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.

The prices were on par for similar establishments - which is a little high across the board in this state, but that's just how it is. There is really only one problem here, and it's the seating. While the wrought iron chairs may have been an aesthetic decision that match the rustic design, they are really, REALLY uncomfortable! We were fortunate enough to have chairs that had a cushion on them (which most of them didn't appear to have), but even with the cushions, sitting in those chairs for only a short time was uncomfortable. Gotta say we would have stayed a lot longer and ordered several more rounds of drinks, but our backs and butts just couldn't take another second on those hard metal chairs. Ultimately, I'd give this place 4, probably even 5 stars if new comfortable chairs were added. Hopefully management will take this suggestion into consideration in the future.

We've had the tuna tartare, the clams, the awful awful steak (their name for it), the tuna salad, the wings, the salmon, the burger... Loved everything we ever ordered here. You can get a decent glass of wine or a beer. That's usually what we stick to. There's also a full bar if that's how you roll! Parking is usually fine along the seawall. There are a few spaces by the door but we never take them. There's a nice patio when the weather is nice and you can look out on Long Island Sound. There's a lot of activity by the seawall if you're into people and dog watching also. It's a great spot and I'm glad we're returning soon!

They also have a dart board with two tables in between, and a pool table. The ambiance is a little dark, but that may to be to help keep it cool in the summer.

They were very good with generous thick cuts of meat packed inside . Loaded with toppings lettuce,tomatoes, onions with a side of what looked like a avocado creme. With all that packed inside underneath tends to get a tad soggy so I don't advise waiting to eat them ,but order them dining outside is best. We also ordered beef slider (3) they were pleasantly bigger then what I expected and very tasty that I could have bought more if I had time.

My son always raved over their Mac N' cheese and this is where he wanted us to take him for his 22nd birthday, he wanted their Mac N' cheese, so both my son and my other son's girlfriend ordered the mac & cheese. They took about four bites and my son decided it's different. It's not like it used to be doesn't taste right. Nonetheless, he was disappointed on his birthday. Beside that, our food was good. But the first noticeable thing was our server a waitress, she was pretty rude even though we were very nice to her. After we'd gotten home my other son looked it up and seen a few reviews on the service of this very same waitress/server. We dined there on 05/06/26 . And got there about 8:30-9:00pm
