    Enjoy fresh delicious crepes at this cozy European style crêperie in Darien. Service is always warm…read moreand friendly. It's the perfect place to chill any time of the day. Savory crepes are offered Breton style using buckwheat flour. These galettes bretonnes are light and crispy with an earthly toasted flavor, the ideal counterpoint to the fillings that accompany them such as hearty European cheeses, charcuterie, tangy pickles or spicy arugula leaves. Among them, galettes Choupette (fig, arugula, prosciutto, goat cheese), Ractiflette (potato, watercress, Raclette cheese, charcuterie) and Complète Jambon (Gruyère, organic egg, country ham) are super delish and totally worth a try. Sweet crepes, made with whole wheat flour, are the soft fluffy crepes we are more familiar with around here. Personal favorites include the Traditionnelle (butter, sugar), Hugette (pear, dark chocolate, almonds) and the Amour et jalousie (Nutella, banana, strawberry). Lots of beverage options here! The coffee is great, as are their ciders and their freshly squeezed (orange or grapefruit) juices.

From Korean BBQ short ribs to a tomato, cucumber, & burrata salad to chicken scarp and seared scallops - they are doing global fusion food WELL. Masterful even. Never have had a bad dish here and the food photos I included/presentation speak for itself. The visuals match the taste here. Cocktails are also strong and delicious. Servers are attentive and friendly. I did have one negative experience here but it's more representative of the community, not the restaurant. The experience here is so great they're bound to have regulars and that is who I had my bad encounter with. I was celebrating my birthday with a group of friends who had traveled from out-of-state to visit. We were laughing a lot as we were catching up when someone who claimed to be a regular at the restaurant approached our table to ask us if we could quiet down and basically said we were being too disruptive and that even the staff/manager agreed. One of my friends was mortified and we apologized to them but also explained the special occasion; the group seemed a bit more understanding after that. When our server came to check on us next, we apologized to him too - and he looked at us confusedly. He and the staff had no issues with our party. They had no idea that someone came to even talk to us! It was just the complaint of one entitled group of regulars who thought they had the right to speak for the establishment. We would've got dessert and at least another round of drinks after our meal before leaving but because of this group, we left abruptly and the restaurant themselves apologized profusely to us for that having happened. This experience as a whole made me like Olio even more though because they didn't just take the side of their regulars over our business, which I respected them for. Again, not a bad thing to say about Olio - best food and service in Stamford.

Once we were seated, we learned that there is only one portion of duck left (two people in our group wanted it) and they are out of short rib. Then there were many issues with wine. I ordered Malbec from a specific producer and we were offered Malbec from a different producer (No, thank you). The Rioja we got was from a different vintage then on the list (this is common, I know), and nobody warned us (group of 6 people) that this was their only bottle... Anyway, the food was outstanding. Fresh bread with white bean sauce was flying off the table. Miso Soy Grilled Octopus was sublime - texture, seasoning, sauce. Fried burrata was excellent. I had seared scallops as my main course, and the whole dish was outstanding (my only gripe would be that $40 for 4 scallops is a bit (very) steep). Gnocchi were light and fluffy, something you can rarely find. Everyone was really happy with their food choices. And Bread Pudding for dessert was just perfect - creative, light and tasty. Excellent service - prompt, attentive, friendly. Recommended (May be not on Friday night? )

This has happened multiple times where people are waiting and waiting and there seems to be food ready for pick up. Here's a pic of my latest visit. My food- avocado toast is waiting and ready in the white to go box. And the lady is just talking to who looks to be her boss/owner and he's leaning back just talking to her...telling her an in depth story. Meanwhile the guys at the grill are busy making the orders. The person running the cashier is taking orders and this dope is leaning there, telling his story and she's just listening letting the food stack up. I deleted the other pic where there are a ton of orders on that table and they're just talking away....while the food is good, the customer service is poor. I timed 10 minutes where I was waiting for my food- and half of which was because this dude and chick were engrossed in some convo which prevented her from multi-tasking. Shame on him for preventing her from doing her job and not adding value. Shame on her for not excusing him to get the food out to the waiting customers...who by the way, can SEE you and our waiting food!!! The food has to be taken to the counter (as seen in the foreground of the pic)...it's not far. Low score as this happens REPEATEDLY. Step up the customer service and focus on the customer because no one likes $10.00 soggy avocado toast. Btw when not soggy, it's delicious but due to consistent poor service I haven't had non soggy in a while. As I write this, I guess the joke is on me as I keep coming back. Going to find me a new joint with better customer service. PS- when she FINALLY brings the food she brings the latest made food out, and I wait till the end. The other lady and I who were waiting (she's the bag delivery and I'm the white to go order) look at each other with the same thoughts.

So far we have tried the following - kids chicken tenders - buttermilk fried chicken sandwich - breakfast burrito - roost English muffin sandwich - Korean cheesesteak sandwich - chopped Cobb - overnight oats - lemonade - strawberry lemonade - ice chai - mermaid latte (blue matcha) - vanilla latte - power green smoothie All is really good! You will be amazed on how tasty the food is - especially paired with the hot sauce! Of everything we have tried so far on the menu - the breakfast ones are definitely the fav. Although be prepared to drop a bit of $$. And they are a cashless cafe.

    "I'll go back to the diner I'll write another letter…read moreI hope you'll read it this time" (Billie Eilish) I kind of laughed when our server brought over our menus. They were in a heavy book (reminded me of a high school yearbook) with six pages of choices plus an insert of daily specials. Post Road is the kind of diner that diner lovers dream of. Their menu is an embarrassment of riches and would seamlessly fit in alongside anything you would find on the Sunrise Highway on Long Island or on Route 17 in New Jersey. Three of us walked in around 11:30am today, and our first order of business was deciding if we'd go for lunch or breakfast food. We all went for breakfast plates- pancakes ($9.99) with a side of scrambled eggs ($2.99), GF Pancakes ($12.98), and for me a "Protein Breakfast" ($13.99) and a coffee ($3.49). So, I'm sure you're asking, "what on earth is a protein breakfast?' Well, it was four egg whites, a few gorgeous tomato slices, and a nice piece of grilled chicken. It was pretty filling and everything tasted great. Our server was efficient and professional and swiftly brought over a "to go" box for the excess of those enormous pancakes. The dining room is awesome, a real throwback to the 1950's with plenty of old-time booths, art deco neon signs, checkerboard ceramic tile, and music\entertainment\pop culture images everywhere. We really enjoyed our visit !

The diner has comfortable retro feel, but updated appropriately. I ordered Turkey & dressing w/ mashed potatoes and gravy on all of it. My appetizer choice was chicken noodle soup. I had iced tea and water, and finished w/ fantastic pecan pie alamode. My waiter was prompt to greet me, answer questions on the menu, and all the stuff a waiter should do. I really enjoyed my dinner at Post Road Diner. I would give it a 4.5 but not quite a 5.

We started with the hamachi crudo - yellowtail dressed in ponzu with blood orange segments and crispy shallots. Absolutely delicious. The roasted oysters, rich with garlic herb butter, parmesan, and panko breadcrumbs, were another standout (and this is coming from someone who usually doesn't care for oysters!). For my main dish, I had the classic lobster roll, served warm with butter, just the way I like it. It was accompanied by a massive amount of fries. You can choose your side (fries, chips or salad), and you can also order it Maine-style (as a cold lobster salad). My dad thoroughly enjoyed the miso-marinated cod, which came with white rice, mushroom broth, edamame, and pickled carrots. As always, the seafood was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. Dessert was just as impressive: a rich lemon blueberry mascarpone cake, and my favorite - a bright, zesty key lime pie. The service was top-notch - friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The owner even stopped by our table to check in, which made the evening feel even more special. If you're looking for a memorable experience with exceptional food and superb service, Rowayton Seafood delivers every time.
