Best Fine Dining Restaurants in Darien

I typically write about the food after my dining experiences however, this is an exception to the norm. Anne Marie was our server and was the most professional, energetic, menu knowledgeable person that we EVER had the pleasure encountering in all of our USA dining experiences. I write this as a retired traveling association executive who has literally dined in thousands of restaurants throughout the country. Anne Marie paved the way for a fabulous dinner which included a delicious beet salad and a really hard to beat barrel cut filet mignon. The RG is truly a hidden gem where you dine in a private house which has a “I feel like I’m dining in someone’s really nice house” vibe. It is also located right next door (one minute walk) to fantastic/professional live theater venues. All this combined gives you an experience you won’t soon forget.

We like La Plage. Great for date night, but can get a bit loud if your table ends up next to a larger group. Service was excellent. I had the filet and my lovely and brilliant wife had the branzino, both prepared beautifully. They seem to have solved the heating problem in the outdoor transitional space.

Always our go to date night spot - we come here about once a month. We love the staff and love the chef’s counter .

Enjoyed our time! Our server was super courteous and the food was tasty. When in town hope to return!

Always a favorite of ours for a lighter meal of tapas or a full dinner. We had mussels and baked goat cheese in tomato sauce.
