“Great food, welcome atmosphere, great service, fair prices….what’s not to love?!?”

“Food was excellent, Robust wine selection, great atmosphere and decor, but above all else was the choice of music. It is very refreshing to listen to classics that fit the appearance and feel of a nice sit down restaurant. Would highly recommend”

“Best Thai food! I ordered the Thai salad, chicken drunken noodles, and Thai clear broth noodle soup with beef. Everything was absolutely delicious. The peanut sauce was excellent, and the drunken noodles were flavorful, light, yet comforting. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was clean and cozy. I highly recommend this place!”

“The food at L'Ostal is delicious. The maitre d' is very attentive and very focused on ensuring everyone has a good gastronomic and overall experience. Staff was attentive and very polite. The chef sent us a complimentary order of the Fugaz bread, which we had not ordered but was a lovely touch as we were first timers at this restaurant. The Cauliflower gratin was honestly heavenly. And I have had a lot of gratin from living in France. My husband ordered the signature gnocchi and i had the Merlu fish (Hake) in a salsa verde with lentils and squash. Both were really well executed. I loved the herb dressing on their green salad (salade verte) as well. We will definitely be going back !”

If you have gotten used to proper third wave coffee in NYC, within Fairfield County, don’t waste your time anywhere else.”

“5 out of 5 hands down! The atmosphere is awesome, the staff are wonderful and the food... BOMB. The Katsu Chicken sandwich is my favorite! They also have ready to go cold salads, sandwiches, juices and small snacks which makes a quick stop easy, efficient and healthy!”

“The great food and service that they provide at the Darien Diner❗️”

“Got some take out for my girl here. Classic general sue chicken . A local shop that is good for the neighborhood. If you ask for extra fortune cookies they don’t even charge you which is nice because I will save them for my daughter as a snack because they are healthy instead of regular cookies. Make sure you get the combo meal as well it is cheaper than ordering chicken and fried rice on the side”

“We visited the Park Avenue location, and service was amazing. Lattes were the best!”

“Memorable Happy Hour! My colleagues and I recently hosted a business happy hour at Scena, and we were blown away by the fantastic service, delicious food, and refreshing drinks. Cristian's attentive presence was commendable. He consistently checked in with us, making us feel valued and well taken care of. The bartender and the rest of the crew were incredibly friendly and accommodating, adding to the positive vibe of the evening. Scena rose to the occasion, delivering beyond our expectations for our group of 25-30 people. The tastefully decorated interior and cozy seating arrangements created a comfortable space for socializing and networking. Overall, our experience at Scena was phenomenal. The exceptional service, mouthwatering food, and delightful ambiance made it an unforgettable happy hour. We wholeheartedly recommend Scena for a memorable dining experience.”

“It's been awhile since I've been to duchess restaurant. Still as good as I remember had a pastrami and Swiss on a hard roll with mustard tomato and onion and curly fries for$ ,50 cents extra”

“I’ve been dining at Molto’s first location in Fairfield for years since I was in college, so I was excited to try their second location in Darien Commons! The restaurant is absolutely stunning and has the same menu we know and love. You can’t go wrong with any of their homemade pasta dishes or pizza, and you could make a meal out of their appetizers, like Italian tapas style. The short rib was cooked perfectly in our risotto, and the bolognese sauce for my pasta was delicious. Fantastic drinks too. Servers were very attentive and food came out quickly. We went early on a Sunday afternoon and it was a wonderful experience.”
