Mohegan Sun to debut new restaurant next spring

Mohegan Sun announced that it is adding The Shed, a restaurant concept by restaurateur John J. Tunney III, to its dining options in the spring of 2024.

The Shed offers American comfort food – including items that are gluten-free, vegetarian, or can modified to be vegan – and features a scratch kitchen with a list of specialty brunch, lunch and dinner options. This will be the first Connecticut location for The Shed, which began in 2017 and encompasses four eateries on Long Island.

The new dining offering will be located in an 8,100-square-foot space in the Casino of the Earth, adjacent to Tunney’s Ballo Italian Restaurant and across from Frank Pepe’s Pizzeria Napoletana.

“We are very excited to welcome The Shed to our excellent lineup of dining offerings at Mohegan Sun,” said Jeff Hamilton, president and general manager of Mohegan Sun. “Our friends at Ballo Italian Restaurant are known for delivering fresh, authentic, Italian cuisine, plus amazing service and an incredible atmosphere, so we look forward to expanding on this partnership and experiencing their delicious take on American comfort food.”
