Best Seafood Restaurants in New Canaan

If you haven’t visited BANC House in a while, get back there. They have made some slight changes to the menu but have stayed true to their brand. The bao buns are killer and the raw bar is always fresh and delicious. Their service is friendly and attentive due to the leadership of Line. Swing by and say “hi” to Line.

Hightop table was like eating in the bar - exactly what we were looking for! Food was amazing & was brought to table at a perfect pace. Our server was attentive & friendly.

I hadn't been for a while, but it was our 41st anniversary, so we returned. It was outstanding in every respect, and I highly recommend it. Hopefully, you get Lila as your server.

We loved the Ridges and will be back. The porterhouse shared was fantastic, rivaling any and surpassing many of the “classic” famous steakhouses in NY. I would easily say it was the best I have experienced in CT. The only draw back I would note was perhaps my own ordering. I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass which had a thin potato topping. It was a very pricey fish at over $50. That alone should have given me pause, but I was curious and gave it a try. It was on the side of over cooked and the preparation was very heavy for such a fish. I wish I could have liked it but in the end I regretted it. I should have gone with the steak which is clearly where Ridges shines. Service was fantastic and for a steakhouse in a strip mall, my party was impressed. We would never have suspected how good it was. Definitely expensive, but definitely worth another trip for the steaks.

I typically write about the food after my dining experiences however, this is an exception to the norm. Anne Marie was our server and was the most professional, energetic, menu knowledgeable person that we EVER had the pleasure encountering in all of our USA dining experiences. I write this as a retired traveling association executive who has literally dined in thousands of restaurants throughout the country. Anne Marie paved the way for a fabulous dinner which included a delicious beet salad and a really hard to beat barrel cut filet mignon. The RG is truly a hidden gem where you dine in a private house which has a “I feel like I’m dining in someone’s really nice house” vibe. It is also located right next door (one minute walk) to fantastic/professional live theater venues. All this combined gives you an experience you won’t soon forget.
