I cannot thank Chris and his Team enough for providing an excellent atmosphere, food and, service after a funeral. I walked into the room and it was so beautifully decorated with tones of yellow. The staff was so kind, professional and courteous. As soon as everyone was seated the service began. There was not one complaint. Today, the guests are still raving about this restaurant. Chris, as I called him the legendary "Chris", thank you! I am forever grateful to you and your entire Team. I will definitely visit again when I am back in town.

Came here for a birthday party it was my first time here. This restaurant is on the small side but it's cute and it is within a banquet hall. So there are other private rooms within this building. When you walk in the lobby area has a piano, and some comfortable seating area chairs. There is also a small bar area that looked nice. For starters I had the wedge salad. The bacon that came with it was 2 strips f it so it was not pieces of bacon like other wedge salads come with. The garlic bread we got for the table was delicious. I shared a steak that came with broccoli and potatoes. The broccoli was steamed and good. Potatoes were good too. The Steak I did not really enjoy much. But everyone else who had the steak at the table really liked it. We had some table comedy too. The waiters were nice and all the other staff too. This is a big seafood and steak place. If I come here again I would try another type of steak and maybe the meatballs as a starter.

Everyone is always made to feel like family, this multigenerational restaurant has built such a loyal following with delicious steaks, seafood, and pasta. The garlic bread is like nothing you've ever had before and don't ever be afraid to say you'd like a little more salad or bread you'll certainly get it with a smile. Highly recommend!

This is the best restaurant in Darien, hands down. The service is top drawer. The view is incomparable too. The choice cuts of steak, the fresh seafood, and oh, the lobster! There are wonderful starters too, such as shrimp cocktail and oysters always are my husband's go-to choice. Some of my favorites include the eggplant parmigiana and the meaty lamb chops. I cannot wait to get back in town to enjoy this place again.
