To start our dinner off, we shared a few appetizers (I think we also had the Red Pepper Crab Cake, but it must have been devoured before I could snap a picture).THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Bar Americain Restaurant Review: In fact, some of these dishes were downright decadent. So, let me preface the following by saying that these are not necessarily the healthiest options. After all, going out is a special occasion, and this particular evening was a a time of celebration with some really good friends. I rarely eat out, so when I do, it is a real treat, and while I try to choose some of the healthier options on the menu, ultimately, I usually make my menu selections based on what pops out at me (usually something I would not typically make at home) while trying not to go overboard. I love it when everyone orders something different and we all get a taste – it’s so much more fun and it gives me a better idea of all the menu offerings.Īs a foodie, I love good food and I love eating out. The best part of eating with a group of good friends is that they don’t mind sharing. This time around since it was a special occasion, we decided to treat ourselves to a nice dinner at Bobby Flay’s Bar Americain. Meatloaf was playing (now I’m really showing my age) and the six of us wanted to see him again – we had seen him in concert at Mohegan Sun nearly ten years ago.įor those of you who’ve never heard of Mohegan Sun, it’s an all-in-one destination in Connecticut that combines entertainment, gourmet dining, premier shopping, a casino, and luxury hotel all under one roof.Īlthough we’ve been to Mohegan Sun a few times over the years, we’ve never actually eaten at any of the nicer restaurants, which is a true shame as there are a lot of good places to eat there, including Bobby Flay’s Bar Americain, Todd English’s Tuscany, BALLO Italian Restaurant and Social Club and Michael Jordan’s Steak House. The weekend right before Hurricane Sandy hit, my husband and I took a trip up to Mohegan Sun with two other couples to celebrate a few big birthdays (ahem, me included), and a big anniversary (my hubby and I just celebrated our 25th anniversary!).
