Group of 8 for dinner last minute while down on a Thursday night for March Madness. They were super accommodating. The restaurant is one of many in Foxwoods Casino complex. Great service, fine dining experience. I had the 14 ounce ribeyeSteak and it was perfect. The table shared some oysters for appetizer and there we perfect, nice and briny. Atmosphere was cozy. Ask for a quiet table that's not in the middle of the floor. Not unreasonable prices. No strict dress code, mainly because it's in a casino and there are all kinds of visitors here. Waitress was great, very friendly and attentive. I'd definitely visit again. read more

O. My. God. The best of the best or the friggin best crab cake. When they say LUMP, it was all crab!!! I didn't taste a single flake of bread crumbs. So good. I was actually full after it and didn't get the entree I wanted. lol. My boyfriend got oysters to start and then a very yummy rib eye clocked to a rare perfection and perfectly seasoned. The bartenders were very attentive and made me a wonderful margarita and two of the best espresso martinis we have had in a long time. I will definitely be dining there again. Worth the money! read more

My mother and I made reservations for the night of December 11. My mother was very excited to get my sister and I together for our birthday, the lady taking our reservations was very nice. She asked if this was for a special occasion and my mom spoke up proudly. Yes I'm taking my son and daughter out for their birthday. I finally got the both together, the woman said oh that's so nice I'll notate that with our waiter/waitress. The reservation was for four of us also including my wife. We were seated at a round table off to the side, heading into the bar by a busy swing door not ideal but fine. We positioned our 4 seats to use 3/4 of the table as in one of the chairs kept getting hit, but no problem we made it work.. Even though the waitresses TV order station was right to the left of the table, it took almost 10 minutes before we were welcomed with I'll be right over to take your drink order. We finally got our cocktails ordered and after about 10 more minutes, those came we asked if we could get our water glasses filled and some bread and the waitress said that's another woman she'll get to you as soon as she can. After a while longer the waitress came back and asked to take our order. We ordered a couple French onion soups, and she suggested it would be easier if we ordered our dinner now as well. I understand you may have been busy though the restaurant wasn't packed at that point of the night, but her tone showed she had no time for small talk with a couple questions on the menu on the surf and turf or any suggestions on sides she said that's personal preference order both if you're not sure you can always take the rest to go(really ugh). My 85 year old made the polite comment it's my son's and daughter's birthday pointing to us so order anything you want guys smiling, not even a comment from the waitress about even happy birthday she says, so what are we deciding then. I work in customer service. It's not like we were dragging out or wasting her time. she sprung taking our full order on us a little quick. We got the orders in and even my quiet mother made a comment that we seemed to put her out having to deal with our table. Which made me feel really bad because my mom was trying to make us feel so special. Finally after 25 minutes of being seated, we got the bread right before our meal arrived. The food was fine. My mom and sister got the salmon and my wife and I got 9oz fillets and I added lobster tail. Someone from the kitchen delivered our meals and not that we needed anything but the waitress didn't come back the whole time during our meal to ask if everything was OK steaks were cooked correctly etc. Almost felt like we annoyed her or we weren't worth her time because she seemed to spend most of her time at a table of eight. She eventually came back and asked if we wanted to look at the desert menu. My mom made the comment again. Do you have birthday cake on it? She said no, but there's some good choices. Not that we expected anything for free but why ask if it's a special occasion we say it's for two birthdays and then not even offer to give us a slice of cake or something like many other restaurants do including Burkes. We decided to pass. As things just seemed awkward while she was waiting for us to all look at the dessert menu. I really don't care if you appreciate my feedback and thank me for pointing it out to be better in the future because the important night coming three hours away and to meet up with my sister and mom was very underwhelming on the restaurants part can't really have that back's and I feel like that is worse than the food quality being bad. We have no intentions of going back as there are many other choices at Foxwoods I never had a bad experience at Burkes or Hells kitchen, etc.. The restaurant was decorated beautifully. My mom absolutely loved it, but damn the whole vibe and ambience did not match it. It was also fitting. I guess that as we walked out the two girls in the front and the man in the suit completely ignored us as we had to step around them as they were complaining about something being covered the next day. Not even a thanks have a great night as we all step aside around them. All I said out loud was wow they're a mess. read more

Came for the first time for an early dinner during the week, sat at the bar since the dining room wasn't open yet. The speciality cocktails both out on the digital menu and the printed menu were not available so I was a little disappointed. Wound up just going with a basic margarita which wasn't great. The experience did improve from there. The server was very friendly. For my entree I got the filet mignon medium well. The steak was delicious, very tender and very tasty. I would definitely go back for that. It was my birthday so I got a free dessert. I ordered the crème brûlée. Wasn't the best I had but didn't mind since it was free. Highlight was the service and the steak. read more

My wife and I were hungry for lunch at the casino . We looked at the menu and decided to eat here . The servers were knowledgeable and very personable. The prime rib sandwich was very tender and tasty. I had the lobster roll that was loaded with fresh lobster. It must be a good place because Jay Leno was eating here also at the same time!!! read more

Stopped in for dinner before a show. Snagged a spot at the bar. They were busy. It took a long time to get the food and plates from the previous guest cleared away. Ordered wine, chowder, and Caesar salad with shrimp. The couple next to me got a Caesar salad and it looked really sorry- I was regretting my order. The wine was a very heavy pour. The chowder was fantastic- filled with both clams and potatoes. I asked for some bread as I had misgivings about the salad. It arrived with 3 very large grilled shrimp. Unfortunately the chef never had a good Caesar salad before- they would have never served this limp tasteless lettuce if they had. I had a few bites and gave up. So hard to make a bad salad but they did. read more

Mixed experience with clear room for improvement I wanted to like Cedars Steak House -- the location and concept have promise -- but the visit left me underwhelmed. Customer service felt inattentive and disorganized; long gaps between courses and staff that seemed unsure about menu details made the meal feel strained rather than welcoming. Food issues The carpaccio was the low point, probably the worst I've had: tough slices, minimal seasoning, and a lack of the bright, balanced flavors you expect from that dish. Other items were passable but nothing stood out enough to justify the price. Atmosphere and recommendations The interior could use an overhaul. The space feels dated and would benefit from an aesthetic refresh and improved lighting to match the expectations of a steakhouse. The menu needs sharper focus and stronger execution, and the team would benefit from more training or clearer service standards. Verdict There's potential here, especially for groups or a casual night out, but as it stands I'd call this a one-time visit until they address the food, atmosphere, and service issues. I'll be curious to return if they make those changes. Cheers read more

Cedars is always good. Consistent bread. Consistent steak. Consistent sides. Good places that are consistent stick around forever and this place has. The Xmas displays are otherworldly. I go every Xmas as this is a destination on the holidays. read more

Excellent food and awesome service by your staff including Richard, Mark, Alan and Deborah I hope I didn't forget anybody. I have been a customer from day one since the Casino opened in 1992, I still show up for my meals even though the Poker Room was moved to the Fox tower. read more

Superior service. Our waitress was one of the hardest working ever! Constantly filling our drinks and hustling for our food. Enjoyed the ribeye. Good portion size and great Caesar's salad. The sides were excellent. Steak was cooked just right. Desserts were a bit smaller and the only flavor of ice cream was vanilla. Still excellent steakhouse. read more

My friend and I were walking around the tanger outlet and played a few slots but then we needed dinner. Found this spot off the Foxwood's site. We picked out a few items to share. We always share food. The oyster Rockefeller were pretty yummy. The clam chowder was good... I had better. We decided on getting their surf and turf. For the money, I expected a bit more. The lobster tail was ok a bit on the small side. However, it was cooked nicely. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare. However, the steak on its own did NOT taste like it was seasoned properly. I was really surprised. We had to use the sauce. That was disappointing. I got an espresso martini and it was delicious. I wasn't going to have dessert. I wanted a good chocolate cake but they did not have that. So my friend ordered a creme brulee. It was just ok. The custard was a bit too thick and rich. I like a smoother, silkier custard. The staff were great and attentive. Our server was very insightful and welcoming. The place itself was warm. Kind of a dinner date vibe. We had a good time but it was pretty expensive for what we got. Also for the steak to be under seasoned. read more

Not worthy of high end prices. I ordered the Filet, it was flavorless and a bit tough to cut for medium rare. It was topped with the worst Bearnaise sauce Ive ever had. The McCormick packets at the grocery store are better. The atmosphere is also blah, nothing upscale about it. I also received my dinner before my drink arrived. Do not recommend. read more

Had such a delicious meal, great atmosphere and friendly service on Valentines Day. Would definitely recommend for any occasion.

poor food, poor service and poor atmosphere. Half full but seated at worst table, asparagus served with the garbage ends still attached, meat was undercooked and very tough, staff did not check on our experience until ready to leave. read more

Was seated and within a few minutes our waitress cane over, mumbled something and scurried off. It was another 20 minutes before we saw her again. She took our drink order and came back 10 minutes later. We took advantage of that and placed our order and asked for extra butter for our bread. 5 minutes later we received ketchup for our bread. It was then a 35 minute wait for our food which was underwhelming and under cooked. She offered to take my very rate (ordered medium) filet back but I was afraid I may never see it again. She then asked if I would like a refill of my drink... 30 minutes later that never came and we begged for our check as we were seeing a show and had been there for an hour and 40 minutes, no apps just entree. She offered dessert on the house for my mooing filet and we declined, three times. No credit on the bill for the filet issue. Save yourself $200 (for 2 steaks and 2 sides one cocktail). read more

Cedars Steaks & Oysters - My "medium" filet - Steakhouses Near Me - Mashantucket, Connecticut

If you're seeking cozy atmosphere and quality fare that won't require a Brinks truck, Cedar's is a classic venue. Recently, for example, for a special occasion, my wife and I requested a quiet booth; but an unexpected car glitch forced us to call and push it back an hour. But when we arrived, y'know what? Manager Brianna had insisted our spot be saved! A most special touch indeed! Soon after being seated, fresh warm breadbasket appeared - and later followed by a masterfully blended Spiced Pear Martini; I opted for the tart, smooth Ruffino Chianti. After we sipped some - gushing about the plus hospitality, we ordered their signature French Onion Soup: a heaping bowl of hearty soup laced with tender onions and soft croutons beneath a thick dollop of chewy delectable cheese. My only request: a tad less salt, please; but otherwise, really world class. For an entree, we shared the Day Boat Scallops: several large and tender crustaceans flanked by a mound of creamy Risotto; and an Italian Barone Pinot Grigio complemented the meal's richness well. Since a birthday beckoned, Cedar's also surprised with a lush square of Dark Chocolate Cake - and on the House. Kudos, too, to Flamur, an attentive server who also dishes brief tales, robust coffee and politeness in spades! A lovely mix of mood, fellowship, and superior fare made for a calming, memorable evening. read more

Another Birthday trip to Foxwoods and Cedars for dinner! Still my favorite restaurant at Foxwoods! Hostesses were very nice even after the people before us gave them attitude for their waitlist seating. The gentleman who brought water was pleasant & Ken, our waiter was great. We started off with the Empress cocktail (my all time favorite). Hubby had the 3 fingers Cabernet. App East the meatball, pretty big. Bread basket has plain rolls cranberry (the best) rolls and a pretzel roll. I had the roasted chicken hubby had the Colorado lamb chops. We enjoyed both. Chicken was so moist and tender. We had dessert too. Definitely do the chambord and share it so you don't over indulge!!! Clean and romantic! 5 stars all around!! read more

Came here for a birthday dinner, the ambiance was nice but the service was average. The food was only slightly above average, not quite worth the price (except for the mac and cheese, that was great). Whipped potatoes especially were average, they needed salt pretty badly. Overall the experience was good however I feel like there are better options at Foxwoods at similar price points. read more

Cedars Steaks & Oysters - Tomahawk steak, whipped potatoes, and mac and cheese - Steakhouses Near Me - Mashantucket, Connecticut

Cedars has been at Foxwoods for many years and has not lost its touch. We were in the area on a Saturday night and decided to go to the casino for dinner. We were lucky to get a timely reservation. We were seated promptly. The one negative was our waitress did not tell us about the evening specials and we wouldn't have known they existed had we not heard the waiter at the table next to us telling his table about them. We didn't order appetizers, just entrees and side dishes. My husband and I both ordered prime rib. I opted for the roasted brussel sprouts. The sprouts were well cooked and loaded with pieces of meaty bacon. The entrees came with popovers, which aren't a favorite of ours. I broke a piece off to try it, but left the rest of it behind. We were both happy with our meals and the holiday decor was absolutely beautiful. We will be happy to return in the future. read more

My wife and I always look foreword to getting the prime Rib sandwich . We have ordered this 4 times in the last few months and the sandwich is always incredible except for our last visit yesterday. The bread was not that fresh and the prime rib was vey fatty and not tender. I mentioned this at check out and I suppose I should have said more when it was served at the bar. Hope it was only an off day. read more

Bomb steakhouse one of the best steaks cooks perfect and the mussels were a great starter

Had a good experience at their drag brunch a few weeks ago. The original Fab Five were making an appearance at the table next to us so we got to meet them. The drag performances were epic. I just wish that we had more of a front row seat from which to watch them. Food (breakfast buffet) was good, not great. Drinks were also good. They had a DJ -- would definitely recommend this experience. read more

Birthday weekend at Foxwoods casino included dinner for four at Cedars Steaks and Oysters. We started with the short rib risotto which was rich and delicious. We were interested in the $190 steak and lobster for two so we ordered it for the four of us and added a side of green beans. The tomahawk steak was huge and served pre-sliced along with a 2lb lobster and sides. The steak was ordered medium rare. The edges were nicely charred and medium to medium rare cooked depending on the slice. It was plenty for four people and we were too full to finish the sides. Service was friendly and attentive, the interior is warm and cozy. Overall it was a great experience and highly recommended dining here. read more

Cedars Steaks & Oysters - Birthday cream Creme Brulee - Steakhouses Near Me - Mashantucket, Connecticut

Came here to celebrate my husband and his best friend birthday. My husband and I got the meal for two. It came with a tomahawk steak two lobsters and asparagus and creamed mash potatoes. It was so good. We got our steak medium. It still had a little pink. It was seasoned well. They definitely didn't skimp on the seasonings. Which I'm glad. Who wants a bland steak. They also didn't over do the seasoning. Everything was well made. I had no complaints of the meal. Only complain I have was one of the staff who would come and refill our water or take away the empty plates. I don't know if he was having a bad day or what. But, he was very rude. When we would ask of something. He would just give us a look and not say anything. Made his approach to us very uncomfortable. It went on throughout the entire dinner. Our waiter who took our order was very nice I have no complaints about him. But, that won't deter me of going back. read more

Ordered a 24 oz. porterhouse for $98.00. Steak arrived no more than a half inch thick and no more than 16 ounces. Took one bite and no way was it prime beef. I sent it back and ordered the "9 oz" filet. This was passable never weighed 9 oz. when raw. When I asked for steak sauce anything besides A1 was an up charge If you are looking for gourmet steak this is not for you.. read more

Came in around 9pm to crash at the bar. Lobster bisque was good. The mussels were tasty, had a few speck of sand, but the toasted brioche that went with it was super delicious to soak up that garlicky sauce. I felt pretty crappy before sitting down, probably came in with a frowned face. Lol. One of the bartenders was very sweet and gave me decaf tea with honey since I didn't drink booze, that already made my meal and mood 200% better. Thank you! read more

They were closed Monday and Tuesday. We were very disappointed. We had heard it was a nice romantic restaurant to visit.

Hi all... SKIP this breakfast with Santa! I reserved on 11/12 with no menu posted for 11/29. On 11/28 i saw the menu posted and noticed it was $65/pp age 5 and over!!!! I called at 2pm on 11/28 to see if I can cancel and they said no, it was less than 24 hours in advance, i would have to pay $25/pp fee. This is not right seeing how when I booked it nowhere did it have the menu or prices. It wasn't even noted that it was a buffet. Also, while the omelet station and food in the warming dishes was good, the food that the chefs prepared and had sitting on the shelf was old and hard as a rock. We tried the croissants at two different times and both were hard and stale, and the pancakes were hard and stale as well, completely inedible. Not at all what I expect for $30/pp never mind the whopping $65! My bill was less for dinner at Hells Kitchen and that was delicious and service outstanding! Re: service- the hostess didn't even talk- no hello, no explanation of how the buffet worked, no one even offered to take photos of the fam with Santa which for over $200 for 2 adults and a small kid I expected at the minimum. read more

This restaurant gives a very old time vibe. Classic, traditional and overall New England. Not quite my usual speed, but I'll take it. My dad enjoyed his crab cake although it didn't look appetizing. He also demolished his wedge salad. My salmon was interesting. Cooked to perfection but something was a tiny bit off putting about the sauce. Maybe it was horseradish ? Let's just say I wasn't scraping my plate. For the price point NAY. But it's Foxwoods so no surprise. Service was a bit wonky - weird interactions with the hostess and waiter. Kind of like Twilight, you'll see what I mean. read more

All these 1 star reviews must have been people that didn't win at the casino... Cedars looked very inviting and cozy as my wife and I had a fantastic meal here with the best waitress Stefanie, she was attentive and on point. I ordered the Dry Aged Rib Eye with shared sides of Mushroom, Brussel Sprouts and Mac And Cheese, all very flavorful my steak was cooked to my specs of medium rare, my Wife had the Salmon fish and it was fantastic as well, the bar was lively and yes there is an attached restroom you just have to ask where it is. OVERALL this is now my favorite place at Foxwoods. read more

I give 5 stars to The Cedars for the many great meals and times I've had there. Yesterday we sat at the bar, our bartender was Tracy, been there a long time as most of the servers and bartenders have. That tells me the employees are treated fairly by the owners and the customer base is consistent! I'm always on the prowl for a good burger and Cedar's does not disappoint, fresh, perfectly seasoned and always cooked as ordered. The lettuce and tomato fresh and tasty. I love sitting at the bar where I can see the beautiful Connecticut woods,ah the wonder of it all! read more

I've tried all the restaurants at Foxwoods except for this. Honestly, I didn't go in with any expectations. I just wanted a place with TVs so that I can watch the Super Bowl so we chose this place. We were kindly greeted by Michael and he showed us two round tables near the bar. I told him I wanted the tables near the door for a party of 6 by combining some tables together. He happily obliged and came over about 5 minutes later to let us know that our server will be with us shortly as it was a bit busy. I appreciated the communication. The atmosphere was quite nice so we didn't mind the wait. Football was on also. Our server was kind and attentive despite a busy night. The food was amazing! I honestly did not expect it to be this great. We ordered the Seared Sea Scallops, calamari, whole belly clams, Alaskan king crab spaghetti, Alaskan king crab legs, short ribs, PEI steamed mussels, king cut prime rib, and fries. Everything tasted great except the whole belly clams. We ate more batter than clams. My favorites were the calamari and king crab spaghetti. The Alaskan King Crab Legs were good too but it was on the saltier side but my friends loved it. Overall, Cedars was a great dining experience. If you would like to have great food while watching your favorite teams play, look no further. I love how the crowd is not too rowdy. Absolutely adore this place! read more

Best resturant at Foxwoods along with fabulous staff and food I definitely recommend!

I wanted to love Cedars but found it to be underwhelming. Dinner for 2- no apps, drinks, or dessert - is about $200. We ordered two steaks. My partner's was seasoned well but extremely overcooked. Mine was undercooked and under seasoned. Service was okay but our server never stopped to ask if our steaks were prepared correctly. I expect more from a high-end steakhouse. read more

Came in for a work event for the weekend. We were seated immediately, we had a reservation and it wasn't too busy yet. We had a very nice waiter who immediately got our drinks going and continued to come back and get anything we needed. All the staff was great. We ordered apps oysters which my co-workers said were delish, me no thanks! I had orders the lobster bisque. The serving waitress brought the bowl empty with some small bits of lobster pieces in the bottom. There was May be about a quarter cup or so, and it wasn't anything substantial and no large pieces of lobster and then she proceeded to pour the actual bisque over the "meat'. The bisque was tasty I would definitely order that again if I ever had to go back, that was it for appetizers. Then we went on to dinner. I ordered the branzino fish when it was brought out to me. It looked like they broiled it. It was two very thin pieces with the skin on and it was very dry and I could not eat it. I probably ate a half of one piece. My husband ordered the King crab spaghetti, which came out with a plate of spaghetti with a few small pieces of crab in it, kind of a disappointment and a few peas. Next my coworker got a pork dish. I believe it was pork tenderloin with some risotto on the bottom he enjoyed the risotto and said the pork was ehh. My other coworker got a ribeye and he was happy with his choices. I also got asparagus as a side with the fish. I believe it had a béarnaise sauce, by the time I cut off all the hard bottoms it was cold. My honest opinion go to David Burkes. The stars are only for the staff in the Bloody Mary. read more

Everything was delicious! The quality of the food was top notch. Donuts and pastries were so fresh! Service was amazing!

We made a reservation for the day before New Year's Eve this year. No one called or texted us about a change to the reservation, however, when we got there, the restaurant was closed! We were really upset, as we had driven relatively far and thought the beginning of our New Year's celebration was ruined. However, we were able to be squeezed into David Burke Prime. It was delicious and they were so cordial! read more

First time to cedars in awhile and it still is a solid choice at Foxwoods. Service is good. They have one of the best calamari appetizers. New York strip was excellent along with the Mac and cheese Brussels sprouts. Carrots were good but probably would skip next time. The highlight of the meal was definitely the butter cake. Absolutely unbelievable.!!! If your at Foxwoods and looking for a great steak i would definitely recommend cedars. I would choose cedars over David Burkes. read more

We came here for my brother's 21st birthday! Our server was very quick and knew what he was doing. Food was good. We ordered steaks, sides, short rib, the fish, and so much more.

Overall, it was good and we will be back, but it's definitely on the pricey side compared to the quality. read more
