MONTVILLE, CT — Three restaurants are coming to Mohegan Sun this year. The Shed, The Crafty Slice, and Beauty & Essex are all planning to open, Mohegan Sun Public Relations Director Cody Chapman confirmed.
The Crafty Slice is an eatery “specializing in delicious pizza by the slice,” Chapman said. The restaurant is opening soon in the summer entrance at Casino of the Earth. The pizzeria is listed as a “late-night hotspot” with hours until midnight on weekdays and 3 a.m. on the weekends.
The Shed will open this summer right next to BALLO Italian Restaurant. This new restaurant will be in partnership with restauranter, John Tunney, as BALLO is as well, Chapman said.
The restaurant will be in an 8,100-square-foot space across from Frank Pepe’s in the Casino of the Earth. The Shed will feature a scratch kitchen and be open seven days a week for brunch, lunch, and dinner.
The Shed operates several New York locations and will feature dishes like Skillet Mac & Cheese topped with corn, jalapeños, bacon, and green onion, and Glazed Salmon paired with Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and shallots, topped with a sweet mustard glaze.
Over the holiday season, a TAO Group high-end restaurant, Beauty & Essex, is slated to open, Chapman said.
This restaurant features an “innovative design that starts in the restaurant’s entrance, a well-curated modern day pawn shop replete with a saxophone, boombox, quirky artifacts, vintage treasures and an eclectic array of ‘one -off’ pieces of jewelry,” according to the website for its New York location. Beauty & Essex also has a restaurant in Las Vegas.
