    Shrimp fried rice. But if you want THE BEST BURGER ever!!!  Come here.
    Nicole K.

    We love this place!! The seasonal hummus is to die for! (Right now the season being pumpkin!!! Holy yum!). The burger! The pasta! The shrimp fried rice! The menu is versatile and fabulous! Every bite of anything you order will be a 10+++. And the amazing staff. And the cocktails!!!!

    My friends and I really loved this place. We shared a bunch of dishes and everything was super delicious. There is some Asian flavor in all the dishes here and it was well done. This place is pretty new and I liked how bright and modern the restaurant is. Service was decent as well. I think this is probably my favorite restaurant in Fairfield county so far.

    The Bao wagyu was amazing but I forgot to take a photo! It was my favorite thing that I tried worth all the accolades. The brisket was so tender.

    Spicy Scallop Tartare

    Just had the pleasure of dining here and what an absolutely spectacular meal. We ordered the Spicy Scallop Tartare which you order by piece and I could have had these all night. Warm crunchy rice against the fresh cold scallop with a bit of spice was a great combination. We also had the Wagyu Brisket Bao Buns which were a "build your own" and the fried rice. Both were delicious. For entrees we had the Black Bass and Mushroom risotto. The risotto was very traditional which I loved. No truffle on it which meant you could really taste the complexity of the mushrooms. For dessert we had the dark and stormy which was ginger beer sorbet with pineapple and it was amazing. Not sure what I was expecting but it exceeded that. We can't wait to come back! Staff was also super attentive and friendly, great ambiance, beautiful bar. Everything you want for a night out.

    This woman was rude to our friends from out of town. Heard she's the owner. Other staff made up for her horrible disposition.

    Karen is was very unfriendly to people in front of the store and kept saying something about her plants needing peace and quiet. Someone must've missed their meds that day. The staff was very nice and clearly fears Karen especially after she's been drinking.

    The Cottage is an eatery that is hard to put into words. It's fusion, it's fine dining, and it's combinations of flavors I haven't experienced before. And I say that as a compliment. For appetizers, we ordered two Wagyu Brisket Bao Buns ($12 each = $24). These were deliciously flavored, melted in your mouth, and you assemble them yourself so you can build the perfect bite. It was served with black garlic sauce, and kimchi, which I am admittedly, not a huge fan of, so I used it sparingly. I did build the perfect bite, though the ratios were a bit off. They gave a huge mass of kimchi, and if we had used it all, it would have resulted in a product where the actual meat was undetectable. The buns were served with duck fat potato tempura, which was crisp and delicious, and even as a standalone appetizer, this tempura would have been a winner. Our other appetizer was Spicy Pork Fried Rice ($23), which was the size of an entree! It had a stellar kick, crispy pork belly pieces, mushrooms, and scallions, a sunny side-up egg, and an incredible depth of flavor. For entrees, we got both pasta and meat. For pasta, we got Handcut Papardelle ($35), with a duck confit, dukka spices, and a hint of cinnamon. I was shocked at how well these flavors played together, and the confit duck was melt-in-your-mouth tender. I also ordered the Roasted Pork Loin ($40 that seems to have had seasoning piped into it with a syringe, creating some of the most deliciously flavored pork I've ever ordered in a restaurant. This was served with sauteed spinach and crispy potatoes, both of which were seasoned very richly. For dessert, we ordered the Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse ($15) which was our one miss of the night. Too much was done to try to "elevate" a classic, and it fell flat. The little pieces of orange in it disrupted the smooth texture I was anticipating, it was an example of "less is more" not being adhered to. Holistically though, The Cottage is a beautiful eatery with rich, bold, and creative flavors that we would recommend wholeheartedly.

    Lobster salad
    Saul G.

    Already hitting its stride with exquisite food and good service. We came on the first Saturday after opening, the fifth night overall. We secured a reservation with Nadia, who made the experience a pleasure. The restaurant was hopping as the host showed us to a small but comfortable two top in the back near the kitchen. Started with a glass of Piper for me and a glass of Sancerre for La Portena. After consulting with our server, I settled on one piece of the Scallop Toast and one of the Brisket Bao, and a lobster salad for my date. The fresh scallop was topped with a truffle flavored mushroom topping, sort of a tartuffata. The bao came disassembled, one steamed bun, a chunk of moist wagyu brisket, and a log of potato tempura. There were three condiments, a sort of black garlic hoisin, kimchi, and sriracha aioli. Both of these apps are priced by the piece, so you can build your own plate. The lobster salad came with ribbons of burrata - hence the straciatella in the description. Two slices of well buttered toast came alongside. Portion size was adequate, but left us wanting more. Ordered a glass of Nebbiolo to go with the mains. The cedar roasted king salmon was melt in your mouth, with a bit of rhubarb on the side. The perfectly cooked saddle of lamb came with a bit of creamy puree, a sort of chimichurri, and a small meat filled pastry. Both dishes were excellent, but on the small side. Perhaps it was just as well that we were not full, because you don't want to skip dessert. The sticky toffee pudding was light and delicious, in a pool of salt caramel. The dot of creme fraiche on top added a touch of acidity. The affogato was equally scrumptious, our server pouring an espresso over vanilla gelato at the table. The staff were uniformly friendly and polite, but the attentive maitre d' Ralph deserves a special shout out. Chef also circulated and received our compliments on a meal well done. Overall one of the best meals we have had in Greenwich, and already in good form.

    Delicious and upscale restaurant in Greenwich! Pricey menu and smaller serving sizes, but perfect for special occasions and date nights. Loved their unique appetizers and cocktails! Will definitely come back to try more of the menu!

    Was here to meet my daughter for Sunday brunch @ 11 am. The restaurant was about 25% occupied and…read morethe bar was empty. Once we were seated the waiter arrived asking about drinks which we declined in favor of bottled water, i ordered coffee as well and was offered 1 whole cup. Nobody came around for refill the rest of the meal We each ordered an appetizer and a main, both of our mains featuring 2sunny side up. 15 -20 minutes later BOTH entrees and my appetizer arrive WTF? After that our server just seemed to disappear. My daughter had hangar steak & eggs. I had the pork carnitas and eggs. Both our order's eggs were ordered sunny side up. Typically it's the yolks that are runny but both of our orders had runny whites as well. All this time we waited on the other appetizer to arrive. For a place that was not very busy the service was galactically awful. The food was passable but not great. The banana bread appetizer arrived as the busboy came to take our entree dishes. And that was after 2 reminders to our waiter (both appetizers were taken to go). Whoever is running this place (nobody game by asking how our meal was) should be embarrassed. When i spoke with our waiter about the abysmal service he passed it off on the busboy! There is no sense of teamwork nor pride in doing a good job. Sad.

    I went to The Wheel for brunch for the first time and had such a lovely time. The menu was great…read more My table shared the breakfast pizza, the smoked salmon pizza, and the oysters. All three were fantastic. The breakfast pizza had us craving more, and the oysters were fresh, delicious, and delicately shucked. I tried the chilaquiles and the short rib hash. The chilaquiles were very good, despite being a bit different from the red-sauce version I'm used to. But omg, the short rib hash was SO GOOD. This is an absolute killer dish. I've never been a huge fan of hollandaise sauce, but they put it on the side for me, and honestly, it blended extremely well with the flavors of the hash. The "5 O'Clock Somewhere" cocktail is refreshing and gave me a very light buzz that paired well with the delicious options we ordered. The staff is friendly and very attentive, and the spot itself is very clean, spacious, and stunning. I would definitely visit this spot again.

    "Dessert made the night."…read more La Bistro delivers a solid, comfortable dining experience, even if it does not quite separate itself from the pack. I ordered the 1930's Rachel sandwich with pastrami, Swiss, sauerkraut, and thousand island on rye, served with a side of fries. The sandwich was well balanced and satisfying, with the pastrami bringing a good depth of flavor and the bread nicely toasted, though nothing about it pushed beyond what you would expect from a reliable local spot. The fries were crisp and did their job, but again, more supporting act than standout. Where the meal really turned was dessert. The Tangerine and Ube mousses were easily the highlight of the night. Both had a clean, refined presentation and a smooth texture that felt more thoughtful and elevated than the rest of the meal. The tangerine was bright and refreshing, while the ube brought a subtle richness that rounded things out nicely. It was the one moment that felt memorable. The ambiance leans warm and relaxed, making it an easy place to sit and talk without feeling rushed. Service was steady and unobtrusive, fitting the tone of the restaurant well. Overall, La Bistro is a dependable spot that gets the fundamentals right, but it is the dessert that gives you a reason to come back.

We split two appetizer of the spiced cauliflower and tuna tartar. Both delicious and really easy to share. Our table was cleared of all silverware and plates to welcome the main dishes. When a runner came out to bring our mains, he noticed we didn't have silverware and quickly diverted his pace to get someone to give us silverware. It was very nonchalant the way he moved and the mains were then served shortly after the forks and knives were placed. I specifically took note of this and complimented the runner for noticing this and making sure its was taken care of properly. I dine all over the world and lately good service is hit or miss. Mostly miss. So when I see it done right, I make sure I let it be known that they did the right thing. Hopefully it gets passed on. This restaurant will see me again for sure.
