    The flatbread with hummus, baba gauche and especially the spicy Feta were worth going to Esh alone so fresh and delicious! My husband had the Lamb pot pie and it’s a signature dish that presents well and he thoroughly enjoyed. My son had the halibut and my other son had the rib eye schwarma. I had the Bronzino. The halibut presentation was just okay but he enjoyed the flavor. My other son isn’t a fan of Feta and he thought it may have had feta sprinkled on top. My Bronzino was crisp and delicious with grilled tomato and pepper. For desert they remembered my birthday which was a plus. All three had the rice pudding and I had the Kade cake which was delicious. The server was pleasant, attentive and knew the menu inside and out. Her suggestions were spot on and added to our overall dining experience. With drinks the bill was $470 plus tip which is in line with other area restaurants in Westport and Fairfield. . We plan to go back again.

    We requested a quiet table where we could talk since this was a gathering that took 20 years to make happen and ALL of our expectations we met to our greatest satisfaction! Our server Lena was attentive without being onstrusive and the food was well enjoyed by all! HIGHLY recommend and our friends agreed!
