Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in New London

only complaint is about the two weird couples on either side of us one was def on a second date and the guy just wanted it to leave, felt bad for the poor girl trying to keep conversation going. the girl of the other couple though was not acknowledging her man and was on her phone the WHOLE time. we felt so bad for him and exchanged many glances. nothing to do with ballo itself though, no complaints.

We recently dined at Sol Toro, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The standout dish was definitely the fajitas—probably the best we’ve ever had. Everything was cooked to perfection, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors that made every bite memorable. The service was fantastic, with a friendly and attentive staff that made us feel right at home. We also tried the Valentine’s Day margaritas, which were a special treat. Watching them make the margaritas tableside added a fun, interactive element, and the drinks were as delicious as they were beautiful. Overall, everything was excellent, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend Sol Toro for a great meal and an even better experience!

I ordered the stuffed mushrooms. They were the smallest five stuffed mushrooms I’ve ever seen in my life definitely not worth the money.

Amazing experience. Our server was amazing, the food was cooked perfectly and delicious. Had the meatball soup to start, was perfect starter then the Dever Steak and NY strip. Both were seasoned and sauced perfectly.

We had a great time at Dave & Burke’s, it is pricey but it is fine dining and you’re also paying for service and ambience which was excellent. Our server was super sweet, my son loved her lol it was his birthday and he felt like royalty so we appreciate her, I wish I got her name but we went on Feb. 13, and she was blonde in a ponytail and glasses and my son was celebrating his bday with some yummy king crab legs and French fries lol overall this was an amazing experience. We haven’t been here in so long and will definitely be back sooner than later!
