The best dining experience I have had in a LONG time. The vibe of the restaurant is stylish yet comfortable, the waitstaff was knowledgeable, friendly, and on-point. But the food... out of this world. We split lemongrass mussels for an appetizer - more than enough for two, where my date asked for a spoon for the broth. The entrees were halibut and salmon special, the salmon came with a smoked rouge sauce that was hands down the best sauce to go with fish I've ever had. My date cleaned her plate of the halibut and said the combination of flavors on her plate was divine! I had goat cheesecake and we split the apple tart for dessert - both absolute winners. And the coffee was locally roasted, super fresh, and the perfect way to end the meal!! The chef also came out to say hello and ask how everything was! Can't wait to go back!!

Every time I eat at 20 Markle Court I think it can't get any better. And I am always wrong! The ambiance and decor are outstanding, and even though it gets crowded it is not excessively noisy. Good acoustics! Everyone who works there is so friendly, helpful and professional. You can feel like you are dining with family. And the food? Daye is a master. Tried the new shrimp ravioli and cannot wait to have them again! The curry mussels are my absolute favorite, and the goat cheesecake is heaven. All the food is outstanding. You can taste the love. And the best espresso martini in Fairfield County! Do not miss this absolute gem! Award winning for a reason!

Service and food were excellent. We enjoyed many of the appetizers, drinks, full entrees and desserts and all were very, very good. Portions were small, but filling, but overall it was more pricey than we were expecting. However, the food was delicous and the staff super inviting, warm and friendly.
