    Have tickets to a show at Ridgefield Playhouse on our tickets, It said Bailey’s sponsored that night & gave you a little percentage off. If you showed your ticket, so we checked out the menu ahead of time and decided it looks like a cool spot to go. It exceeded our expectations. Our wait staff was absolutely amazing. From the minute. We walked in and was greeted , then seated, all the way to when we left. Amazing selections farm to table. Our meals were the gnocchi and sea bass. Both tremendous! The butternut squash soup was sensational, and we ended going with the carrot cake which was marvelous. We will def be back. Great date night!
