    I had the blackened catfish and it was delicious. I would get it or the meatloaf any time.

    This place deserves way more attention than it gets. Tucked in downtown Bridgeport with easy street…read moreand garage parking nearby, 29 Markle Court walks in with serious style -- the decor is chic, the atmosphere is warm and cool at the same time, and it genuinely feels like somewhere you'd expect to find in a much bigger city. Drinks first: my slightly dirty martini was made exactly right. My friend went with cosmo and it was equally on point. Whoever is behind that bar has their act together. Then the food happened. We started with grilled bread with an EVOO, agave, and chile dip -- sounds simple, ate like a statement. The char on the bread, the heat and sweetness of that dip. Good sign of things to come. Main event: shrimp and grits. Guinea flint grits, spicy red sauce, sage, stock. I don't say this lightly -- this is one of the best things I've eaten in a long time. The grits were creamy and rich, the sauce had real depth and heat, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. The whole bowl just worked on every level. Dessert: goat cheesecake with pistachio dust and berry compote. Tangy, creamy, not too sweet, and that pistachio dust on top was a perfect finish. We cleared the plate.

    This spot is a hidden gem that absolutely nails the creative, upscale New American soul food vibe,…read morewith a polished, grown atmosphere that still feels warm and inviting. They put a heavy focus on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and smoked cooking techniques, and it really shows in every dish. We stopped in around 3:30 on a Sunday and grabbed seats at the bar for quicker service, which ended up being the perfect move. Our bartender, Gabe, was fantastic...attentive, friendly, and genuinely added to the overall experience. The presentation across the board was stunning, but the flavors backed it up just as much. The smoked half bird was easily one of the highlights: perfectly tender and juicy, with a deep smoky flavor balanced by subtle sweetness from the agave and brightness from the lemon zest. The lamb chops were another standout...beautifully cooked, clean, juicy, and layered with bold flavor from the spicy harissa, cooling yogurt, ginger, and fresh mint. The charred broccolini surprised me in the best way. Serving it over whipped ricotta with Calabrian chilies, garlic, and lemon zest created this creamy, smoky, slightly spicy balance that worked incredibly well together. Even the carrots had great flavor, with the citrus glaze, spiced crème fraîche, toasted pistachios, sesame, and mint adding a lot of texture and contrast. My only minor critique was that the texture of the carrots felt a little inconsistent throughout the dish, almost as if they may have been slightly rushed that day. Overall, though, everything felt thoughtful and well executed. Between the smoky flavors, elevated comfort-food feel, gorgeous plating, and great energy, this is definitely a spot I'd come back to.
