50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Darien

“The only place I will go to get authentic Filipino food! Every menu item feels like home! My favorites are the pancit, afritada, bistek, & sinampalukan. Never ate anything that I didn’t like! The catering menu, pricing, and portions never disappoint. I drive 30-45minutes just for this place. So worth it!“

“I love noodles. I have ordered every pan fried, steamed, chow fun, mei fun, lo mein from just about every Chinese place in the DG, westmont, Woodridge, Willowbrook, Darien area. The common denominator for most of the places is how they love dumping a ton of onions in the dish with some noodles, a little bit of meat and a scant amount of other veggies. I spend more time picking the creepy little (sometimes not so little) chunks of the filler out than actually eating my precious noodles. Darien Chop Suey gives me none of the little buggers! I always order the pad see eiw and not only are there piles of glorious noodles, but they never skimp on the meat or veggies! Beautiful broccoli and mushrooms and not an onion in sight! It's so yummy. The hubs loves the sesame chicken. The egg rolls are plump and the egg drop soup is divine. Plus, they are the most affordable place in the area! Dang when did Chinese food get so expensive? Very reasonable here though. Super nice on the phone and we've ordered like a dozen times and it's always ready in twenty minutes or so. This is my favorite Chinese place. Darien Chop Suey, more like Darien Chop Yummy fo rizz!!!!“

“I celebrated my birthday at Eddie V's and was blown away by the exceptional service and cuisine. Despite being a last-minute reservation, the staff made me feel like a VIP, presenting a heartfelt, staff-signed card that added a touching personal touch.

As they just opened in November!“

I always get a side of the veggies to eat as another meal. The hard boiled eggs in butter, again with all the seasonings, are good as well.“

“This is a new establishment; it is very nice inside; it was worth the wait! The proprietors greeted me as soon as I came in and I didn't have to wait to order. I was impressed with the tv that showed how things were prepared; looked scrumptious! I got the catfish dinner for my parents and they too were pleased.“

“We dined at Seasons 52 after the Easter Brunch had concluded. While the restaurant was really crowded, we were seated within 10-15 minutes of our reservation time. Our server was friendly and attentive, as well as helpful in making suggestions about menu items. We enjoyed the shrimp flatbread and crab stuffed mushrooms as appetizers. My husband's Chilean sea bass and my wood grilled salmon were both perfectly prepared. In addition to the sides which accompanied each of our meals, we shared the Brussels sprouts. Our meal was capped off with a flight of six desserts which we took home .“

“Thanks to Azzy & Alejandro for making our dinner so enjoyable. The food was delicious (I had the fish tacos & my husband had the pork chop) - service was excellent. The night before was busy & loud and Azzy saw us come in right away - seated us in a quieter space & brought us exactly what we needed - good food, a glass of wine & a Guinness from the tap. Perfect.

Also, during our 3 day stay at the hotel - every breakfast was delicious and served by such caring, nice people. Easier to get the day started with service like that.

We will be back for sure.“

“The food here is FANTASTIC. We ordered the stuffed banana peppers, coconut shrimp, salmon that’s on corn tamale cake (oh my goodness), seafood linguine, and lobster mac n cheese. We were both really impressed with how delicious all of the food was. Our waiter Jorge was so kind and attentive. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended.“

Great job!“

You only thought you might need something at the table and it would appear out of no where. The food was all home made and you could tell made from traditional old recipes and a lot of love thrown in. You feel like you are in a small cafe in Italy.
