    Amazing hidden gem in New Canaan. Low key, great food, fun bar scene with live music.

    Great old bar scene. Good food, good music and great atmosphere. Friendly service but hours are a little quirky.

    The perfect place to grab a delicious burger and buffalo wings. Theresa the bartender made me feel welcome. Can't wait to come back.

    Love the vibe and the staff at this place. Wish they had a few more non-meat items on the menu and I might stay for that second drink.

    Terrible management. The owner is very unprofessional. Completely fell off after the last owners…read more They need to seek some professional help if they plan on keeping that place running.

    The app says at the top that I might consider "Food", "Service", and "Ambiance" in writing this…read morereview. I would consider all of those things but that would be unfair. 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.

    I went to Tequila Mockingbird for the first time last night for dinner, and it was delicious!…read moreLocated in the heart of downtown New Canaan, this local Mexican spot looks small from the outside, but once you get inside it's actually pretty big! I had 6:30 reservations for dinner and was seated right away. To drink I ordered a margarita, which was delicious! Not too strong and tasted fresh. I read on their website that their bartenders actually attend "Tequila School" in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico, and additionally the entire staff have taken classes provided by the Mexican government. So ya, they really do know how to make the perfect margarita! For appetizers I ordered the elote (Mexican street corn with chipotle mayo and cojita cheese) and the Cowboy Queso with tortilla chips. The elote was delicious and not too spicy. The corn is still on the cob, and they give you a knife which you use to shave the kernels off. The queso was absolutely amazing, some of the best I've ever had! For my meal, I ordered the Pick 3 Combination Plate, and chose Skirt Steak tacos, chicken quesadillas, and chicken enchiladas. All were so good! The steak tacos especially were tender and delicious. I liked the combination plate because it allowed me to sample a couple different items from their menu. It also came with rice and beans. Their dessert menu is fairly small, with just the options of churros or tres leches cake. I went with the churros, which came with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, and they were drizzled with a raspberry sauce. So good! The churros were warm and I was surprised to find they actually had caramel sauce in the center (rather than on the side to dip them into). Excellent! The service was extremely fast considering it was fairly busy when I went. The waiter, Roberto, was very friendly and funny. Even the manager came over twice to ask how everything was. I would absolutely recommend this spot if you're looking for some delicious Mexican cuisine!

    I would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves cozy ambiance & amazing food. Our waitress…read moreAmanda was awesome, we hardly even had to wait for our food and drinks. I'd highly recommend the cowboy queso
