Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Darien

Wow wow wow! This is the first time I am going to leave a review for any restaurant I have been to and I think this is Deserving of more than that! First off, The manager BETH is amazing. With the way the place was packed. She made time out to check on each table and made sure everything was up to par! I called before coming in to plan a surprise proposal for my girlfriend and this was the only Place that made me feel so comfortable and I spoke to BETH on the phone and she assured me everything would work out and to my surprise. It was much more than I expected and brought my girlfriend to tears! If you ever find yourself here, I Recommend asking to be served by Alex! He was so kind, had a very detailed response to every question and knew the Whole menu to heart, I for once thought I was in Greece for a second. The Enclosed Terrace gave a new look to what Private dining should feel like, it was so intimate in there, the flowers overhead and the light bulb hanging over the table was beautiful. A Dj was playing and he was great too, I have never danced at a dinner table before, they gave out fireworks when the DJ made some transition and it was an highlight for us. So going on a Saturday to experience the in house DJ play is also recommended. Now go the drinks and food. I had the APHRODITE and the orange peel that was in the drink gave it the kick it needed. It was a little bit sweet just a little but the pistachio and Patron blended so well it could be my second favorite cocktail of all time, my girl had the MYKONIAN MEZZ which she says was a 7/10. Do not have the details on why she rated it that as she had so much fun and slept off on me! For Appetizers, we had the Grilled meatballs and when I tell you I never knew meat and Yogurt could ever taste that good. I was a little bit against it when I saw the menu but Alex reassured us it was one of the best and most ordered Item on the appetizer menu, and surprisingly it was great! The crispy Calamari was the secon

Such a great experience! We had the prosciutto stuffed with mozzarella for an appetizer. So delicious! The bottle of Cabernet was like drinking liquid silk. Our server Kara was spot on. Everyone’s steak was cooked to perfection. We were so stuffed, but Kara encouraged us to share a few desserts. The crème brûlée cheesecake is so amazing and the flourless chocolate cake was the yin to the cheesecakes yan. Thank you for an incredible evening with family and friends.

I felt like I was treated with respect and dignity the moment I opened the door for my wife and baby son. Best steak I have ever had.

As always, food and service were excellent! Spinach/artichoke dip & truffle fries are seriously amazing’

Love JOJO’s, it’s just a bit pricey for what you’re getting. That said, very nice locally owned spot that’s accommodating. Glad we didn’t go to Benihana 🤣
