New American Restaurants near Ridgefield, CT

“What a nice quaint restaurant with a very comfortable atmosphere in small cozy setting. The wait staff was very nice and attentive. Very good food. Wine selection is a little lacking but doable. Price was a little high and parking was a little challenging.“

“Great New addition to the Ridgefield scene. All the food was excellent with the Filet Mignon being the star of the evening. Wines served by the glass were wonderful and complimented the meal well. The service was attentive, on point, and not intrusive at all. The ambience was enhanced by the music playlist that brings up the vibe of the whole place. Job well done!“

“great food and fast service“

The food was delicious, the decorations were beautiful, the atmosphere was warm and cozy, all of the staff that we encountered were young but surprisingly all so very well mannered, polite and very nice!!

“Second time we have driven from Avon for lunch at Baldanza. Well worth the two hour round trip drive. Everything was PERFECT! Large selection to chose from. Food was delicious. Presentation beautiful. Service OUTSTANDING with no pressure or hurry. At our first visit in the Fall we were seated outside next to the brook which was nice and tranquil. The view yesterday of the ice and snow covered brook from our table inside this quaint former school house was picturesque. Highly recommend Baldanza. We will definitely be back.“

“We hosted my daughter‘s bridal shower at J Law and it was everything we hoped for. Clara, Megan, and the entire team were attentive, kind, and incredibly helpful throughout the day. The private event space was ideal, spacious, welcoming, and flexible enough for us to personalize with our own decor. The food was delicious. The service was top-notch and the atmosphere made everyone feel at home. I wouldn’t hesitate to return for another celebration. Thank you, Clara and the J Law team for helping us create such a memorable day!“

“After a kids party, I was looking for someplace that entertained me and my tastebuds.
We hit the nail on the head as we decided on Craft Kitchen and Bar. We came for the food, stayed for the tasty, delicious margarita, my favorite drink! As a special appetizer, we got the haloumi with peaches. It was pure flavor fireworks. I then ordered a house sald with grilled chicken. It was so fresh it practically waved hello. The grilled chicken? Tender, juicy, and full of flavor.
Even my kids, who are normally culinary critics of the highest order, gave the chicken tenders and fries a standing ovation. Craft Kitchen and Bar, you’ve officially spoiled my taste buds, and my margarita standards! We will be back!“

“Wonderful service and atmosphere!“

“Wonderful service, food and cocktails. Had a bit of everything and it all was exceptional. Highly recommend.“

“Food was exceptional and our server Santiago was very friendly and knowledgeable. Great experience for us!!“

“This place is a gem, a real throwback to when dining out was a pleasure. Been here several times for lunch and dinner. Warmly welcomed each time. The service and the setting and the food are all top-notch. Great fish always, and many traditional Italian dishes to choose from. Good sides, too. Each dinner entree comes with a lovely salad , nicely presented with a tasty house dressing. I feel fortunate to live nearby but would drive longer if I had to. many of their regulars come from other towns.“

“One of the best restaurants in Danbury - a classic rustic spot serving everything from Middle Eastern favorites to unique pasta dishes, loads of vegetarian options and the best sesame crusted salmon filet you've ever had! Not only is the restaurant itself quaint and charmingly decked out in antique Americana, it's an iconic local eatery that's outlasted most establishments- opening in the 70s and still serving up Mediterranean fare with a twist today. a must-try. 5 stars!“

“We thoroughly enjoy the Mill Plain Diner. The staff are always friendly, courteous and professional. The food is served hot and is always delicious, while it is reasonably priced. We have any of number of diners we could go to for our weekly weekend breakfasts, but Mill Plain Diner is the one we choose.“

“Great food and staff Calm atmosphere“

“Have had dinner at The Arch previously each time everything was tasty and prepared well. My wife who's very particular was more than satisfied. In June my wife and I had our wedding at The Arch. We Highly Recommend , Zennel and his staff are professional. The chef definitely knows his way around the kitchen. The food, from appetizers, to desert, everything, was delicious. The entrees were perfect, the short ribs were to die for, no knife necessary. Our chocolate on chocolate wedding cake was incredible.“
