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.
Until our next dinner date,
