★★★★★ 5.0 Amadio Telesco · Dec 2025

Intimate French bistro, reservations required. The food and the service is outstanding. Drinks are amazing, We had steak for two & pasta appetizer. The steak was presented beautifully cooked to perfection, You're not even allowed to offer up how it's cooked. I highly recommend ordering the steak if it's on the menu.

A little hidden gem in Darien. Our meal was bursting with flavors. The presentation was excellent, and our waiter was knowledgeable and attentive. I recommend making reservations in advance this place books up quickly.

Great scene. Better wines available by the glass at the wine bar next door but still good. Just gat bar snacks but look forward to trying a proper dinner.

★★★★★ 5.0 ASG CAPCO CORP · Sep 2025

One of a kind venie. Very limited menu, but what is served is all terrific. Most of menu is static, with a large number of seasonal specials. Quality, preparation, presentation and taste. All 4 essentials get a 5 out of 5. It's a small place, so limited seating, so reservations are necessary to avoid long waits. Small bar to wait at, can get filled easily, so call ahead. Kitchen takes time to make orders to it's high standards, so sit back and enjoy. Lovely outdoor terrace enclosed by schrubs from sidewalk and street, weather permitting. Large umbrellas provide shade, but not protection from a heavy rain. One table outside is actually an L-shaped sofa and upholstery on two sides, with coffee table in center where food is served. Definitely a must to go to, with a French application of cu

Loved the food~wine and knowledgeable service. Only drawback~can be noisy considering the bar and eating area are combined in the same small venue. Hard to find sound proofing in any restaurant these days.
