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. For lunch we ordered the El Niño Grilled Salmon Wrap with citrus tartar sauce, lettuce, and tomato in a flour wrap, and the Buffalo Chicken Wrap with lettuce, red onion, and bleu cheese. 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.

We absolutely loved everything about it. Might even go back again today! We were staying on a boat at Safe Harbor Yacht Haven and it was an easy walk. Here's what we tried: Clam Chowder - As thick as I've ever had and very good. Mussels - White wine broth and very good, but maybe a little sand in some of them. Goat Cheese Quesadilla - Excellent French Dip - Excellent Fish and Chips - Very good Service was as good as it gets, prices were reasonable. This place checks off every box for casual fun dining. Loved it!

There was a event which is great but everyone seem preoccupied for the event. Perhaps they should have closed for the event. The patio was closed for event. This made us very sad...wish we could have just taken a pic. -French onion soup- was way too salty -Cali burger- small but delish. I think they use gauc and not just plain avocado. But it was excellent. -Steak sandwich...dry and flavorless and didnt look like what jungkook and jimin ate on the show. -Fries- wasnt hot and was mid. I feel like none of the food was hot though. Maybe just the soup. We could have stopped by again on our way to NYC but ...we didnt. There was a friendly doodle that was the highlight of this visit. Was so cute. Oh and prayers to Jen and her family

The burger had no Jack Daniel's glaze, the onion straws were cold, and there was barely any cheese. To top it off the fries were stone cold. After my food was delivered the bartender never once stopped back to ask how the food was. He was too busy on his phone and chatting with friends at the other end of the small bar. When he finally came over I informed him the fries were stone cold, burger already was eaten. He said I can make you some new fries. Sorry bub, you had plenty of time to check on me and my food but felt my experience didn't matter. Then he proceeded to charge me full price for the burger and cold fries. Don't waste your time visiting this place. Unless you want cold fries and subpar food and service.

I tried Greer's Famous Buttermilk Fried Chicken 4 pieces, 1 each of breast, thigh, wing, and…read moredrumstick, cornbread and sorghum honey butter, cole slaw, and I chose mac & cheese as my side. The chicken was the highlight, crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and really well seasoned. You can tell it was freshly made. The cornbread was also really good, soft, warm, slightly sweet, and even better with the sorghum honey butter. The mac & cheese was great. it was rich, creamy, and felt homemade in the best way. I'm not usually a fan of cole slaw, and this one was a bit watery, I should have asked if I could swap it out. The desserts were a highlight too, the peach empanada was nice and warm, buttery, paired perfectly with the ice cream and icing, and the banana pudding was smooth, classic, and comforting with the nilla wafer crumble and fresh banana. Even my starter arugula lemon vinaigrette salad was delicious. Service was excellent and attentive, and the ambiance is definitely upscale and stylish. Overall, it's on the pricier side, but that feels expected for the quality and setting.

The dining room at the new location is fantastic. Open and bright. Much better than the older location down by the aquarium, which is now a new Jamaican restaurant. The place was crazy busy for Mother's Day. We arrived early, but the kitchen was instantly overwhelmed. It took over an hour to get our entrees. Not really all so bad since we got to spend extra time with our dear mother, and the food was exceptional when it finally arrived. I recommend going at a time that isn't quite so busy for a better experience.

They had such fun cocktails--we all ordered different ones to try, and none of them disappointed. The food was 10/10 and the service was impeccable. We shared the fried mushrooms, spicy rigatoni, and tuna tartare as appetizers- all beyond good. For entrées, we ordered the short rib, pork chop, duck, scallops, and tagliatelle pasta and every dish impressed us. Kyle was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and gave amazing recommendations. Such a great experience--we will definitely be returning!!

Very disappointing experience. We were seated next to an extremely loud and disruptive table that…read morecompletely ruined our evening. What was most frustrating was the complete lack of management oversight--both the waitress and manager clearly saw what was happening, yet neither took any meaningful action. No attempt was made to address the disruptive guests, relocate us, or even acknowledge the situation with an apology. This level of inattentiveness and disregard for guest experience reflects very poorly on the service standards. The food was ok, but it wasn't nearly good enough to justify the high prices or make up for the poor service and lack of concern for our dining experience. We will not be returning, nor will we ever recommend.

Food was fresh, great flavor with good hot sauces on the side. Plenty of wine by the glass choices, as well as great margaritas with classic, and relatively inexpensive silver tequila (as it should be). Encourage anyone to stop in, check it out, order drinks and/or food, you'll be glad you did. This place will be popular come springtime and warmer weather, given their outdoor space. Looking forward to many more visits.
