Gastro Bar Stamford, CT

November 14, 2015

Another day, Another dinner.

So, this past Saturday I met up with some friends for dinner while out of town ( + my uber young Uncle). Through some research, and thanks to apps like Yelp and Open Table, I decided Gastro’s in Stamford, CT would be a good spot. It looked like a good place to sit and talk, and have a nice dinner. And that it was.

As a bonus we ended up there dining with small wedding party for their reception at the restaurant, too. Oh, and they had entertainment, so by extension, their entertainment was ours. All I remember was huge headpieces, drums and thongs. * monkey with hands over eyes emoji*

I’m like wait, is this a restaurant or upscale strip club? LOL

kidding.

Here’s my recap:

Ambiance

Nicely lit. More on the dim side but not dark (does that make sense?). Very good vibes and atmosphere.

Dress code

Casual.

Price

$$-$$$.

Staff

Very Attentive Staff.

Parking

Parking is available on first come first serve out front. There is a huge parking garage behind the restaurant. Very short walk to/from.

We arrived by 8:15 PM. Parking was only $3.

Metro accessible

Stamford metro is a few blocks away. If the day is nice, not a bad walk I imagine.

A cab would be an option also.

Location

78 W Park Pl, Stamford, CT 06901

What I ordered

Surf & Turf, Chocolate Lava Cake, Glass of Chardonnay

Extra Stuff

I liked how they held my 8 PM Reservation until at least 8:30PM. I Did, I did arrive kinda late.

“1-2-3” menu options are available. (My coworker introduced me to this term.) Basically it means that you can get a standard protein, starch and vegetable plate option.
