- JJeffreyVIPNew York City •4 reviews4.0Dined on May 17, 2025Great cocktails, great drinks, great staff. We just happen to need to go a little earlier ( 6:30) and it was charmingly full of families, which just meant about 15 kids under 5, So its playground loud. But thats Saturday early evening in a small town with few restaurant choices for families. Love the place, just need to go after the family time.More infoSails American GrillPrice: Moderate• American• Darien•4.8
