“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!“

“Great food and service have been there several times. However it's very loud and hard to have conversations they really need to do something to bring down the noise level very hard to communicate with other people at your table we felt like we were shouting at each other.“

“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.“

“The order always comes earlier or on time, piping hot, delivered with a smiling face, and is some of the most delicious pizza I have ever had.

When I moved to Darien from Manhattan, I was concerned about pizza. Heights Pizza is perfect. I asked for it well done and it was well done. It’s not greasy it’s nice and thin. It’s perfect. I love heights Pizza!!!“
