50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Darien

“Wonderful dinner experience last evening. The food is delicious and although the place was packed, we never felt rushed to finish. Instead, we were thanked multiple times for visiting and the entire staff was warm and friendly. We will be back!“

“Look what I just found in my salad from Papa Joe’s - much #love as always!“

“Great food/ staff. Definitely a destination to dine“

“5 out of 5 hands down! The atmosphere is awesome, the staff are wonderful and the food... BOMB. The Katsu Chicken sandwich is my favorite! They also have ready to go cold salads, sandwiches, juices and small snacks which makes a quick stop easy, efficient and healthy!“

“5/5 Classic Christine
The exterior has so much character. The open courtyard is adorable, makes you want to write an obscure novel while sitting here. The interior is also adorable, it’s clean charming, and big. I get a vanilla latte everywhere I go and this was one of my favorites, not sure what syrup they use but it’s not too sweet which is the best. People were here working, and chatting. They have the newspaper and WiFi. Love this place.

“The great food and service that they provide at the Darien Diner❗️“

“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.“

“You pay more, but you get more. The burgers are really good, fries and shakes as well. They try to have good customer service.
Unfortunately this location had messy floors and a dirty bathroom, as well as just an unkempt appearance other than the kitchen. Also forgot to pack the ketchup, utensils, etc., even though it was part of the mobile order“

“Amazing place that really takes care of their customers!“

“This is my new favorite caffe! The sandwiches are incredible, they have a great coffee and tea selection, they have pastries, AND they have gelato! Everything is so good, and the ambiance is amazing. The staff are all incredibly kind and attentive, too. I love this place, 5 stars for sure.“

“We both had the caesar salad and the flank steak sandwich, which was delicious. Thank you for supporting Westport-Weston Chamber of Commerce Restaurant Week. We will be back soon!“

“To start, Orion is one of the best beers I've ever had. Great spot to chill with friends and family. My only gripe is the ambiance, it's really bright and a bit bare inside. Would be cool to see more art, cool lighting and other moody touches.“

“The food was absolutely delicious! We had Calamari, Veal Romano and Chicken Parm. All three dishes were some of the best Italian food I have ever had. The service was excellent. There was not one negative thing at our visit.“

“Siena is a lovely surprise nestled in the Watershed hotel in Norwalk. The restaurant is nicely decorated with a modern vibe and overlooks the Norwalk river. The menu is reasonably diverse and the food is very good. Fun cocktail list with one mocktail offering (Golden Hour) that was excellent. It's fully staffed so the attention level is very attentive. Ask for a table by the windows so you can look down at the river.“

“We had my son's First birthday in the Nash room - and it was amazing! Everyone had such a great time, the staff was so helpful and kind and make it an easy and fun experience for us. They took all the pressure off us so that we could enjoy ourselves. A big thank you to Jackie, George and Missy!!! Would definitely host another party there again!! We can't thank you enough!“

“I will always recommend the tater tots as they are perfectly seasoned and will never be soggy the way they package them. But my new obsession is the brownie sundae I want the recipe to the best brownie ever!“

“I stopped by Third Place by Half Full Brewery at 575 Pacific St in Stamford and it’s easily my new favorite hangout… coffee shop by day, vibrant taproom by night. Grabbed a drip and worked in one of their cozy pods mid‑morning, then returned for a flight of their award-winning drafts and a snack from the food truck out back. The space feels modern but warm, with exposed brick, high ceilings, and plenty of good vibes. Staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, guiding me through the beer selection and even chatting about upcoming live‑music evenings. The transition from coworking to brewery felt seamless and I stayed for hours. A true “third place” and an absolute must-visit in Stamford.“

“Best food truck in Connecticut! Delicious food and amazing workers. 10/10“

“Recently stopped in for cocktails after a weekend event at the Westport Library, conveniently across the street. We did not eat, but the staff was very friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. Carlos, our bartender, made great recommendations that were spot on, and he even brought us a specialty cocktail to try on the house. Chef Renato was also very engaging and generous, he offered us a tasty bite simply for the joy of hospitality. The wood-fired Neapolitan style pizza looked delicious, definitely want to try it next time!“

“Best ice cream in the US“

“Great healthy food very friendly great atmosphere authentic Japanese food the Roman chicken was amazing ❤️❤️❤️ recommend it big time“

“This is the best spot for lunch. i grew up in the restaurant business and it’s hard to find a place that has great food. This place is the best for lunch in Norwalk. Great size portions. Great flavors. Very friendly owners and staff.“

“I tried Sushi Soba in Greenwich for the first time, and honestly, I didn’t even know this gem was here! I ordered exactly what I usually get at my regular sushi spot in Norwalk, and the taste was just as amazing — maybe even better. The salmon sashimi was super fresh and delicious, the spicy tuna rolls were perfect, and the pork gyozas were cooked just right. The service was amazing too — our server kept refilling our waters without us asking and checked in to make sure we were doing good, which made the whole experience even better. The only small thing was that the fried Oreos didn’t come with ice cream, but it was still good. For the price and the amount of food my cousin and I ate, it was totally worth it. Definitely recommend coming here if you’re in Greenwich — I’ll for sure be coming back!“

“Fabian is absolutely amazing. Great service and the food is absolutely AMAZING! Visiting around town, took our company out to get burgers and wow. By far the best burger I have ever had. The team orders wings as well and all the food was so good! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food! Definitely coming back when I visit this area.“

“The best Italian food in Fairfield and Westchester County.

Italian-American hot food classics made from scratch every morning (like chicken scarpiello, eggplant parm, sausage & peppers, tons of vegetables) all bursting with real flavor and cooked with the finest ingredients and extra virgin olive oil.

The market itself feels old-school and designed with a great attention to detail… fresh mozzarella, imported meats and cheeses, pastas, desserts, cannolis, gelato are all here.

What makes it special is the people. Orlando, Jonathan, Oscar, and the whole crew run this place with heart and serious pride in their craft.

I’ve been coming bere 20 years. Their catering’s incredible too, it wins over rooms.“

“Amazingly good food! My husband and I were in Norwalk, CT for a wedding and the following day we were looking for a "brunch" place before heading back to Middletown, CT. Did a Google search and saw the reviews for Herb's Place. While it wasn't the sit down we were thinking of, I'm really glad we went. The food was SO good! We'll definitely go back if we're ever in that area again.“

“Ooooooooooh yeeaahh!! Been waiting for a place like this to come local! It's finally here and it's excellent! I order from this joint at least once a week. Love some lamb over rice. Keep it coming because we love it!“

“Fabulous place fabulous food fabulous staff fantastic time“

“With out question, this is my favorite place to eat. My biggest issue is deciding between lunch or breakfast and then narrowing down which sandwich I want. I can taste the quality of the ingredients and each sandwich is a moment of joy for my mouth. The staff is amazing and the food is my all time favorite. People are figuring out just how amazing this place is, that means we wait some time while enjoying a relaxed atmosphere and one of the best views in Norwalk... Invariably it's worth waiting for.“

“First time trying it today and lord it is so delicious!! I’m a huge poke bowl lover and I have pretty high expectations when it comes to quality poke bowls and this was delicious! Salmon was so fresh, all the ingredients were delicious and very fresh. Don’t hesitate lol js come and grab a bowl- the avocado is my own tho!! Pretty affordable price I’d say nothing too crazy it was abt 16 bucks for my bowl“

“Staff was incredible at a very crowded event, will definitely come back to try the foods.“

“Prices have gone up, I was charged $3 for a chicken taco yesterday and the menu no longer has prices. Fantastic food, cleanliness / hygiene less than desirable (cook was wearing sleeveless t with no hairnet) but you’re eating from a truck in an autobody shop 🤷🏻‍♀️“

“Cozy cafe in the heart of downtown Stamford with such a relaxing ambience. The colors, decor, abundance of outlets, and strong Wifi make this an ideal study spot. On top of that, the service is excellent and the food is delicious! A variety of snacks, desserts, drinks, and meals. Highly recommend.“

“Stopped in for a strawberry banana smoothie, 5 stars! Great service, great friendly atmosphere, and workers very knowledgeable about the product! Will be returning!“

“My first Bubbly’s Bubble Tea. I was so excited! Got a slushy with cherry bobas. It was amazing!! So delicious and refreshing. I loved my slushy! I got a new favorite drink now and going back for more this weekend! Thank you Bubbly’s. You are a wonderful addition to Wall Street.“

“I had an great experience here! The staff were friendly and happy to help. I ended up with a jerk pork platter when I heard someone order it ahead of me, great choice! And the beef patties are an absolute must. Would definitely recommend stopping by.“

“The food was delicious, service was great too! Really good drinks 🍹“

“you have to go there and order the fire 🔥 ball wrap... it's amazing 👏 😍 🙌“

“Amazing, filling tacos! ¡Muy sabroso!“

“Great location in a lively, redeveloped section of Stamford. We had an event with a fixed price menu and each course was amazingly good. Come hungry, because they give you a lot of food. Apps, salad, pasta and main courses were all wonderful. Great service and a great view of the harbor. Not sure if it is open to the public, but if it is, check it out.“

“We love 1234 Pizza and order from them on a weekly basis. Our favorites are the beef pepperoni pizza, the garlic knots, and the zeppolis! We always get delivery through them. The food always arrives quickly, and it’s fresh and hot. I also feel like they are more reasonably priced compared to some of the competition. Highly recommend!“

“No better place on a beautiful summer day than on the water at The Beer Garden. And we love playing here, great spot for music.“

“We hadn't made a reservation but Lucia was super accommodating. We love eating here as it has a bustling vibe, like a New York bistro. Food, as always outstanding and atmosphere first class. Cannot wait to return.“

“I ordered 3 tacos- steak and chicken. They were easily some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. The quality of the food was really good, You could tell they did not cheap out on the meat. In addition, the proportion was good and the friendly service Jenn gave me was was nice. If you’re looking for a good tacos/ food i highly recommend Los Poblanos“

“Good food and spiked shakes“

“It was our first time there. A great place to have a cup of coffee, and some good eats. Also the lunch menu looked very good, I’ll try it next time I’m there. We’re going back, highly recommend it“

“Tutto molto buono e posto gradevole“

“Amazing, fresh food! Great customer service.“
