Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Fairfield

A great vibe, happy people and delicious food. We sat with four people at a table that seemed to be for 10, we kept thinking other people would be seated with us but that did not happen. It's very loud and a little challenging if you have a hearing issue. Service was a bit slower than expected for the prices. Will definitely be back.

Excellent service and delicious fare. We had the crab cake and calamari apps, followed by the lamb chops, hanger steak, and lobster ravioli. All were prepared well and portions were generous. The by the glass wine choices could have been a little wider but we went when the corkage fee was waived so no complaints. Our server was friendly, efficient and professional. We'll be back!

Outstanding Service, lovely food and charming atmosphere. Burgers, truffle fries, Desert Board and Gingerbread Chai Latte were very tasty. We were seated outside under heaters which was perfect thanks to good weather. They offered Seasonal Cocktails and they were passing hors d'oeuvres while we were waiting to be seated. This cafe is situated in Terrain and it was so beautifully decorated for Christmas including a snow machine. This was my 2nd visit and Restaurant staff are excellent.

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

The ambient soundtrack, not heavy metal or rap but I caught Jon Bon Jovi in ther, tells you something about this restaurant’s schizophrenic identity. The menu is almost excessively wide-ranging, from wings to lobster, in an sattempt to appeal to all comers, yet the prices invite a somewhat higher-incomed clientele. The interior is hardscaped, with no sound-absorbing fabric in sight(except the napkins) amidst the poured flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows and granite tabletops. The service was accomodating but slow at obvious transition points in the progression of the meal. Our order: appetizer of calamari was plentiful, oddly(for me) sprinkled with gorgonzola and drizzled with balsamic but delicious; an ahi tuna salad ( beautifully presented) and a clam and bacon flatbread that seemed a bit overdone/crispy. Two proseccos, a glass of pinot grigio and a bill of $120…. I want to try this location on a summer evening when there’s outdoor dining and enough light to enjoy the harborviews. Otherwise, it is not a top choice in several categories
