It's tucked right between Newfield and Springdale, and it has such a versatile vibe--it's quiet enough for a professional business lunch but refined enough to celebrate something special. My wife and I stopped by for their soft opening and were honestly blown away. From the moment the appetizers hit the table until the last bite of dessert, you could tell how much care went into the preparation and presentation. A few standouts: * The Grilled Octopus: It's hard to find someone who does this right, but theirs was incredibly tender and packed with flavor. * The Filet Mignon: Total "melt-in-your-mouth" quality. Perfectly cooked. * Desserts: Do not skip these. They were decadently delicious and the perfect way to cap off the meal. It's great to have a spot of this caliber right on the golf course.

They brought it- they exceeded our expectations allowing us to be guests at our own party. The chef's presentations were the talk of the evening- all night we had so many wow factors and the servers and bartenders were professional and caring-they went above and beyond. This was a large rehearsal dinner right before Christmas in NYC. IF you want to have a worry free event, professionally managed, and a memory of a lifetime- Marcia Selden is your caterer/party planner.

It seemed as if it was all of the same staff that worked all of them. They were all friendly, accommodating, and very professional. By the end of it all, I felt as if we had known all of them forever. That was really cool. The plethora of passed apps, dinner buffet, cocktails, and the the brunch buffet were THE best catered food I have ever had in my entire life and 30+ year career in the food and beverage industry. Me and my party that I came with (one of which owns a catering company in another state) were totally blown away. I live on the other side of the country now. But, the Selden's food made me feel completely at "home" again. Truly impressive. I highly recommend them for any of your occasions.

Every…read morestep of the way from preparation to picking the menu, to executing the event, David's did an incredible job helping us make our event a special one. Our coordinator Melissa was amazing leading up to the event in helping us determine the right menu and set up to ensure our guests had a wonderful time. We had over 80 guests and a lot of last minute shuffling of RSVPs, but everything went off without a hitch. Our chef for the event, Betty, cooked some truly amazing food and even incorporated requests for items not on their standard menu. The rest of the staff was very pleasant and did a great job of being available to our guests without being overly obtrusive. We'll definitely be using David's again for any of our future events!

Each Thursday at the Westport Farmers' Markets, the first thing you'll notice is not just a…read moreplethora of local produce, but the wood-fired oven attached to a green Dodge pick-up truck called Skinny Pines Pizza Truck. Skinny Pines aims to keep its pies as local as possible, buying all its produce and many of their key ingredients from farms in Connecticut and New York. In fact, Borofsky and his truck are headquartered in Easton, just less than five miles from Sport Hill Farm, where they are regular customers. The dough is made from hard red winter wheat, a 100% whole wheat grain milled to 00, sourced from Wild Hive Farm and Bakery in Clinton Corners, New York. The dough itself is treated to a 12-hour cold fermentation before it's left to rise for its weekly market appearance. This whole wheat dough is used on each and every Skinny Pines pie. The combination of finely ground 00 whole wheat flour and the wood-fired oven creates a light and airy crust, with just a hint of pleasant nuttiness. The Bianca is my recent pie pick, a white kalamata olive and rosemary pizza. Borofsky's toppings change seasonally, so check back often for his seasonal pie offerings and call ahead for their location. A locavore pizza truck with an eye for organic quality ingredients, don't miss Skinny Pines at the Westport Farmers' Markets!

We had an event planned yesterday, 5/6/21 for our employees; 55 people were expecting a pizza truck lunch. At 4:20pm the evening before the event, I received an email from Jeff saying he had 2 problems and would not be able to do the event. Zero notice and no other options. Just, sorry. Just thought you might want to know this because hiring a reliable caterer is typically the most important quality if you are hosting any kind of event. I do not recommend. Find someone else, anyone else!

I generally don't like Margaritas, but I went with staff's recommendation and got El Fuego - wow, what a delight! Smokey, spicy, and not sweet. Precisely as I like it. We got a few appetizers for the table to share. Japanese milk bread was a riot. One serving contains three pieces of bread and whipped butter. I probably can make a whole dinner from that margarita and a couple of plates of this bread. Just sublime, you need to try it to believe it. Corn fritters were good, soup dumplings, all very nice. I had short rib special as my main dish and it was superb, melt in your mouth and perfectly seasoned. We shared toffee pudding and butter cake after dinner and they were all tasty. Excellent service - prompt, friendly, attentive. Definitely recommended.

The host who seated us was friendly, and our server was attentive. The menu includes a variety of "small plates," larger entrées, and a small selection of sushi rolls. The beverage menu offers an extensive selection of crafted cocktails as well as mocktails, and there is a small curated wine list. My party chose to order the lunch specials that are offered on weekdays. These include a choice of house or cucumber salad, and two small plates or sushi rolls for a fixed price. Both salads were flavorful and good-sized portions. We loved the spicy crab, spicy tuna, and shrimp tempura rolls! I was impressed that they removed the inedible portion of the shrimp tail on the latter, something most restaurants fail to do. But, can we talk about the Detroit-style pizza? Not only was it authentic, but it was absolutely delicious! As someone who grew up in Detroit, Blackbird did a phenomenal job with it, and made me feel nostalgic. I have been to many restaurants in downtown New Canaan over the past several years. I cannot wait to return for another meal at Blackbird!
