Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Darien

Only reason 4 stars on food due to ordered burger med-well and got it med-rare. If I send it back, what does my guest do w/his salmon? That one issue aside, it is a top-shelf experience. and would definitely return.

thank you andrea’s for another wonderful evening! superb food, drink, ambiance & such a warm welcome when we arrived! see you soon!

A wonderful dinner - again! We just love this restaurant - great food, knowledgeable and careful service, comfortable setting. Three of us started with the sformata and escargot. If you have not had L’Ostal’s sformata you are missing a real treat: light, flavorful and warm - perfect for a cold night. The escargot were exactly as they should be ( and my son and I fought to soak up the sauce with the bread pieces!). For entrees, we each loved our choices. My son found the paparadelli to be exactly correct - hearty, tasty. My wife had the duck and we all thought it was ideal - moist, flavorful, tender. I had the skate and it was delicious. I love properly prepared skate but find it much less often these days - and L’Ostal made it perfect, light, flavorful, tender. A glass of Pinot noir and it was a perfect dinner. We just love this place! If you haven’t been, go soon.

The food was delicious! We had stuffed salmon, mashed potatoes, asparagus, and the surf and turf. The service was amazing! I would highly recommend.

Overall we enjoyed and appreciated the music , the creativity of the artwork and seating arrangements . It is definitely a place to consider going for a date night. The servers and owners were extremely welcoming and eager to assist, even with the bottle of wine to consider. The food is average for bar food .
