Elm Restaurant New Canaan
I'm really looking forward to the open of this restaurant later this month. I'm really hoping this be comes something special.
Underwhelmed by Napa & Co (Stamford, CT)
I completely agree with your review. In general this is what I've been saying about CT restaurants overall. Also, spacing is too tight.
Upscale in Grand Cayman
I haven't tried it yet but I've heard good things about Osetra. I just booked there for Valentines day.
Why Are There No Great Restaurants In Fairfield County?
Rebecca's is way overpriced and not worth the money! Snooty service as well.
Tuscany butcher shop/Restaurant New Canaan. Anyone tried either of these?
Ii was wondering if anyone had tried either of these yet. I've been really looking forward to the butcher shop in particular.
Nicholas Roberts Norwalk Ct?
I'm going for the first time this weekend. Any must haves?
Prime Dry Aged Beef In Fairfield County?
I was very surprised about this. They lead you to believe it's prime. These days you have to read very carefully. I enjoy Capital Grille, but they also use aged choice for their streaks.

Prime Dry Aged Beef In Fairfield County?
Thanks for the responses. I didn't know I had so many choices. Whole Foods carries choice not prime. I was surprised. I'm looking forward to the new butcher shop in New Canaan.

Why Are There No Great Restaurants In Fairfield County?
Going to give Bar Rosso a try this weekend. I'm going to try Gabriele's of Greenwich but their pricing is crazy. $62 for a Ribeye? That's just ridiculous!
Best "must go to" Restaurant in CT (but not fairfield county)

Best Steak House in NYC? [moved from Manhattan]
I love Keens. Great food and atmosphere. Also, they are very wine friendly. I've held many wine dinners there. Only $20 corkage!
Why Are There No Great Restaurants In Fairfield County?
Friendly yes, professional no. Can they describe the dish in detail? Do they know the ingredients? If I ask about the wine can they help?
Why Are There No Great Restaurants In Fairfield County?
Thanks for the reply's, I appreciate your opinions. I'd like to reply to a few points. I do believe Fairfield County can support restaurants of this price point. T.H. is just on example. Decor is very important. Part of the experience of eating out is the ambience. There is no excuse to pile tables on top of each other. Professional service is a must. A big problem with Schoolhouse is that they use what seems like high school students for servers. Not for a restaurant that wants to be taken seriously. I did mention special occasion but I also said I eat at all the restaurants I listed on a regular basis. These are meals I pay for myself not on a corporate account. In short "if you build it they will come"

I've tried Thomas Henkelman, Napa, Harvest Supper, Da Pietros, Schoolhouse, Lolitas, Bernards, Le Chateau, le cremaillere, Mortons, Capital Grill, etc.

Why Are There No Great Restaurants In Fairfield County?
I always feel very dissapointed this time of year about the restaurant quality in Fairfield County. For me summer is celebration time. Both my wife's and my birthday and our anniversary all fall between May and July. I hope every year a new restaurant will open that will truly excite me. I have tried them all in the area. While many are very good, none are what I would call special. The closet restaurant that I would consider for a special occasion would be X2O in Yonkers. I don't understand why Fairfield County doesn't have some thing great. I know people in this area would go. Maybe I'm spoiled by living so close to NYC, but I'm tired of having to go to the city every time for that special dinner. If they build it people would come! Here are some of the restaurants I eat regularly at in NYC that I wish we had somthing of this quality in our area. Eleven Madison Park, Craft, Gramercy Tavern, Keens, Pampano, etc.

Foodie and Non Foodie restaurant for Ft. Lauderdale/Miami Special Occasion?
Looking for something more upscale and not a chain restaurant.
Foodie and Non Foodie restaurant for Ft. Lauderdale/Miami Special Occasion?
It's my moms 80th birthday. She like good but simple food. She lives in Ft Lauderdale. Were willing to drive a hours distance. So I guess we can go to Miami or West Palm. Any suggestions.
Club A Steakhiouse? Or Steakhouse with Corkage?
Club A says they do corkage for $25. I wasn't impressed with Uncle Jack's or Bobby Vans.
Club A Steakhiouse? Or Steakhouse with Corkage?
I need a steakhouse that allows corkage. I'm going with a bunch of wine friends and bringing our own wine. I've been to Keens (a possibility) but wanted to try some where different. I've read some good things about Club A and their corkage is reasonable. Has anyone eaten there recently? Or any suggestions for a steakhouse with corkage.

Western Fairfield County CT - Anyone Home; Where are the posters
Still here, mostly lurking. There is just nothing to get excited about in the area. I seem to always wind up going to Manhattan!
