“Very friendly staff and lovely clean environment. This was my husbands first time coming in and he was welcomed instantly. The staff answered his questions with knowledge and ease. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the shwarma sandwiches (mixed for him and chicken for me) and we highly recommend it. The ingredients were fresh and the sandwiches were made with care. We will visit again.“

“Met some out-of-town friends here on a Sat at 11a for brunch. The atmosphere is incredible, not very crowded, with lots of outdoors covered seating. I got the farmer’s omelette which was nothing special. However, the ceviche was outstanding and flavorful. I highly recommend. My wife got the Fennel Avocado salad and octopus appetizer. She loved both. She only wished the fennel pieces were cut in thirds. The portions are average in size and prices more akin to NYC than Rye. But overall we were happy.“

“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!“

“I tried their sweet and sour chicken and it came with complementary nachos and dip which was very tasty. The chicken was good as well. Hopefully will go back again and try food from the Desi menu. They have two restaurants in one location. The Desi one is open during the day and not at night“

“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.“

“Got the Big Kalhuna French toast with raspberry drizzle. It was divine! Sad it's only a special and not a fixed item on menu. The place can get crowded and takes a bit of time for your order to be made and brought. But it's worth the wait and price. Portions are huge!!“

“I cannot say enough good things about this place. The vibe/decor, food and staff are top notch. We ordered the lamb kebab pita with fries $12.50 and Arabic style beef swarma platter $15.60. Lamb was super soft with a generous portion. The Arabic beef was not what we expected but delicious and we're glad we got it to try, it's like a chopped beef. The staff was very patient and super friendly. After we finished our food we decided to get gelato $10 for 3 scoops, we got Nutella, dulce de leche and speculoos, SO GOOD. The guy was so nice he gave my toddler his very own complimentary micro scoop in a teenie cone ❤ he took one lick and the scoop ended up on the floor and then he OFFERED HIM A REPLACEMENT!!! I wish this place was closer to NY, I would go weekly for sure!“

“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.
