Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in New Canaan

We were a party of four for dinner. We shared a Margherita pizza as an appetizer. For entrees, we had Chicken Parmigiana, Chicken Scarpariello, Seafood Rissoto and Eggplant Parmesan. Everything was delicious and the portions were generous. We will definitely visit the restaurant again.

Food was exceptional and service was top notch. Great background dinner music.

I typically write about the food after my dining experiences however, this is an exception to the norm. Anne Marie was our server and was the most professional, energetic, menu knowledgeable person that we EVER had the pleasure encountering in all of our USA dining experiences. I write this as a retired traveling association executive who has literally dined in thousands of restaurants throughout the country. Anne Marie paved the way for a fabulous dinner which included a delicious beet salad and a really hard to beat barrel cut filet mignon. The RG is truly a hidden gem where you dine in a private house which has a “I feel like I’m dining in someone’s really nice house” vibe. It is also located right next door (one minute walk) to fantastic/professional live theater venues. All this combined gives you an experience you won’t soon forget.

So nice to dine in a restaurant with a vibrant bar scene yet a quiet dining room, where you can engage in conversation. Service was outstanding as was the food.

We enjoyed Elm! My kale salad was excellent and the burger was out of this world.
