Seemed like the ambience in the restaurant was nice and the Staff was welcoming but the wait was ridiculous. Way too slow for takeout. The pizza was a small size for $23. Being that it was buy 1 get 1, spending $44 dollars on a small pizza and puny sized calamari was outrageous.

The one in Darien is relatively new and is very conveniently located right by the train station. The decor is stylish with a nautical theme that is very nice fitting for a seafood restaurant. They have outdoor seating and a nice bar area. We sat in one of the booths, which are high up but have a bar where you can rest your feet comfortably. James was our server, and he was great at explaining the menu and answered all of our questions regarding the food. I ordered the miso salmon entrée and my friend got the reel deal with salmon. The salmon was very nicely seasoned and cooked perfectly. The vegetables were delicious, cooked al dente so they were firm and full of flavor. I only wish they would have given a bigger piece of avocado since the slice was tiny. Prices are on the pricy side but not outrageous.

Everything was delicious!

This was great for someone like me who has a yeast allergy. I would like to come back give more of the other menu options a try. They have great happy hour deals and they also have live music on Saturdays, always a plus!

Everything was good. The three stars are for the food - the missing stars is for service. It's the holidays so maybe that was the issue. We have been here a few times and the food brings us back.

There was no Greek taste to it, in fact, there was just no taste period, like the rest of the food. The salad was unseasoned, and what was in there, had no flavor whatsoever. Moving on the the fish tacos, mussels, and rock shrimp, all were as bland as could be. We dedicated to try this place, because we wanted something new, but I wish we hadn't. Its too bad, because the place itself is nice looking and would be great if the food wasn't so terrible, and have to say your server was lovely. $200 later, we left hungry, angry and extremely disappointed.

The Sunday Sauce platter is massive- and has a ton of "meat" and the linguini with clam sauce has real clams in shell. Everyone enjoyed their meal. So yummy! My only negative is the place needs to add some fabric pieces to absorb noise as even the wait staff had trouble hearing us. Other than that, the food is amazing.

It's only about 10 minutes from Stamford, so I figured this would be a quick and easy burger run. Well... navigation had other plans and dropped me about a block away. After finally finding the actual restaurant, parking was easy with plenty of spaces available. They also have an outdoor seating area, which is nice. When I walked inside, I wasn't greeted right away. I waited about five minutes before someone acknowledged me. Once they did, she was friendly and let me know my order needed another five minutes or so. While waiting, I got a chance to look around. The restaurant was clean, had nice lighting, and a cool, relaxed atmosphere. They even have games available to play, which is a nice touch and makes me think staying to eat might be the move next time. Now to the important part, the Smash Burger. It was a good burger! The patty was juicy, well seasoned, and a nice size. The seasoning was almost a little too salty for me, but the flavor was definitely there. I added the uncured bacon, but honestly, I could have skipped it. It was a little too fatty for my liking and didn't really add much to the burger. The fries were also very good, crispy and flavorful, but again, SALT was definitely invited to the party. Next time I'll ask for them with little or no added salt. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. A few small things kept it from being a 5-star experience, mainly the initial wait to be acknowledged, the salt level, and the bacon not doing much for me. But the burger itself was juicy, flavorful, and good enough to bring me back. I'll definitely return, and next time I might actually stay and enjoy the place!

What happened to this place?…read more It started with a young hip, family friendly vibe with premium priced burgers and a lot of kid food. Tonight on a Thursday night, the place was understaffed... running late with a slew of phone and Uber orders... and seemed to be teaming with screaming children, whose parents were somewhat frustrated that their little ones were not getting their fries. The sun blazing in the western window which has no screen to protect people facing in that direction. Why? It's been this way since they opened and despite numerous requests, management has done nothing. Dinner for two with a burger and a wrap and two soft drinks and one order of fries came to $50 with tip. Sorry. Not worth it.

We ordered the Peremech Sandwich twice -- Tut's spiced ground beef wrapped in pastry with bouillon, sour cream, soy sauce, and sautéed onion -- unique, savory, and surprisingly filling. The soft‑shell crab sandwich was the standout, fresh and cooked perfectly. Overall, great staff, very good service, and large portions make Rory's a dependable spot for a solid lunch.

The first thing you notice walking in is the atmosphere. It's gorgeous--lots of natural light during the day and soft, moody lighting in the evening that plays off the wood floors and exposed recovered beams. It feels organic and warm, yet the white tablecloths and pressed-leather menus let you know you're in for a serious meal. The service was impressively discreet; they were always there when we needed something but never interrupted the flow of our conversation. They started us off with some incredibly fresh bread, which was a great sign of things to come. For starters, do not skip the Mussels Fra Diabolo. The broth has a perfect hit of garlic and basil, and the crostini is essential for soaking up every drop of that marinara. We also tried the Parmesan Brussel Sprouts--the candied walnuts add a crunch and sweetness that balances the savory sprouts perfectly. For the mains, the Chicken and Wild Mushrooms Pappardelle was a standout. The truffle oil was fragrant without being overpowering, and the presentation tied the whole dish together. I also have to mention the Roasted Chicken. It's rare to find chicken this flavorful and juicy with such a distinct, crispy skin. The combination of spicy sausage and cherry peppers gave it a nice heat, balanced out by the whipped potatoes and spinach. We finished with the coconut and blood orange sorbet, which was the ideal light, refreshing conclusion to the meal. If you're looking for a place where you can actually hear your companions speak while enjoying top-tier presentation and food quality, this is it. A total culinary delight.
