Restaurants near The Barnum Museum

The flatbread with hummus, baba gauche and especially the spicy Feta were worth going to Esh alone so fresh and delicious! My husband had the Lamb pot pie and it’s a signature dish that presents well and he thoroughly enjoyed. My son had the halibut and my other son had the rib eye schwarma. I had the Bronzino. The halibut presentation was just okay but he enjoyed the flavor. My other son isn’t a fan of Feta and he thought it may have had feta sprinkled on top. My Bronzino was crisp and delicious with grilled tomato and pepper. For desert they remembered my birthday which was a plus. All three had the rice pudding and I had the Kade cake which was delicious. The server was pleasant, attentive and knew the menu inside and out. Her suggestions were spot on and added to our overall dining experience. With drinks the bill was $470 plus tip which is in line with other area restaurants in Westport and Fairfield. . We plan to go back again.

Love this place! Cocktails are delicious , food is excellent and the menu is creative and inspiring. Will keep coming back!

Everything was exceptional. The service, the food, etc

The ambient soundtrack, not heavy metal or rap but I caught Jon Bon Jovi in ther, tells you something about this restaurant’s schizophrenic identity. The menu is almost excessively wide-ranging, from wings to lobster, in an sattempt to appeal to all comers, yet the prices invite a somewhat higher-incomed clientele. The interior is hardscaped, with no sound-absorbing fabric in sight(except the napkins) amidst the poured flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows and granite tabletops. The service was accomodating but slow at obvious transition points in the progression of the meal. Our order: appetizer of calamari was plentiful, oddly(for me) sprinkled with gorgonzola and drizzled with balsamic but delicious; an ahi tuna salad ( beautifully presented) and a clam and bacon flatbread that seemed a bit overdone/crispy. Two proseccos, a glass of pinot grigio and a bill of $120…. I want to try this location on a summer evening when there’s outdoor dining and enough light to enjoy the harborviews. Otherwise, it is not a top choice in several categories

It was good. I enjoyed myself. Always great celebrating with the people I love.
