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.

Much deserved place for a terrific lunch…read more My colleague and I stopped here for a quick bite to eat. I was told it's a good place to grab and go for lunch. Yes it is. You're offered a large variety of sandwich options so no doubt there'll be something here that you like. I tried the Philly cheesesteak sandwich on Panini and toasted. It was outstanding. Melted cheese, tomato, lettuce, and mayonnaise filled the sandwich. It comes with onions, but I took a pass on those. The sandwich was toasted perfectly. Loved every bite. The only drawback was the steak meat seemed to be more of the processed variety. Prices are good. Staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable.

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.

It was the perfect intimate venue with a combination of table & Bar seating with excellent customer service. The band played at the perfect tempo, not too loud and not too soft snd even ventured into the idle around the tables as their lead singer and keyboard player sang. I was with 2 friends, one of whom ordered food and loved her meal. We all enjoyed our libations and would definitely return with or without a live band. The only challenge is finding nearby parking on a weekend.
