & Cheese (7/10) - Pretty solid, but I need firmer pasta and a better cheese pull. The crispy breading on top (ritz crackers?) was done well. Complimentary Bread (8.5/10) - These little suckers were really good. I had three of them with their whipped butter, which I wish was bit more salted. Regardless, one of the best things of the night. All in all, this meal was satisfying as usual. The only differences were minor, but noticeable. Service was a little off today as well, but friendly. I hope they fix these small issues and return to being my favorite restaurant at Mohegan Sun again.

There was a couple seated at the bar, and I could see this as a great spot to socialize or for a date night. I ordered the roasted pork noodle soup, crab Rangoon and Singapore mei fun for my daughter. I wasn't sure what to expect for the soup, as I've been on a a bit of a pho kick lately. While I was waiting I struck up a conversation with the owner, Ken, and we ended up having a great chat; he is very dedicated to the craft. It was clear that he has great culinary knowledge, and pays close attention to the quality of the dishes on his menu. I noticed on a specials board that they offered Vietnamese iced coffee, which I will be back to try! When I got our food home, I noted the elegant to-go presentation; the cloth bag, made our meal feel like a gift, and the carefully packaged soup was separated into components keeping everything perfect and ready to assemble. It was accompanied by a little cup of chili oil so I could adjust the spice level as desired. The soup had a rich and savory chicken based broth. The was a generous portion of noodles, fresh green bok choy and big, tender chunks of lean pork that were lightly glazed with a sweet sauce. When put together with the rest of the soup components, they imparted just a touch of sweetness to the unctuous broth, resulting in a very satisfying bowl of soup! I love spice, and that chili oil had a very good heat level; proceed with caution. The crab Rangoon were still hot and crispy when we unpacked them. The filling was on the savory side, which I prefer; with the tangy sweet dipping sauce providing balance. The Singapore mei fun was nicely seasoned with a fragrant curry, and chunks of tender chicken (as requested, chicken only). There were a bit too many slices of bell pepper for my daughter's liking, but she just picked them out and enjoyed the dish. Overall, this spot is very promising; everything was so fresh and tasty. I anticipate returning to dine-in and sample more of their menu with friends and family. Oh, and let's not forget that Vietnamese iced coffee ... I cannot wait to try it.
