Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Darien

I would say 3.5 star. Between good and very good. It was good, food was good and service was certainly good. Its a cute restaurant, the name suits it. Chairs are simple wood and rather uncomfortable. Ambiance is nice but wouldn't see this as an upscale dining experience. Its rustic, hence the name. The menu is small and interesting, portions pretty small and not a spectacular presentation. As mentioned, i thought the food was good but not spectacular and not sure the price is justified but i guess it's westport. Wine is definitely overpriced. I'll probably be back but not a go-to.

This restaurant has become our go to special event place. So few of these experiences remain. Not only is the food exquisite, but it’s almost a throwback to “fine dining“. The uniformed staff is knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and incredibly attentive. The last time we went for Thanksgiving, at the end of the meal, the waiter handed us his business card and recommended that the next time we came back, we asked for him and he would be sure we were well taken care of. Who does that? Totally amazing. Cannot recommend this highly enough. 

The food was delicious, a little pricey but worth it. Great menus and wonderful staff. We came as a family and everyone found great options and enjoyed themselves.

Another great experience. I you haven’t been to this Stamford gem you are missing out on a fabulous dining experience. The food is excellent/consistent and the dining room beautifully decorated for the holidays. Simply put it is a charming establishment and a great place to dine before going to one of the many first rate live shows right next door. You will not be disappointed. ❤️

Always a favorite of ours for a lighter meal of tapas or a full dinner. We had mussels and baked goat cheese in tomato sauce.
