The Grill at Two Trees

One of the best weekend meals I’ve experienced in quite some time! Dinner, delicious, breakfast omelette tasty. Low reviews for this restaurant fair at all.

A restaurant with food. Nothing exceptional. Clean. Basically a mildly dressed up American diner.

We returned here recently for lunch after the Veteran’s Day Pow-​Wow at the museum. We were a party of four, ordering different things. My burger was very good and cooked as ordered. The others enjoyed their food also, although 1 pasta dish appeared to be reheated and was not real hot. Service was good, the prices are fair, ambiance is good, hostess a bit grumpy. Our only complaint was the place was freezing inside from the AC. Everybody had coats on and were still cold. We had to ask them to please make it warmer. Recommended, give them a try!

We have stayed at foxwoods casino hotels many times. This is our first time at Two Trees Inn. We love it. The Grille is so much better than any restaurant than at the actual casino. Kathy the bartender is awesome. We are having so much fun with her … Why bother with the casino!!! I have to add that they are pet friendly. Maybe Tank can come next time.

We had never been to Foxwoods before and were looking for casual dining with a reservation since we were also going to a show. We were a little last minute and this place was the only one we found with the reservation time we wanted. So disappointed, wish we had just taken a chance and gone straight to the casino. No atmosphere, it basically looks like a bland hotel lobby and the tables have patio chairs at them. Bread out of a package, no printed out wine list and only 3 beers on tap. Food was bland and options were minimal. Waitress was very nice but service was slow and she didn’t seem to have much of an awareness of our needs. At one point, she offered the table next to us another round of drinks, when we had empty glasses for about 10 minutes. The neighboring table still had ½ of their glasses. (I thought it was illegal in CT to have a second drink when your first wasn’t finished?) After offering the neighboring table, she walked past our table, looked at our empty glasses, and went to keep walking until I stopped her and asked for another round. The point of us making this reservation was to leave us plenty of time to wander the casino before the show. Needless to say, after all of this, we barely made it to our show in time and didn’t get to enjoy the casino at all. We have a toddler at home and don’t get out much and I was (and am) so disappointed that we «wasted» our date night on this restaurant.

Expensive, but what isn’t nowadays.
Chicken breast was very thin!
Boring menu.
If you love basic food you might like it.

I came 2 weeks ago. This place really was a waste of money, overcooked food as well as a hostess that SPENT EVERY WAKING MINUTE ON HER CELLPHONE. My goodness, at least ATTEMPT to make it look like you care. Also, drinking shots on the job isn’t very professional. Save your money and make the trip to Atlantic City

This is only the second time I have given a 1 star review. Both my and my boyfriends meal were awful. I got the Yankee pot roast which tasted like the pre made vacuum sealed kind you would get in a grocery store the potatoes were barely edible and his burger was poor quality. The staff was very sweet but I would stay away at all costs. We are staying in the hotel and won’t even go there for breakfast in the a.m. It’s to bad because they really could have made something out of that place.

We decided this was the easiest option for breakfast, being in our hotel… but I have to say most of the food was mediocre at best, and heat wise could have been hotter/​fresher considering we were there on the earlier side of the morning, we should not have been feeling like we were getting the leftovers… but maybe I’m wrong and the casino crowds had been there earlier? Anyway, we opted out of the super convenient breakfast the next morning and made our way to Festival Buffet instead.

Low score reviews are not credible.
Think they might have originally had a higher end menu. Still has leather chairs and linen napkins and table clothes.
Tuscan ckicken sandwich with roasted red peppers was good. Blue Point toasted lager draft was as well. Sandwich was only 9 bucks, better deal than most up the hill.

My best friend and I came to the Two Trees Grill after a night of hard partying and no sleep. (We were staying at the Two Trees Inn) Upon walking in to be seated we were greeted, and then ignored for a while until we were seated in a section with an extremely rude old biddy of a waitress who left us waiting at the table even though she was standing right there next to us. At this point, my friend and I had discussed leaving the restaurant but decided to stay when the waitress returned. She asked us if we wanted coffee and we both declined she said «No Coffee? Okay!» and stormed away from the table rudely, visibly annoyed with us. My friend and I had a bad feeling about this restaurant from the get go, mainly due to the fact that it screamed «Touristy-​shitty-​hotel-​breakfast restaurant» and smelled like stinky eggs and coffee. Not to sound like a snob, but the white paper tablecloths should have been the first red flag that this place sucked. The second the waitress walked away from our table my friend and I got up from our table and walked away from this shlock house. I learned 2 things from this awful restaurant: 1. Trust your instincts. If you think a restaurant is going to be bad, there’s reason to believe it will. 2. When you have a chance to escape a bad restaurant situation where chances are you will be treated like crap and ripped off, take it. Empower yourself. You work hard for your money. You don’t deserve to be spoken down to by the crappy wait staff of a dump that can’t get coffee, toast and eggs right.

Honestly, I would never recommend this place to anyone. My family made the mistake of eating Thanksgiving dinner there and it was one of the worst restaurant meals we’ve ever had. The portions were tiny, the meat was more than 30% fat (Prime Rib), the fish was over-​cooked, the wine was stale, and there was a hair in the soup. We complained (respectfully), and they took some money off the tab but not nearly enough. Thankfully, our family likes one another because otherwise the entire holiday would have been ruined by this sad sad meal.

There were 8 of us for Thanksgiving dinner, mostly adults, at 34.95 a person. It was a limited menu-​had your choice of turkey, tilapia, duck or prime rib, plus soup, salad and dessert. Sounded like a great deal. Unfortunately, it was not. The first problem was that nothing that came out was hot. Not the soup, not the entrée, and not the «warm blueberry apple pie» (which was cold). The second problem was the wine. I ordered Château St Michelle, and it tasted like it had been sitting around for daysopened. Third, the entrees themselves. The fish was chewy and overcooked, the prime rib was beyond fatty and chewy, and the duck was dry (no one got the turkey). The baked potato that came with the prime rib was overcooked and old tasting. Fourth, I found out later that one of the people at our table got a hair in his soup. Even the coffee was bitter, and the chicken fingers that my son had were dry and tasteless. We were very, very disappointed at the quality of this restaurant, and am asking all out there not to go. The only consellation was the waitress (very nice woman) and the fact that they took a bit off the bill. When someone in your party says they’re going to grab a burger after the meal, you know there’s a problem!

The food here is decent. Nothing special.
One thing that was very off-​putting: My younger cousin wanted his steak medium and they wouldn’t allow it. They won’t let kids under 12 eat steak any way other than well done. Even though his parents consented and offered to order the steak for him. Management wouldn’t even let the steak touch the kid’s mouth. Apparently, it’s against the law? Even if it is the law, I’ve yet to see a single restaurant impose this rule… ever. Total BS, in my opinion.

At first you think by looking at this place” ah just another restaurant in a hotel” but then after careful deliberation and ordering WHAT A SURPRISE. The moment the first morsel hits your taste buds and POW. Every bite got better and better. Never have the words «YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS» past through my lips so many times in a simple dining experience. You end up revisiting the menu just to wonder what every thing else taste like.

This review applies to lunch and dinner. My breakfast rating is one star, as the buffet offerings are limited to protein, carbohydrates and fats with no fresh fruit or vegetable offerings.
Compared to the other casual dining venues at the resort, the offerings are well-​prepared and more agreeably priced. The soups are well-​prepared and the salad ingredients are fresh. The dining room and bar area can get busy and crowded. Service quality depends on the shift.
Nondescript but inoffensive, this is one of the better casual dining choices at the Foxwoods resort.

The Grill at Two Trees is a nice, somewhat expensive restaurant. Nice, somewhat expensive restaurants, in my book, aren’t casual hangout places, but this one kind of is. Well, at least when I went it was. There weren’t a lot of patrons when my friends and I had dinner there, but there was a man eating his meal, feet up on the chair across from him, on his laptop. And there was a group of rowdy 20 something year olds making a ruckus at the bar. They sounded like they were middle-​schoolers, raising their voices excitedly in a quiet room, with one girl trying to remind her friends of their manners by incessantly «shh-​hing.» Brought me back to mandatory study with the freshmen.
But I’m going to give The Grill the benefit of the doubt since they are connected to the Two Trees Inn, meaning they’re bound to get hungry tourists, who may not feel like exhibiting any kind of etiquette. Plus the food is really excellent. They’re the first place I’ve ever considered ordering a salad as an appetizer — bosc pears, macintosh apples, dried cranberries, maple glazed butternut squash, walnuts, and gorgonzola cheese crumbles on a bed of greens. Delicious! Some people don’t like fruit on their salads. I’m not one of those people. The cappelini with baby shrimp in vodka cream sauce was also really, really good. Almost as good as the salad.
Nice décor with green walls and framed paintings of late 19^th, early 20^th century actors. What’s the significance? I’m not sure, but there’s a fireplace and we got to sit right by it. Yay for warmth!
