13 Best Cocktail Bars in Stamford

“My husband and I recently hosted our baby shower for our first baby at Flinder's last weekend (3/21/26), and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. We hosted roughly 55 people and utilized the entire restaurant for our private event (restaurant buyout). From the onset, Ross and Eric (Mgr. + Assistant Mgr.) were incredibly friendly, responsive to all my questions via email, and agreed to meet not once, but TWICE in-person to ensure all details were accounted for, and that our requests would be accommodated. The event ran smoothly because of their professionalism and attention to detail. During the event, the kitchen, bar, and wait staff were incredibly attentive, kind, friendly, and honestly felt like part of the party the entire time. Our family and friends raved about the entire experience, including the service, the food, and the configuration of the space. We left smiling from ear-to-ear, and are incredibly grateful to everyone at Flinder's for helping to make our baby shower a great success!“

“The best food going back again .⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

The service is welcoming, the food is delicious, and the overall vibe makes it a perfect spot to relax and have a great time.

We highly recommend RIZZ Lounge & Grill to anyone looking for more than just a typical restaurant experience!“

“Our first experience with this restaurant and we went during restaurant week on the last Saturday night, needless to say we were very happy! This is a gem on High Ridge road I wish I had discovered sooner. Menu selections are excellent and their offerings for restaurant week were wonderful, also a nod for honoring the promotional menu on a Saturday night which apparently isn't easy to find. Portion sizes of appetizes: Caesar salad, escargot and mix green salads all wonderful. Entrees of Chicken parm over linguini, Roasted Pork Chop and Crispy Skin Salomon all were of generous size cooked to perfection and very well seasoned. A bit more of the wonderful marinara sauce would have been great for the chicken parm. Service was a bit delayed as they were very busy, but our server was always wonderful, pleasant and very helpful! Overall experience truly outstanding and we are looking forward to visiting again and partaking in the full menu. Once again, I am happy to have discovered this restaurant which is partly what I enjoy restaurant week for...trying new places. I encourage you to try The Ridges as well!“

“Muy buena atención recomendado“

“Catering Party @ Sally’s Apizza Fairfield On Saturday September 13, 2025, we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The food, service and staff were phenomenal. We all know how great the pizza is, but the appetizers and salads were equally great. I can’t say enough about the wonderful servers, Dan and Brandon. There were efficient, kind, friendly and polite. They went out of their way to insure everyone was having a great time. The bartenders and other staff went a long way to help make everyone enjoy the party. I also want to thank the General Manager, James Layfield and the Catering Manager, Helen Blanchard for their exceptional service and hospitality. Sally’s Apizza @ Fairfield deserves a 5 star rating for making our event the success it was. Thanks so much“

“Met a friend here for lunch on a cold winter day. The natural light coming through the windows overlooking the nearby canal was really lovely! Food was fresh and delicious and service was friendly and prompt. Loved the chopped salad and green pea falafel! The restaurant is beautifully decorated. I imagine it might get a little noisy at dinner time, but it was very nice at lunchtime. Also, they have their own parking, which is a big plus in Stamford. I plan to return!“

“When I first entered I was sketchy about the location. The waiter that welcomed me in seemed drunk. But a family member suggested the spot so I wanted to try. Took awhile to get a waitress but once she finally came I ordered. Lots of great choices to choose from the yuca fries were great. Omg the garlic sauce they have I don't know whats in it but its amazing so flavorful. I ordered seafood with the yellow sauce. Great choice very flavorful and filling. I will be back“
