Driven by this place for years and thought it was a farm stand/garden center. Finally tried it. Will be back soon! Great brunch and lunch entrees. Haven't tried dinner yet but loved what I experienced. Try the Terrain breakfast and the Dill Bloody Mary is truly unique..

This Prix Fixe Christmas lunch was one of the best meals my husband and I have EVER had. The Amuse roast chestnut latte with vanilla foam topping was unbelievably delicious. I will try to replicate it. The raw bar selection was next - so fresh, so delicious, especially the oysters. My husband ordered the ample NY steak, cooked as ordered, enough that we had left over for breakfast today. I had the crusted salmon in a cauliflower risotto. Finally the best English Christmas pudding ever, and I am English. Fruity, moist and the light glacé sauce completed our meal. Truly outstanding service from Oumo and all the staff who were efficient, timely and patient.

Love this place! There’s nothing in Fairfield nearly as vibe-y and cool with great food and drinks at affordable prices. Here’s what I loved: hand-crafted cocktails (I had the Tropic Morning News), my prime rib plate for $25, welcoming unpretentious service, and the vinyl playing in the background. Don’t sleep on this spot for your next time out.
