“On Sunday 3/17 my girlfriend and I attended Washington Prime to celebrate our anniversary. We were met by Webster who had our table prepared and ready for us to be seated. We ordered several appetizers and meals that were out of those world. The drinks and service was by far top 10 in Connecticut. Gillian and Webster went above and beyond to make our day a special day. We will return in a few weeks to enjoy another 5 star meal and service. Thank you sooooooooo much for making our special day an amazing one.”

“Fantastic sourdough and pastries (especially the croissants)Things are pricey but worth it. Quality is top notch. They focus on small details like using homemade preserves and nicely toasted almonds. The flaky pastries here rival France . Sourdough flavors alternate which make sono bakery a fun place to try new sourdough concepts. Some breads are better than others but all are good quality. Highly recommend the almond croissants”

“If you’re a foodie like me, you’ll love this place! The menu has an array of both traditional and eclectic southern style dishes.My guest was hesitant to sit on the side by the window, so I took that seat (well insulated)and was very comfortable. We were promptly greeted by our server Chris G. He took He took my drink order, however, my guest was undecided, so she proceeded to quiz him incessantly about everything on the menu from the cocktails to the dinners and appetizers . I was a bit embarrassed. Thank goodness he was extremely patient, he literally accommodated her every request with grace!!We tried the shrimp and grits and it did not disappoint. The shrimp was plump, tender and fresh, we chose the cheddar grits! They were creamy and complemented the dish perfectly. I went with a short ribs. They were so delicious I took the last piece of bread in the basket to “sop” up the sauce. For dessert she had poached peer . pair and I went with an espresso martini.I just spoke with her yesterday , which prompted me to finish my review. She has eaten there now three times friends and she looks all the way up in Milford.hats off to proprietor AND chef-Kudos to the entire team!”

“What a cute little place. With snow on the ground the setting could not have been more picturesque. We shared the Warm Brussels Sprout Salad, a Pasta with Eggplant and the Salmon. All were very yummy. If I was to pick nits, the Salmon could have used a little more zing.”

“Came in on a whim, I had initially been planning on eating dumplings tonight but the dumpling place was closed. I was blown away by the food, absolutely delicious and Srihari (the waiter) helped me pick an appetizer and entree that was perfect for me (I love spicy food but can't eat it as much as I used to because of stomach issues).The okra was very crispy, wonderfully spiced, and was just a tiny bit spicy. It was spicy enough to enhance the flavor but not so spicy that I'd start sweating. The tikka masala was also delicious. The sauce was very creamy and flavorful without being drowned in oil. The chicken was tender and really soaked in the flavor of the sauce. It was served with light, fluffy long grained rice. I also ordered a side of buttered naan, which was fantastic. The naan was lightly seasoned and generously buttered, making it the perfect accoutrement for the creamy masala. It added just the right bit of flavor and structure to the dish.In addition to the fantastic food, the wait staff was superb. As I mentioned, the waiter (Srihari) who took my order was extremely helpful. He helped me pick my entire order and was very attentive to my table during my whole meal even though the restaurant had a fair bit of diners in it, including a couple larger tables where he'd likely get better tips. He came by with exactly what I needed, when I needed it, from refills to to go boxes, without being overbearing. While I was eating, he'd generally leave me alone except to ask once how the food was. Then, right when I was done eating, he came by and offered to get boxes and the check. Absolutely perfect service! Srihari wasn't the only helpful staff member either, a waitress also came by my table several times. One time she was bussing another table and just happened to notice my water was low. She came by and refilled it without me saying anything even though I wasn't 'her' table.From start to end, I had a wonderful meal here and will definitely be coming back again! I would've attached more pictures, but the food was so good, I completely forgot about it until I was already done.”

“Great food and cocktails! Consistently delicious. Frequent menu additions/changes. Great happy hour. The passion fruit margarita is the perfect summer drink. Some of the best small plates anywhere. The guacamole, gambas and brussels sprouts are a must as well as the pollo chacha. Friendly staff, fun atmosphere and very clean. Great place for a celebration!”

“Have lived in town for over 30 years, live within walking distance, and went here last night with my wife for the first time. What a mistake, as we should've been going here since it opened! Both of our meals were terrific, service was friendly, and atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable. We're adding this to our list our regular dining spots and will be recommending to friends.”

“Awesome that they are open for brunch/lunch as we have always been wowed by their food but used to only go for special occasion dinners. Everything we have tried on the menu has been delicious. The food is innovative and always amazing. And the atmosphere is fun, love their space. We always pop in to the British product shop next door after lunch to grab treats which is an added bonus.”

“Everything was perfect! Pastries, sandwiches, coffee, quiche, everything was perfectly made with high quality ingredients. Also, who would have thought that a bakery could make such a good roast beef sandwich? Danishes also highly recommended.”

“We love rebel daughter cookies! Came in today and bought an adorable sweatshirt and almost every flavor cookie!!! We loved all of them so far our favorite is the s’mores! Will be back for more!! 25⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Delicious food and great to bring home . It's always busy which is always a good sign. Very nice servers. Limited tables and not a place to linger but pleasant to have a quick meal if you do decide to eat in.”

“Coals makes pizza unlike any I've ever had. The pizza crust is about 2 millimeters thick and it's cooked on a grill (over coal I presume). It's different. Once you get used to it, and it's taken me a few visits, it's delightful.My kids love the wings which come in a few choices of flavors. The salads are phenomenal and big enough for the table to share. And the pizza is tasty and I find myself craving what's leftover in my fridge as I type this.They also have a really nice beer/wine/cocktail menu.Oh, and I shouldn't forget the Nutella dessert pizza, it's pretty special.”

“This is like being in Paris in Darien. The crêpes were the best I’ve ever had. The savory crêpes were so elegant and delicious. I didn’t think you could make sweet crêpes any better than the ones I’ve had in the past however they were better than any I’ve had in the past. The service was authentic in excellent. Highly recommend. New York City has nothing on Darien crêpes!”

“The French fries were consistently good, making them a reliable and tasty side option. They maintained their crispiness even after a while, ensuring a delightful experience throughout the meal.”

“A special place! Fun and warm, serving perfectly cooked, delicious with graciousness and kindness. Comfy and delish. For the price of Panera, you can support an original, charming place with much yummier options. This is a find!”

“Hands down the best Brazilian Steakhouse in the Tri State area and maybe beyond!Parking: Always able to park in the garageKid-friendliness: Very friendly to my children”

“One of the best experiences I had in a while, coming back to Connecticut after 6 years. Very friendly staff people were incredible. Staff stayed late even after they were closed. We were treated very well. We’re welcome to very well. Food was amazing.”

“Very friendly staff, assisted with my choice since it was my first time at establishment. I got the beef banh mi and let me tell you no regrets. The bread to meat to greenery ratio is amazing so good 10 out of 10 would recommend they have different spice levels which is a plus. definitely check them out.”

“I have been watching and waiting for the store to open for weeks! My first time in today to pick up lunch and ended up also with dinner! The gentleman behind the counter are really friendly and they are Very helpful with suggestions to add to my platter. I could not decide, so I went with chicken rice with everything in on and a lamb rice with everything on it. Definitely NOT disappointed! The serving size for just one platter is enough to share. Having two planners I now have meals for 2 days! The grilled lamb and chicken are cooked perfectly! All the toppings for the salad are freshly cut and displayed nicely for you to view their huge selection. They were also nice to toss in the Mediterranean donuts. I will absolutely make this my go-to spot on Washington St!”

“Great people all around! The owner is fantastic for helping us out over at my rowing club by helping us hungry rowers out. These people are amazing and they have really tasty sandwiches. I got to try some sandwich with peppers and mozzarella with porsciutto and it was phenomenal! Amazing place. Must try.”

“Me and my friend arrived there 3 minutes before closing and Margarita was telling us that she will still take our order. That was soo sweet of her. We ordered two burritos, and a softdrink. We each paid 12-13$ for all of that food. The Chefs were also saying hi and were super happy to take our orders.Burritos were 10/10. fresh salad, fresh beans, fresh avocados, good spices, good sauces. Super warm and super filling. Definitely worth it and definitely will go again!!!!Dietary restrictions: I have a Cilantro allergy and it was no problem to change my order”

“We love this place! The pizza is really good and they’re veryyy generous with the basil which is much appreciated! The atmosphere is nice and chill. We especially love the bartender, JD! He always makes us feel welcome and he’s also a great bartender. Magic 5 pie has definitely become one of our go to spots. :) thank you!”
