“A tradition! My friends and I cycle all over Stamford, New Canaan, Pound Ridge, Darien, and more …and about half the time they insist that we stop at “mother‘s” (as they call it) before we head to our respective homes. We always get rolls with egg, cheese, broccoli rabe, and bacon …and pancakes …and coffee and it’s definitely heaven.

Thanks for the warm welcome and fresh coffee every time!“

“I was hesitant bc all reviews I saw said this place is loud, however brunch on a Sunday is clearly the best time to go. I went with my family of six for my children’s birthday brunch and the food, service and ambiance was great. Was not loud or crowded and I will def be back. Thank you!“

“The pizza was delicious and the service was amazing. We came with our 2 year old for a quick bite on our road trip and they cleaned off a table for us, cut our child's pizza into pieces and put Bluey on the TV without us asking for any of it. We will definitely make this choice #1 when driving through again!“

“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.“
