It felt chic with black linens and tea ligt candles on each table. They had light music playing. I truly enjoyed the ambiance. The bar manager and the bartender were extremely attentive. Introducing themselves and checking on us often. We had the Pastel which are empanadas. We tried the beef, chicken with cheese and cheese only. My favorite was the beef along with the tasty srichacha mayo sauce it came with. We also had the steak tacos. The meat was scrumptious. The bar manager suggested the Strawberry Passionfruit Mojito which was divine. Finally, we had the flan for dessert. It was so creamy and delectable. We went for happy hour and the price could not be beaten. Everything tasted delicious, had quality ingredients and was plated nicely. The customer service was spectacular. I could become a regular here.

From my understanding, it is a Christmas "pop-up" called Miracle. Since we just showed up without reservations, we sat at the bar, which was totally fine with us. The bartenders were very nice and offered up some recommendations. It turned out, my friend had gone to a Miracle pop-up at another bar weeks before, but hadn't realized it. The space is cozy and was very nicely decorated. I ordered an espresso martini off of their regular menu and my friend ordered the Candy Cane Lane. We didn't order food since we had dinner plans after. Our bill was $37.00, plus the $6 we left for a tip. For two cocktails that were good, but not fantastic, that is a little steep in my opinion. If we each had a second cocktail, it would have been close to $100. It's a bar in Newtown, not the casino. Would I go back? I would, just not during the holidays, and maybe a special occasion.

We were meeting friends from Norwalk so decided to go closer to them and try Fairfield which was a totally different experience. Tableside guac was solid to start. Burrito was good, but my yucca fries had no seasoning and should have had a better dipping sauce than ketchup. One of our favorite things last time was the smoked black salt rim on the Tropicale margarita. Our first round had regular salt. Second round we asked for the black salt which they did but it wasn't smoked. Fried ice cream wasn't fresh, it had been fried in advance, so the outside wasn't warm or crispy. Ultimately we ate it all. It was good but for the price (with tax and tip over $400) I'd expect something with higher execution.

My wife and I took our kids (10 and 16 year old boys) to this place on our last evening in NYC. We…read morewere looking for a place that had a nice ambiance and good food. Ambiance: This place has a nice ambiance, definitely very "New York" -- dark (you can't see how dirty the floor is) and loud music (maybe too loud). We sat upstairs (we had a reservation) and of all the people on the top there was a party of 4 (us), a party of 8 (all dudes celebrating something) and the rest of the tables were on a DATE - which I thought was funny. Service: We were served by Ann-Marie who was so delightful. She was kind, super nice, and took the time to speak to us (which is basically how we figured out she wasn't a native New York City person). She gave us good food suggestions and we were very happy with our selection. Food: Here is what we ordered * Steak Frites: My two boys got the steak frites and I have to say the steak was awesome! I had a bite of each of theirs and they each ordered it differently (one Medium Rare/Medium and one Medium) and they both were prepared PERFECTLY. The fries were overflowing. * Caeser Salad with Salmon: My wife got the salad with Salmon (they only have a few salad options) and she enjoyed it. * Prawn and Crab Risotto: I got this and I have to say it was VERY bland. I wouldn't get this if you are looking for taste. I had to put salt and pepper on it to make it have any semblance of taste. Value/Price: I would say this is not over priced but it is not cheap either...bill is attached. I would recommend it to folks who are looking for a good place to either go out on a date or a family type meal.

It's better than it needs to be, which in this neighborhood counts for a lot. The room is the star. Brass, smoked mirrors, marble, wallpaper with burlesque dancers, very Gatsby cosplay but done with actual money. Think the Campbell at Grand Central, minus the $28 martini attitude. It's also LOUD downstairs. Ask for upstairs if you want to hear your date. Gin is the program here and they take it seriously, house-infused bottles paired with specific tonics, not an afterthought. My G&T was legitimately well built. Food from chef JC Colón is better than cocktail-bar standard: truffle fries in duck fat are worth it, the lobster mac at $31 is rich and fine but you've had it before. Skip dessert. The steak frites at $48 is where I'd tap out, that's real-restaurant money for bar food execution. Here's the move though: weekday happy hour, 4 to 7. Dollar oysters and $13 cocktails in a room this pretty is one of the best deals in Midtown, full stop. Service was warm and fast even slammed. Not a destination, but if you're near Bryant Park or seeing a show, this beats everything else within five blocks. Book ahead, walk-ins were getting turned away by 5:30.

It was delicious! This time, I reserved a table for four, including guests who were up to an adventurous evening. The place was hopping! A Friday evening fun atmosphere and a beautiful bar that reminded me of a Paris restaurant. We were seated at a great table with banquettes in a corner of the front dining room. Our waitperson was excellent- energetic, informed of the menu, friendly & interactive, I believe her name was Shamira. We received great recommendations for dishes on the menu accommodating certain preferences. Following Cocktails - from the usual order of Scotch, to the " Crimson" spicy, indeed. The "Wanderer" imbiber said she could sip them all night. I, being mostly just a wine drinker, ordered from the "unusual wines" - a delicious white wine from Languedoc named "Picpoul De Pinet, Feline Jourdan", which paired very well with both courses. Based on my enthusiasm we all shared a bottle with our Main Course! Total alignment. We shared Caesar salads, which were excellent. Everyone enjoyed their selection of a main course: Halibut with corn risotto, Shrimp & Grits with spicy red sauce (just right spicy), My dish was Mussels in ginger & lemongrass red Curry, paired with grilled bread for soaking up that sauce, Yum!; a Whole Red Snapper with Mole sauce for my husband - most adventurous diner of the evening! We stretched ourselves to order two desserts: Crème Brûlée and Goat Cheesecake! Sublime. On departing the Restaurant, we were thanked for dining by the Proprietor, Wesley. We had an inspiring conversation about Bridgeport's future. A memorable evening.

Barcelona was good, it has the potential to be great!…read more I've dined here a few times and every time the service is fantastic. The severs are attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The general manager came around to introduce themselves and personally ask how the meal is and if they can be of any service which is always a very nice touch. The ambiance has a moody wine bar feel to the front half of the space and the main dining rooms are located in the back. Very nice and inviting. However the dining rooms are pretty packed with tables so it tends to get very loud. The food is good but often times inconsistent. For example the lamb chop I have had in the past was delicious, and during this visit it was lacking flavor. The meatballs were not my favorite in a previous visit but this most recent time they were absolutely delicious. Also pictured is the chicken thigh, and pork belly. The chicken thigh was plain but I think that's the point, it was cooked great. The pork belly was very yummy, I loved the lime/cilantro sauce it came with. We also ordered the half size parrillada done medium well. Aspects of this dish were good like the steak, others like the chicken and the chorizo were juicy and soo delicious. The pork chop lacked flavor and was very tough. The leeks were very tasty and the croquettes are always good! I am sure I will be back to Barcelona soon. I'm excited to explore their large selection of charcuteries!

My experience with this restaurant was so consistently unpleasant that I would not return under any…read morecircumstances. We first attempted to dine here several years ago after making a reservation. Upon arrival, the parking lot was packed and chaotic, with numerous drivers seemingly unable to navigate the lot in an orderly manner. Rather than deal with the situation, we left and went somewhere else. Fast-forward to August 18, 2026. We were invited to a group prix-fixe dinner here, so avoiding the restaurant was not really an option. Unfortunately, the evening confirmed that our first decision to leave had been the correct one. I arrived at approximately 6:00 p.m. and pulled into the only available parking space. Another patron immediately began aggressively honking his horn. After I parked and got out, I asked what his problem was. He said he was concerned I was going to hit his vehicle, notwithstanding the fact that I was parked approximately four feet away from it. Another person then inserted herself into an interaction that did not involve her. I addressed that and moved on. I will leave the commentary about the clientele there, except to say that the atmosphere outside the restaurant was an unpleasant preview of the evening. The restaurant itself is apparently regarded as acclaimed. Based on what I was served, I cannot understand why. The opening meat and cheese board appeared dried out, as though it had been sitting uncovered for an extended period. The olives were submerged in what tasted indistinguishable from jarred giardiniera-style pickled vegetables. If the preparation was house-made, it nevertheless replicated the flavor and texture of a commercial jarred product remarkably well. The olives themselves were poor. Next came a fried cheese-filled ball that was extraordinarily greasy, to the point that oil was visibly running onto the plate. It was unpleasant to eat. The lettuce course again incorporated what appeared to be the same giardiniera-style pickled vegetables, adding little beyond repetition. The main course was paella with clams, shrimp, and baby octopus. The clams were overcooked. The shrimp tasted, in my opinion, as though they should never have been served. The rice was dry and crusted rather than properly cooked and integrated into the dish. A separate carving board was no better. The chicken was among the driest I have ever been served. The sausage was overcooked. The steak was both greasy and overcooked. There was no point during the main course at which I thought the food approached the reputation this restaurant apparently enjoys. I have eaten at many restaurants in Fairfield, and this was, without qualification, the worst meal I have personally had here. A restaurant that trades on an acclaimed reputation should be capable of executing basic food preparation competently. On August 18, 2026, this restaurant did not. The food was dry, greasy, overcooked, repetitive, and deeply disappointing from beginning to end. The worst part of the evening if all that was experienced, wasn't bad enough; was at the room was filled with flies that were buzzing all around that you had to wave away from the food while you were trying to eat. One star. Based strictly on my experience, even that feels generous.
