Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Darien

This is our favorite moderately priced restaurant. They serve fresh baked bread that is the best we’ve had at any restaurant. They also serve an antipasto dish with olives, cauliflower, celery, shredded Parmesan cheese, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It’s delicious and a perfect complement for the bread. It’s filling too so it could replace an appetizer. We like to go on Friday nights because their current special on Fridays is Shrimp Diavlo. It’s magnificent. Big meaty shrimp and a flavorful, chunky tomato sauce makes this dish five stars. We had the tiramisu for dessert last night with coffee and it’s a huge piece of cake, beautifully presented with a vanilla cream around the base. Wow. We’ll go back soon!

Our waiter was wonderful and personable and forthcoming, he was quick with Service for both drinks and bringing the meal and attentive, but not over-bearing. He was great at making food recommendations. We had a great time and highly recommend the restaurant !. The flourless chocolate cake was to die for.

This was my first time seeing a live jazz performance and Andy’s did not disappoint. I have no complaints, and enjoyed everything. Service was incredibly fast and welcoming. Definitely coming back!

I cannot count the number of visits we've had to The Girl and the Goat, but it continues to be a favorite for both personal and professional dining. I brought three colleagues, who have never been, to the restaurant for dinner. One diner is vegetarian, but there are menu offerings and options available to provide them with enough to eat. All three were quite impressed with the food. My only complaint would be our table was right next to the kitchen, which can be loud. However, we made due, and had an enjoyable meal. Service is always very good, and the cocktails are fun. If you're interested in dining, make sure you book way ahead, as there is almost no chance to get a table day of.

I wanted to experience food such as boursh and schnitzel. Always heard of it, but never sounded appetizing. Let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious!! Drinks were very good as well. I had a French martini and it was so good. We will go back to try some other dishes on the menu!
