Driven by this place for years and thought it was a farm stand/garden center. Finally tried it. Will be back soon! Great brunch and lunch entrees. Haven't tried dinner yet but loved what I experienced. Try the Terrain breakfast and the Dill Bloody Mary is truly unique..

Love this place! There’s nothing in Fairfield nearly as vibe-y and cool with great food and drinks at affordable prices. Here’s what I loved: hand-crafted cocktails (I had the Tropic Morning News), my prime rib plate for $25, welcoming unpretentious service, and the vinyl playing in the background. Don’t sleep on this spot for your next time out.

My wife and I had a lovely evening dining at South Bay for the first time. The food and drinks were outstanding, and the place has a fun vibe; upscale enough for a special occasion (there was a birthday, a first date, and parents visiting their college student around us) but relaxed enough for a spontaneous night out like ours was. We will definitely be back, with friends!
