Rein Osteria is an award-winning steak and seafood house with a classic American menu to suit all tastes. The menu also features amazing appetizers, salads, and coastal pastas to complement our wide selection of steaks, chops, seafoods and amazing sharable plates. The locale is modeled after the great grills of New York and The Hamptons offering beautiful views of the Marjorie Reservoir, vaulted ceilings, and a rustic natural elegance. Our philosophy is simple. We wanted to create a place where our guests and co-workers are happy to be. Our food is procured locally as much as possible, and our culinary mantra is to buy good products and treat them with respect. This mantra is also reflected in our service model. We aren’t a stuffy “fine dining” restaurant, and we want all our guests to feel comfortable and spoiled when dining with us.

Price: Expensive
• French American • Ridgefield
Booked 19 times today
The restaurant is named after America’s most famous founding father, Benjamin Franklin. While he was pinnacle in America’s birth, he also became the first ambassador to France. While on trips to Paris, he would wine and dine with the best of them and when he returned, he would bring back the French culture, food and wine, and share it with our new nation. Dishes like Potato Lyonnaise and Crème Brulée were the first of his favorites he shared with America. The Benjamin reflects that bridged gap between the two countries’ cultures. The restaurant and bar is french-inspired, but uniquely American. It sits in Ridgefield's historic district in a 1875 house, but the interiors are modern, elegant and new. Chef prepares dishes like Mussels, Foie Gras, Shrimp Toast, Chicken, Halibut, Duck, and more.

    We hadn't been to Rein since it first opened and remembered liking it, so went for my husband's birthday dinner with our adult son. Had a great meal, loved the ambiance and decor, had a great server, Tessa, was perfectly attentive and helpful, keeping our water refilled and letting us know what was happening next, suggesting I order a half salad (she was right!). Cocktails were delicious (I had Purple Rein), timing of meal delivery was just right, and food was delicious. I ordered seared tuna and could tell it would be something I will get a craving for later. We were looking forward to dessert and weren't disappointed, sticky toffee pudding (one of my very favorites) was yummy with salted caramel gelato. We look forward to returning with our other adult son and his bride next time they visit. Great evening all around!

    Made last minute reservations but we didn’t expect a large crowd after dinner time on a random Wednesday night. We were greeted and seated immediately. We ordered the porterhouse for 2, creamed spinach and mash potatoes. Food was really good and came out nice and hot. Service was great. Drinks were good too. Our waiter sang me happy birthday and gave me a dessert complimentary. I look forward to going again
