50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Darien

“Food is delicious! Went for dinner best burger in town! Meatloaf yummmm“

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

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

“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!“

“Found myself in Darien for the first time! Neat was an incredible find. The barista at the register was so kind and had excellent customer service. I ordered their seasonal maple latte and it was perfect! It’s hard to find good quality espresso in CT with house made syrups so this was a gem. If you’re looking for specialty coffee Neat is the place! If you like diner coffee stay away 😂“

“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!“

“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.“

“Friendly staff, plenty of seating later in the evening once dinner rush dies down. Like most Shack Shack locations, orders take a long time to prepare. My dine-in order with a cheeseburger, fries, and shake took nearly 20 minutes despite there being very few customers.“

“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.“

“This place is amazing! One of my favorite local outdoor bars with many different room options. The food is great, and you can never go wrong with their brick-oven pizza. The staff is kind and the atmosphere is one of a kind; live Dj events, love bands on Friday's/ weekends with many different events all through each month.“

“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!“

“This place is incredible!! I love the atmosphere and the kindness everyone has shown there! Soo excited to get donuts this morning!!“

“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.“

“Positives First:
-Beautiful View/ Scenery from large floor to ceiling windows.
-Great interior design with spacious tables.
-Very good food.

Negatives:
- Service did not match the atmosphere and the price point.

The service however was a huge disappointment. After providing my name for the reservation, the host walked about 8 steps and then without speaking pointed to the table across the room where we were apparently supposed to sit. I asked for clarification, and he then muttered in annoyance that one by the window….

Next up, we were asked if we want still or sparkling water, I asked for a bottle of still.
We received tap water. I again asked for a bottle of still, we then received lime flavored tap water. Finally our server stepped in and clarified they do not have bottled still water, only filtered…
I do want to mention besides the host no one was rude, but the service in general just didn’t seem to keep up.“

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

“Loved this brewery!! Cute, clean space. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite empty. We have a CT beer passport book that brought us there. Parking lot was a good size and easily accessible. The staff was so sweet and attentive. Seating was open and they served you at the table. A handful of beers on tap with a mix of options. They have a full menu and my boyfriend and I had the tacos - chicken and pulled pork, which were both delicious! Great sized portions. We also loved their logo, super cute design. I would love to see their space busier on a Saturday afternoon! If you drive by, consider stopping by for some great vibes.“

“best place ever! beer is amazing and the staff is great. I spilt a beer and within 1 minute the staff came to me with a new pint and cleaned everything up. 100% recommend, great vibes and beer. the only thing I would say is the nachos we got had parchment paper at the bottom and half the nachos were inedible due to the paper being stuck to them. doesn’t matter still 10/10 experience“

“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!“

“Best tres leche cake in the area!“

“We had the most wonderful evening at Bar Vera. Nancy and Kiria were so kind, attentive and welcoming. Our favorites were the fried halloumi, the kofte meatballs, and the best baklava I’ve ever had. One of the coziest date night spots in Stamford. Cannot wait to come back here ASAP!“

“Best ice cream in the US“

“Dude was very nice. Welcoming of the kids. Enthusiastic about his tasty beer. Worth a stop.👍🏻“

“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.“

“TODAY WE WENT TO CWISPY CHKN IN STAMFORD CT #foodlover #foodreview #review #ct #stamford #organic #chicken we ordered the sliders & chicken N waffles there were a few parking spaces in the front & the location is on a corner. My good friend Heaven recommended this restaurant #foodie #crunchy #foryou & my favorite item was the sliders #yummy #viral #shorts“

“this is my favorite place in Norwalk, I come here all the time. I personally have never had a bad experience here. the staff has always been super sweet. I always get an affogato, it’s now my comfort dessert. i recommend this place to everyone i know. i’ve been to italy twice and this is the one gelato spot that actually feels like i’m back in italy. highly recommend!!“

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

“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.“

“My wife and I had dinner at The Farmers Table. Service was great, the food was absolutely delicious. We had a wonderful dining experience here.. highly recommend this restaurant will be back for more!!!“

“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.“

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

“Fabulous place fabulous food fabulous staff fantastic time“

“Picked up dinner last night and it was absolutely delicious..everything was wonderful 🤩😋“

“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!“

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

“Great food 🥘 great service“

“Food delicious.
However, there’s no menu which is a little confusing. You just walk in and there’s a counter and you just asked what they have and they make you a plate. The oxtail was straight deliciousness. Tender, flavorful. The plate served was a large portion.“

“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.“

“Great pizza, wonderfully creative sandwiches (and killer meatballs!). Legendary jazz and blues legends on the walls and the best house music. Love it!!“

“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.“

“Food was good burger was nice juicy recommend medium cook. I docked a star for the side portions. For the $$$ you should get more then a hand full of fries. The staff was great and location small. Wasn't busy but could see it getting pretty loud at busy times. All and all legit spot for burgers.“

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

“Amazing, filling tacos! ¡Muy sabroso!“

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

“Amazing, fresh food! Great customer service.“

“In the heart of Greenwich, Rinaldi’s Country Deli proves that the art of the sandwich is alive and well in Connecticut. Their menu tempts with endless possibilities, but my loyalty lies with the classic Italian, bursting with peppers that pack just the right punch. When everything else is going up, Rinaldi’s keeps it real with prices that make sense—no frills, just damn good food.“
