So for the first time, Gelatissimo was a bust and it wasn't only my 2 flavors but the stud muff's…read moreas well which were different from mine. Went there on a beautiful day, a perfect day for ice cream. Going in here is a huge hike for us being that we live 40 miles away. It's always a highlight to go, and we always order large cups when we go. Keep in mind this place is not a bargain, you generally get what you pay for and this place has always been worth it except for this trip. And with all my excitement, I neglected to see how much gelato was left for one of the flavors I ordered, and it was the bottom of the barrel-instead of the young gentleman talking me out of the flavor, he gingerly scraped up with all his might whatever was left in the bottom, then proceeded to ask me if I wanted a flavor that was similar to it... Shame on me I said no, and he proceeded to give me the other flavor I had asked for which is a chocolate brownie. As he scooped, I said you know what give me some of the cappuccino please-he huffed and puffed and arrogantly told me he could no longer do it... Why? You've only done a couple scoops of chocolate what's the big deal. Asking him a question it was like I was asking him a life ending favor. He then huffed as he took my husband's order. As we both ate our ice creams we were very mystified that it was lacking the flavors that it once had. True, we both had tried new flavors that we never had before, but it didn't have the same texture and it was overly sweet. Secondly, my husband got their waffle cone. Now let's talk about how the boy neglectfully scooped that waffle cone... He didn't put any ice cream in the cone only slapped a ball on top - that was it. The ice creams came out to $16 and honestly the waffle cone was flavorless! My husband wound up throwing it away as it probably was one of the worst waffle clones he's ever had. Maybe we need a break but we definitely need a break from that young gentleman who took our order... He needs a little polish refresher course on how to be a little more cordial and Little accommodating. Thank God for the tip cup! As for the parking, it's hell, absolutely satanic but that is not reflective of the rating. You are at the mercy of street parking and not easy to find.

Because I didn't experience any of them. I've lived in the next town for almost eight years. In that time I've eaten at the New Canaan Diner AT LEAST 100 times. This night was not special; just looking for a late night hamburger. It's Friday night, May 9. It's raining. The sign in the window says that they are open until 9 pm. I walked in at 8:40 pm. Ok, a little late, but I just wanted a hamburger. More than half of the tables were filled. All of the seats at the counter were filled. People were eating. All good signs. The waiter said, "We're closed," and immediately turned his back to me. Not "Sorry, we're closed." Just "We're closed," and I got his back. I looked around the room at all the people eating and said to one of the other waitstaff, "You're closed?" She looked embarrassed and said, "Well, the kitchen is closed...." She seemed to understand that her colleague's behavior was inappropriate in a retail eating establishment. He shouldn't leave this job to be a greeter at Walmart. He would be bad at that. I nodded and walked out. I'm having Japanese food across the street. I really didn't want Japanese food for dinner, but the food is always good at Hama and the hospitality is always superior. All the chefs at the sushi bar bow and say "thank you" as I leave. I'm sure that their gratitude is not deeply sincere, but it beats "We're closed" followed by an abrupt about-face. The diner is dead to me. At least for a while.

The kale salad is outstanding. The veggie burger is massive and delicious. On one occasion I had a pasta (I think it was cacio e pepe), and it wasn't anything special. My friend had the duck bao and loved it. For dessert we had the layered carrot cake and the chocolate cremeux...to die for. I love the comfy interior, soft lighting, modern design. And I've been very happy with the service - on our first visit during summer we had an outdoor reservation, shortly after sitting down it became too buggy and they happily found us a spot inside, we really appreciated that. Just don't be late as they have a 5 minute grace period and you'll be charged per person for a missed reservation.

The service was friendly and attentive, and the food was very good. We started with the Cajun Popcorn Shrimp with chipotle dipping sauce, which had a nice kick and was perfectly cooked.

Both wraps were fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Overall, a solid lunch with great service and consistently good food. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in New Canaan. 4 stars.

I…read moream generally very supportive of the service sector but after 2 visits in past month, it is time to call them out. Service is dreadfully slow. I was at breakfast with 3 other people. I asked for scrambled eggs with a side of whole wheat toast! I said no salad please. I got the eggs, no salad with 2 slabs of dry bread that did not resemble toast. I am pretty sure toast is not a delicacy! It involves a small amount of work, whole wheat bread, a toaster and then delivery on a plate. It seems as if getting Water is extra service so I was happy to get that served just to me. I gave up on the toast as I consumed my eggs and rolled the dice! I asked for an almost croissant, something they almost always have. My party was not finished with breakfast and I just wanted the croissant with my coffee. We all sat a bit longer while I thought for sure my croissant would come and then the waitress came by over 10 minutes after I ordered it to tell me they had no almost croissants (it was only 9:30 am....i guess a run on almost croissants in town) but I could have a chocolate one! I said no thanks. This place has a large footprint. There is room to do so much better here. I guess Rosie's was closed on Monday. This is a sleepy place with subpar service and if this pace of service continues, Le Pan will disappear and not be missed
