My dining companions found their milkshakes to be a little on the sweet side. The vibe was classic diner, and it was packed in there so it got a little noisy. I would definitely eat there again! Five stars.

Our go-to CT diner spot (NYC ex-pats approved!)…read more My wife and I used to live in NYC, and like most ex-pats, we consider ourselves absolute "diner people." We seriously missed the vibe, the regulars, and the familiar faces at our old city hangouts when we first moved to Connecticut. Luckily, we've found a few local spots that stepped right into that void, and Darien Diner is easily one of our favorites. First off, the vibe here is awesome. It has that classic, retro stainless steel exterior, a great eat-in counter, old-school soda fountains, and tons of 1950s memorabilia inside. It's always super clean and well-maintained. During the pandemic, they had a makeshift tent and wooden deck for outdoor seating. They took it down a while back, but the *best* news is they just finished building a permanent foundation for a brand new outdoor dining area. My wife and I cannot wait for it to open so we can bring our fur babies along for breakfast again. Speaking of breakfast, they serve it all day and the food is pure American comfort. If you're going the breakfast route, you can't go wrong with the Farmers Omelette, the Two Eggs and Three Meats, or the Protein Breakfast (grilled chicken and tomatoes) if you're trying to be good. For lunch, their Patty Melt is elite, and I'm a massive fan of the Thanksgiving Sandwich (turkey, gravy, cranberry, and stuffing on a flatbread) and their Gyro platter. A quick heads up on timing: this place gets absolutely packed around noon on the weekends--we're talking a line out the door. If you want to sit down, definitely aim for either 11:00 AM or after 1:00 PM to miss the rush. Weekdays are much calmer, but on weekends we usually just order takeout to avoid the crowds altogether. The location is incredibly convenient, right off Exit 13 on I-95. Plus, there's a Splash Car Wash right next door, so we usually kill two birds with one stone and get the car cleaned before or after we eat. Pro-Tip: Just watch your speed when you're getting off the I-95 ramp onto Connecticut Ave. Cops love to hide right there and ticket people catching the light. Definitely recommend this spot if you're looking for a solid, welcoming diner in the area!

We had a scheduled post graduation dinner after my daughter's graduation from SHU (Sacred Heart…read moreUniversity), and we really had a great experience. My ex-wife, friend, and daughter's mother had pre-arranged the event, but they held up their end of the deal. The location really has the a wonderful ambiance (at least for our purposes). The chef, kitchen, wait and bar staff were great-highly accommodating., If we had anything negative to say, it would be that they ran out of many of the most popular desserts by the time we were read, but what they were able to offer was excellent. Highly recommend-especially for a large party event.

The service was excellent. They explained that the menu I was ordering from was from another restaurant. Admittedly, it was. We all had a good laugh and the wait staff apologized profusely, saying they had no idea how that other restaurant's menu was handed to me. We had an even heartier laugh when I told them I brought it. Let me say this about the ambiance. It's just a fun place to be. The sights and the sounds are marvelous. The wonderfully potent and ever present odor of fish reminds me of the Fulton fish market on a humid, blazing hot summer day in New York City. To the people of the Boathouse, god bless. Your establishment is truly a place to Live, Laugh, Love!!!'

It felt like many of the diners were regulars, which is always a great sign. The service was excellent--super attentive and accommodating. As we were leaving, a large party arrived and the staff seamlessly pushed tables together to make it work, which really spoke to how flexible and thoughtful they are. For food, we ordered the salad, Bat clam chowder, chimichurri beef skewer, beef stroganoff, and salmon roulade. Portions were generous and everything was delicious. The beef skewer was good but not particularly memorable; however, I would absolutely order everything else again without hesitation. We finished with the berry crumble for dessert, which was the perfect way to end a lovely meal. Overall, a great dining experience with solid food and standout service--we'll definitely be back.
