   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.

   Everything about our dinner was outstanding, from the greeting at the check-in desk through dessert. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and caring. The food is creative and very delicious.

   I have been to this restaurant about 7 times. Love the ambiance/decor. The menu is very unique and looks like it has a lot of potential. However everytime we have gone we have been disappointed with the food. Mostly very salty and just misses the mark with quality especially for the price. I keep saying I won't go back but think that this time I mean it.

   Food, ambiance, & service were all amazing. Our waitress did a great job of helping us balance out appetizers, entrees & desserts for an enjoyable meal.

   While the food was inventive and service good I feel that an entree at $48 was on the high side for the restaurant location within Fairfield and Fairfield County

   I wanted to write this view from a family perspective, since most do not mention this! I thought Esh might not be great for kids, but it totally surprised us. I expected a challenge with a 7-year-old and a 14-year-old, but the restaurant was super accommodating. We went early on a Sunday, so it was less crowded, and a great time to go before the dinner rush. The kids were thrilled with Shirley Temples and I got to sample their Orange wine—crisp, citrusy, and dry. We started with the 3-dip appetizer, which was fresh, flavorful, and perfect with the warm pita. Even the kids couldn’t stop eating it! For mains, we had the burgers for the kids which they allowed us to modify, duck wings, blistered peppers, and a delicious falafel basket for me. Everything was packed with flavor, and the portions were generous. The vibe is more upscale and adult, but the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. It’s not exactly a kids’ restaurant, but it worked perfectly for us. We’ll definitely be back—maybe for date night next time! Highly recommend for great food and thoughtful service.

    We shared the Esh bread and an order of falafel! We also had the cauliflower which was great!
