★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1I’ve been to this restaurant twice now, once on Valentine’s Day and again for my birthday, and both times were amazing. The atmosphere is beautiful and feels really special, perfect for celebrating. The staff is so kind and attentive, they truly make you feel taken care of.The food is top class with so many options, and everything I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious. You can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. This place has become one of my favorites and I’m already looking forward to going back again.
August 16 · Ryan VorfiThis is so much better than downtown. You can park your car within a minute of where you're going. You walk into a beautifully decorated room with comfortable chairs and tablecloths and polished glasses. Within a minute Aladdin, the maitre d' will have you sitting comfortably with a drink.My guests have the swordfish, fresh with garden vegetables... I chose the special, the branzino, cooked perfectly on a bed of asparagus and lightly mashed potatoes.Try this restaurant. It's a fair bet that it will become a regular haunt.
October 09 · BARRY DRAYSONI went to this place by myself about 6:30 PM on a Friday night. When I walked in, there was hardly anyone there, except for a few people at the bar, who seemed like they were having a good time. I was seated at a table, and immediately noticed how elegant the place was. They brought me some homemade potato chips, and my cocktail, while I scanned the menu. I placed my order starting with the Tuna Tartarre, then followed that with a Caesar Salad, and went with the Seafood Pasta as my main dish.The tuna was really, really delicious. Served with their homemade potato chips (same as the ones put on my table when I sat down). The salty bite is a nice accompaniment to the tuna. Really delicious appetizer. The salad was next and it was quite outstanding: creamy, delicious, crunchy croutons, and very fresh romaine lettuce. At this point I'd like to mention that the service was impeccable. Really attentive and dresssed very nicely. Everything about the meal so far was wonderful.Next came the main course, the Seafood Pasta. And I have to say, when they set it before me, I was a little under-whelmed. For a $48 price tag, I thought it would be bigger with lots more seafood. My dish had one shrimp, 5 clams, and a few calamari rings and I don't think there was any lobster. If there was lobster, it was such an insignificant amount, that I couldn't detect it. But, overall, the flavor of the dish was good, and I finished every bite.That being said, I enjoyed the restaurant very much. I wonder why there was no one there? If it's because it's set in a strip mall, perhaps, and people don't think a nice restaurant could exist in a strip mall... Well, then let that go people, this place is really nice. And I can't say enough about how elegant it was with perfect service. I might not order the Seafood Pasta again, but I would not hesitate to go back. Perhaps I'll go with a steak next time.
September 10 · J. Brian MitchellWe went here with 3 generations and lots of different food preferences and we all loved our food. The service was wonderful. Anytime the water glass got low they were there to fill it up. It is a family owned restaurant and we wish them much success.
August 24 · Lorrie FAbsolutely amazing. We’ve lived in Stamford for 5 years and I am so sad we just discovered this gem. The food, the service, the atmosphere is perfection. We got the surf and turf, special ribeye, Mac and cheese, tuna tartare, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and surprise desserts. Johnny was PHENOMENAL. Surprised us with desserts and took great care of us. Don’t snooze on the tiramisu, chocolate lava cake, and creme brûlée. One of the best spots in Stamford. Highly recommend.
