About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Romantic
  • Neighborhood gem
The raw talent, experience, and passion is the foundation for South End, a neighborhood restaurant and gathering place in the charming town of New Canaan. Chef/Owner Nick Martschenko brings seasonal comfort food and inspired libations together with an atmosphere that is casual, familiar, and befitting of a small urbane town.

The design combines the old with the new. Rustic hardware elements are set against reclaimed barn wood paneling, and light fixtures are antique in design, while utilizing a more contemporary flare. Beige Italian linen drapes are complimented by contrasting black tufted linen upholstered banquette seating. Oversized color prints of a misty countryside and farm animals are a nod to Chef’s sustainable food practices.

    Appetizers were great. The main entrees were a bit lacking.

    Wonderful as usual. Missed the cacio e pepe dish and the chopped salad. Branzino, bolognese, and salmon - all were great!

    South End is always a delightful experience. On Sunday they have live music which is fun but I do not think it should be so loud.
