    We went for valentine’s day dinner, and it was great. I will definitely be back. The branzino was fantastic, i would also recommend the filet mignon. Our server is was great and the food did not take too long. The cocktails did take awhile to come, which i do understand they were very busy. We are looking forward to going back soon and trying more items on the menu. One thing i would criticize would be the valet, i understand they are swamped on a Saturday night but they whip around the cars too fast in that tiny parking lot. Next time i will park in a different lot and walk over.

    My girlfriend and I had a very nice time! All of the servers and staff made us feel very comfortable for a romantic dinner as a queer couple! Food was delicious and portions were perfect. You left the restaurant feeling full in the best way! Very fun experience and worth the money! Visit if you’re wanting to have a fancy evening!

    First time visit to Taco Guy and really enjoyed it. I had two of the specials - Mexican oysters and a shrimp/scallops cerviche dish. Very inventive and very delicious. I have found my new favorite Mexican restaurant. As for libations, I think they specialize in drinks as opposed to wine. Only 3 wines by the glass. The one I ordered - a Spanish Grenacha - came in a thin can, which took me (sort of a wine guy) by surprise. But, and here's the important point, I enjoyed it and had a second one! So, it's not the quantity but the quality that's important. I'm looking forward to going back again soon.

    Zucca Gastrobar is a favorite- food and cocktails are always excellent. If you are planning a special event - go to Zucca. We have had several events at Zucca and they go out of their ways to accommodate special requests. A favorite spot in Westport!

    Wonderful experience overall, ambience, service, food all very good. A tad difficult to converse because of background noise, but not terribly so. Prices quite high, but in line with other restaurants of this caliber. Would definitely recommend.
