50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Darien

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

“First and foremost, I RARELY give any restaurant five stars. This restaurant earned their five stars; food, service, atmosphere all hit the mark! The food is absolutely delicious. I'm a seafood lover and I must say it's the BEST seafood restaurant I've ever been to. Everything I ate was very fresh and the kitchen definitely know what they're doing. Calamari was crispy on the outside and tender inside. It comes with buffalo sauce, lemon aioli and bamu sauce which is a spicy thin Asian sauce. Clam chowder was creamy, had the usual bacon, clams and celery and garnished with a clam on the shell; great touch if you ask me. The spicy tuna tartare was my favorite thing I ate. It came with papadum chips that were light and crispy (better than potato chips!). The tuna tartare had the right amount of spice that didn't overpower your tastebuds but it let you know you were eating fresh, delicious tuna. The cucumbers added a very refreshing touch to the dish and I loved the wasabi aioli! The hot lobster roll was perfect. Coleslaw was delicious. The steamers are always messy to eat but worth it! I had a mini seafood feast and I was super satisfied leaving the restaurant. I usually finish a good meal with dessert but I had no room. There's always a next visit for that! I didn't try my son's cheeseburger because I strictly wanted seafood but it was cooked medium just how we asked and he said it was delicious. My son is a picky eater so if he says it's good, it's good. Ambiance is very nice. There's indoor and outdoor seating. If you're a sun lover you'd love to be outdoors with the sun shining on you while you dine with a great view of the water and boats. Inside had nice nautical decor. They had a nice bar area with lots of drinks. Our server, MJ, was amazing. He was very attentive to all our needs. It was our first time eating here and we will return because of MJ and the amazing food. Our cups were always full and finished dishes cleared away. I appreciate servers like MJ because it elevates the dining experience. Great food can only get you so far but hard workers like MJ truly magnify a great experience. The restaurant was super packed. They have valet parking and I honestly thought we would wait forever but we didn't. We got in right away and our food promptly came out. MJ made sure we got the food in the order we wanted and we didn't feel rushed or ignored. Again, this is why I'm giving them five stars! If you love seafood, great service and a beautiful view, check them out.“

“It was quiet early Thursday evening at Rizzuto's but the service and the dishes (Baker's 12 of oysters and Margherita pizza) were outstanding. Our waiter Aleksandra provided excellent and knowledgeable service. She knows the menu very well. One important point for me: the focaccia was delicious with the oysters and the pizza tasty. We will come back.“

“Best Colombian food in Connecticut hands down“

“We never have been to a restaurant in Connecticut as good as this one. The service from Ahmed A was excellent as was all the staff. The food was outstanding as well. It was made exactly the way we wanted it and the whole experience could not be better. When we checked in, we told them it was our anniversary and they set up our table with a card and hearts celebrating it. They gave us champaign and desert on top of our order which was a total surprise and both items were excellent as well. A 5-star rating is not enough for this excellent establishment. For a special occasion it is the place to go to in Fairfield County.“

“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.“

“Our first time there and it was a wonderful experience. Saturday brunch on the upper deck (didn;t hurt that the weather was absolutely perfect). The wait staff was attentive without being overbearing and all four of us loved our food! (tuna tartare, burrata and the cheeseburger.) Must give an extra shout-out to their salt & pepper fries - they were over the top delicious - all four of us agreed on that! We'll be back!“

There’s a clear level of care behind every detail, and it shows in everything that arrives at the table. Each dish feels thoughtfully prepared, and that kind of effort doesn’t go unnoticed - it just makes you happy to be there.“

“I love this restaurant. Harrison and Blue were my bartenders. They were amazing. The food was even more amazing. I’ve had chicken Scarpiello in 50 restaurants before and I have my favorites but their Pork Scarpiello was the best I’ve ever had! The cherry peppers were chopped by hand. That’s quality. Wonderful staff and excellent food! I wish 90% of restaurants could put this type of effort in. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone!“

“Pesima la atención de las que responden el teléfono!“

“We arrived at 9:30pm, the restaurant was set to close at 10. The hostess welcomed us in and seated us with no fuss. Ines took care of all our refills and drink orders- she was so sweet with my kids. We ordered the Salmon, the Greek salad, and my son ordered the kids chicken fingers and Mac and cheese. Everything was delicious! Waaay exceeded my expectations.
