The children of an Australian couple were busy whipping coins at the sculpture, trying to break its glass tubes. My lovely wife posed in front of the Chihuly sculpture. My wife and I parked on the fifth level of the Indian Summer garage (all other levels were full), and then made our way to the Casino of the Sky, famous for the Dale Chihuly glass sculpture and the waterfall that forms the backdrop to Todd English’s Tuscany. Since its opening, Mohegan Sun has made a concerted effort to be on the cutting edge of Connecticut’s dining scene. I, of course, am primarily attracted by the restaurants. While the majority of Mohegan Sun visitors come to gamble, significant numbers are drawn to the shopping, the dining, special events like this Rob Thomas concert I attended with my twelve-year-old daughter,Īnd even the overall spectacle. But I have too much to say about Bar Americain to short the piece of description and analysis, and the restaurant and its food are just too photogenic to short the piece of visual imagery.

I’m going to try to split the difference and do what I’ll call a “full blog review.” This may be the only time I attempt this. These pieces are focused on visual images, and are usually accompanied by straightforward exposition and only limited analytic or evaluative content.įor Bar Americain, one of the flagship restaurants of Mohegan Sun Resort & Casino, Our blog pieces, by contrast, are more like a guided tour of a dining experience and employ numerous photographs. Thus, our restaurant reviews, analytical by nature, are focused on language, and usually accompanied by only one photograph. They tend to vie for the attention of different parts of the brain. Used in equal measure, words and photographs rarely work well together.
