Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Darien

The restaurant was very good. Food was excellent and the owner took the time to sit with us and have a conversation. Highly recommend it.

These guys are truly professionals. The atmosphere, the staff, the food, all of it exceeded expectation. I’m a chef and don’t understand how they execute so well. Amazing people and amazing time. I’ll definitely be 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.

My husband and I love this restaurant, the view is spectacular and the food was delicious. He is an eggs Benedict snob and said it was the best he's had. I had huevos rancheros and a Bloody Mary and they were both delicious. Our waitress was not great. We waited a bit and when she came up, she literally raced to the table and was speaking before she got to our table. She didn't say hello or greet us with any enthusiasm, there was no warm welcome. I can't say who she was because she didn't tell us her name. That won't keep us from coming back! We do not live in Chicago, we always make it a point to eat here at least once.

Food was good and service excellent. Place was empty for a Saturday evening but it was a holiday weekend. Would go there again.
