Best restaurants near me in Southport, CT

Esh is one of the best restaurants in Fairfield County, CT. The food is superb, the vibe energetic and engaging along with an exquisite interior. A+/

The food was delicious! Had Blackstone Chicken and great sides, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, grilled onions. Had farm fresh salad which was excellent. The service was a little slow to get started but was better as the meal went on. Cozy place for a wonderful meal.

All excellent but I have to say that $45 for a small piece of elegantly presented halibut felt very expensive.

Went to meet my longtime friend at Terrain in Westport Connecticut today. Upon entering, I thought I was walking into a terrarium of sorts. I didn’t even realize it was a restaurant.  walking past the beautiful decorations I saw lots of smiling faces; waiters and patrons.  I sat down and was offered a drink right away. The menu was clean and elegantly designed. I liked how it was not overwhelming, but still had a nice range of options. The prices were great considering how lavish the decor was. I don’t think there was anything over $30 But the average I would say was $15. My friend ordered the grilled cheese and I got a medium well burger with aïoli dressing, bacon on top and a side of fries. I was really impressed with the quality of the meat combined with the juiciness of the burger. You never know what you’re gonna get when you Order medium well. The waiters were always on hand and ready to serve, but never gave us the feeling they were trying to rush us out. But we were there after the lunch rush so I don’t know what it’s like during the busiest times. Couple of lattes and we were ready to go. Was excited to explore the other areas of the place. I felt like I was at the botanical gardens with a restaurant growing out of it. It would be a great place to eat when the weather would allow outdoor seating.  Besides our kind waitress, a hostess by the name of Teresa, came by to check on us. She appeared to be a nature-loving enthusiast with an artistic bent. She turned me on to a Portuguese author whom I’m interested in reading. Overall, my friend and I had a great time and now planning on returning the last Thursday of this month. There’s a lot more to experience there not only in food, but in shopping. I could easily drop $1000 at the store, considering all the unique things on display. No hesitation, offering up five stars for Terrain ! After you check it out, send me your comments. Would love to hear from you. @HEARTmyMIND

Love this restaurant. Bartender was helpful and knowledgeable when I was trying to choose a special drink. The menu is clearly marked for gluten free items which makes ordering my meal easy to choose and comforting to know that I won’t be sick afterwards. The staff is friendly and pleasant. 💙
