“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our first time at Julian’s Pizza Kitchen in Westport and it was an amazing experience! The restaurant was spotless and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Our waiter was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. My family and I ordered Julian’s pizza, and it was absolutely fresh, hot, and delicious every bite was yummy. The hospitality truly stood out and made the whole experience even better. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great pizza and outstanding service!“

“Review of Arezzo Ristorante

We chose Arezzo Ristorante in Westport as the site of a baby shower December 6.

Vinicio and his staff could not have been any more pleasant, helpful and efficient.

The 2 salads and 5 entrees were delicious. Almost every guest complimented the food, service and staff.

We enjoyed this day immensely. I would recommend Arezzo to anyone who sought🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 fine dining and exceptional catering.

Thank you Vinicio, Esteban and the rest of the staff!!

“My husband can’t get enough of this place. Great vibe to socialize with friends. As well as make new ones. Alan knows how to make a killer cocktail.“

“Hockey season is back and I’m back for all the food and drinks!

Elliot & Angel are so kind, super friendly and professional. I enjoy talking to them when they’re not super busy and they’re always serving amazing food and slinging awesome drinks (beers, cocktails and mocktails).

I enjoy their breakfast. Eggs are cooked to perfection. Their breakfast bowl I had was awesome. I don’t like my food touching so I asked for everything to be individually served. The tots were crispy, chili is awesome! Usually the breakfast bowl is all of the above layered in a bowl. Get it! You won’t be sorry.

The breakfast burrito is pretty hearty. It has eggs, cheese and potatoes wrapped in a flour tortilla. I’ve had their breakfast sandwich on a hard roll and it’s probably one of the best breakfast sandwich (egg, cheese, bacon) I’ve ever had.

For lunch and dinner they have many options since it’s a bar & grill. I personally love their chicken Caesar salad (you can get it in a wrap too). The chicken is so moist and seasoned to perfection and grilled nicely. My son practices here three times a week so he grabs dinner to eat in the car and he enjoys the kids menu options.

They’re located on the second floor of SoNo Ice House. Ambiance is a chill vibe with music loud enough to hear but you can still hear your friends during conversations. The tables are seated by the window so you can see your kid(s) play/practice. It’s clean. Has a full bar, full kitchen and booth seating as well. They also have a private party room for rent and they’ll cater it as well. So many great things to say about this establishment.“

“Great food, atmosphere and waitstaff❤️“

“Because it is the ‘shoe!!“

“Its a great place to watch sports and Tony is a awesome person“

“Really great service and good food!“

“By far the best in town I been here like 6 times food is amazing drinks are amazing servers are all attentive very helpful with the menu on explaining what they have and what’s the best to get. I never had a bad experience when I come. Servers also aren’t annoying like other restaurants they don’t come by while you’re eating which is great they always wait when you’re done to come and ask how is everything I hate when a server always comes by to disturb so this is something that stood with me. If you’re planning on coming here don’t second guess it just go.“

“grew up there as a child above the bar I remember Jim and Ernie it will always be my hometown bar I used to break the boxes down for Ernie to pick up the trash early in the morning I think I was eight back then maybe nine for the history I could tell you“

“Great food, cocktails and ambience. Will definitely be back. A big step above most pub food. The selection of sliders alone was impressive. We also had the Brussels sprouts and steak and really enjoyed it all. The S.o.b cocktail was perfect. Plenty of parking in back and the staff is great and knows their stuff.“

“I love this place, everyone is so friendly and welcoming to EVERYONE I recommend highly to chill with friends or make new ones on a scale from 1 to 10 a 25 for sure“

“Very tasty food, good portions, and superior menu offerings. Attentive and friendly service, and a nice selection of drinks.“

“314 Beer Garden was amazing for my 40th high school reunion. Jackie worked with me on a layout and prices that were amazing. George was there to oversee the food that we had ordered and was extremely attentive. The bartenders that we had that night in our area were amazing and personable. And last, but not least the kitchen staff pumped out great food which everybody enjoyed. The fire was roaring and the band was amazing. 10 out of 10 would recommend!“

“Always an amazing experience very friendly staff ❤️“

“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.“

“Cherry Street East is a wonderful spot for classic American food. They serve generous portions that are hearty and satisfying, and every dish feels made with care. The flavors are spot on, making it the perfect place whether you’re hungry for a casual bite or a full meal. What stood out most was the owner—so kind and genuinely welcoming—that made the whole experience feel like visiting a friend’s home. A place I’ll definitely be coming back to again and again!“

“We’d flown across the continent from Vancouver to New York, and drove up from Midtown to New Canaan to see something quieter. The moment we parked on Elm Street, it felt like the right destination. The name might belong to old horror movies, but the street was nothing but calm. My wife called it “cute” about a thousand times, and she wasn’t wrong.

We walked the shops, stepped in and out of small storefronts, and followed a narrow back alley when hunger finally caught up with us. That’s how we found Back End — tucked away, sunny, and exactly where it needed to be. The November air was cold, but the day had a clear sky that made everything feel sharp and clean.

Service was friendly and quick. The room had an easy rhythm — warm decor, high stools, tight tables. A space used well. Fun without being loud, relaxed without slowing down. Sometimes you stumble onto a place that matches your mood perfectly. This was one of those.

We shared tacos, Nonna's meatballs, and chicken dumplings. Every plate landed. Simple dishes done right, seasoned with confidence. Nothing heavy, nothing forced — the kind of food that keeps a conversation moving and a day on track.

Back End fit the afternoon. A hidden spot in a quiet town, found by accident on a long trip. The kind of place you remember because it met you exactly where you were.“

“A really nice restaurant with a great vibe. They have outdoor, indoor and bar seating. We ordered several appetizers: octopus, calamari, fried smelts and some sort of feta cheese party. All of it was delicious. For our entrees I had the 20 oz. Robert served with mushrooms, we also had a beet salad as well as a Chicken kabob. The food was really good. The service was excellent as well. We will definitely come back to try other items“

“Always a fun time with great friends!“

“I am a pizza nut. This place is legit. Love their pies and love their salads. Definitely one of the best in the county.“

“Friday’s is the best. Great DJ and awesome people.“

“Everything we tried was full of flavor and clearly made with care. I ordered both the fish sandwich and the fish tacos, and each one was fresh, tasty, and satisfying. Being able to enjoy the meal right by the water made the experience even better and added a relaxed, laid-back vibe. The staff were welcoming and pleasant, which really added to the overall enjoyment. It was also nice to learn that they offer a cash discount and have a menu option specifically for seniors. All around, it was a great place to enjoy good food in a friendly, scenic setting.“

“Good Sushi. Fast polite service“

“Great place for dining and drinks, especially when you compare it to the other establishments in the area. The best quality is the service, which is surprisingly pristine considering how busy this place gets, especially during happy hour. The place can be packed to the brim with people, and you will still get served quickly without diminishing the quality of the food/drinks. You can watch the bartenders make the drinks in front of you, and they serve you within minutes without cutting corners, before moving onto the next person. I’ve seen places half as busy, take twice as long to serve their patrons.“

“Really enjoyed our first time there. Can’t wait to come back and try more food!!!“

“Great food at reasonable prices plus great service!“

“Without a doubt the best Mexican food in the area and one of our favorite spots in town. Everything on the menu is good but highly recommend going with whatever the specials of the night are. Cocktails are also excellent (especially the margaritas).“

“Great food, guacamole and tasty margaritas! Very friendly staff!!!“

“Great… just like it’s been for going on 50 years!!“
