Could do with more "you are here" maps but apart from that nicely maintained but small trail

A nice place for a walk with many intersecting trails. There's a few beautiful homes bordering the park. Today's walk was particularly nice as it was cool but not cold, and the fallen leaves make for a pretty sight. There's ample parking at the Greenwich parking lot.

Peaceful. Well kept, Except for the trashed Christmas trees - odd to see them right along the scenic river banks. Nice mix of trees and flowers. Thank you

A whimsical wonderland of many trails to choose from for all different skill levels. I entered on the Stamford side which has two levels of parking lots that are smaller and fill up quickly. I parked by the old red barn and walked over the bridge and entered the trailhead at the starting point. I had intentions of doing the 4mi loop around and started out on that trail following the yellow markers which then turned into green/ yellow and did not end up back where I started. The markers were a little confusing and I didn't feel it was accurate to the map. I loved the trails! From the River Trail along the water, to passing big boulders of rocks, the park was beautiful. I did however come out on the Greenich side and found out I was on the complete opposite side of the park of where I had parked. With this being my first time here, it was a little difficult to navigate. Talked to a few locals who were able to give me directions back. It was a great 7mi walk with a few bumps in the trails : )

What a lovely park! So many winding beautiful trails to choose from. River side, cliff side, woodsy… is a perfect place for a walk or ride. You can take an easy cruise down a main trail or find technical rocky trails with switch backs and big drops

Busy place on a nice Sunday Afternoon. Parking is a premium and I was lucky to get a spot but I knew that from other reviews. Lots of trails with a fair amount of people. It's a very pretty area. Shared with runners and mountain bikers so be alert. Lots of dogs which are supposed to be on leash and only ran into a couple off leash. Would go back again.

Easygoing, scenic trails. There's a nice variety to see between fisherman seeking brown trout & frogs inhabiting the river, dogwalkers, mountain biking, joggers, fancy homes, and winding trees. Decent amount of parking but bear in mind to use a restroom before visiting: the red barn building on premise is locked up.

A fairly large arboretum with many small trails, greenhouse, and flower garden. From the entrance, it wasn't immediately clear there was more parking space inside. The trails were quite rocky and are moderately difficult to traverse. Nonetheless, the wetland walkway was interestingly constructed to run over (as opposed to across) the riverbed.

A wonderful wooded park with well maintained trails and beautiful gardens. Concerts on the lawn on Sunday during the summer. A gem of a place.

An amazing natural getaway with a wide variety of trees, gardens, and trails. With no entry fee, this is the best place to go for peaceful walks. These trails are dog-friendly and all of the people I interacted with here are welcoming such as the gardeners who frequent the space as well as the staff who manage it and organize events. Highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area!

I can't believe this place is so big, so beautiful, so peaceful and free. Oh yes, most beautiful things in life are free❤️

Nice family friendly hiking area. A bit rocky and rooty. Overrun with rambunctious boy scouts. Zero wifi. Dog friendly.

Lovely Arboretum and Gardens. Free to enter. Located right off of Merritt Parkway (Route 15). Lots of food options nearby along High Ridge Road. There is a large parking lot close to the main area nearby the visitor's/welcome center. There is also a smaller space which accommodates about 5-6 vehicles as soon as you enter...this eaves you closer to the pond trail. Lots of walking paths on the well-maintained grounds. There are garden areas throughout .... be sure to take a photo of the map and/or follow the signs to explore each area. Bring comfortable and hike-ready footwear...especially if you plan on walking on some of the trails. The few staff members I encountered were very friendly and helpful.

Free. Okay trails, but lots of rocks and roots. Took me 25 minutes to do the entire loop

Beautiful and fun place to visit. As soon as you arrive you prompt to purchase your ticket at the gate. You cab pay with cash or card. The entrance fee is definitely worth it for all you get to see and explore. There is a lot to do (museum, hikes, walk path, animals to see and much more). I recommend spending 2-3 hours there.

Great for kids, make sure to go when the reptile room is open!

The wheelchair boardwalk is extensive and lovely! Ironically the start of Trail 7 is currently inaccessible, making it unsafe and painful. Looks like the gravel wore away. Please maintain this part or consider a permanent threshold ramp solution, so the Wheel in the Woods is truly wheelable 🙂 I look forward to coming back again.

Reallllly awesome place for kids and adults alike. Beautiful grounds and my son pet a baby goat, a Llama and a horse here! There is also an amazing otter that they feed every day and I recommend bringing your kid to watch the show!

Had our first date here in March 2022. 3 years later came back with our baby boy..great relaxing spot with ever changing art. Love the vibes and we took some perfect photos

We were very happy to discover this place. Only 15 minutes from Stamford downtown. There is a bit of everything here: I really liked the palace and the statues. The boardwalks were nice and peaceful. We met two young fawns there. Also on the territory of the nature center we saw a lot of animals: cows, goats, chickens, ponies, pigs, horses, llamas and many reptiles in small souvenir houses. And otters, they are as always, amusing and amazing. Worth a visit for sure, even without children - a good anti-stress therapy.

I was on crafts show it was amazing and unbelievable hand made creatures! Thank you!

Down a curvy county road lies this quiet, green pocket of peace. It’s not big, but it’s full of charm. Flowering plants, shaded benches, and the gentle sound of birds. It feels like a secret spot meant just for you. A lovely surprise.

Honestly a fantastic little rustic location. Very cool to see some of the history here. The garden is absolutely gorgeous, and it's a very peaceful place to be. Unfortunately the fort itself is no longer around but the place is still incredible

Just a wonderful place to relax and go for a fast walk. Gardens are amazing with a very wide spectrum of flowers. Great place to take your dog for a walk. Small clean park with lots of interesting locals visiting daily. Lots of parking. Can get busy during the summer months.

Small. Historic former fortress now just a hole. Pretty garden but that’s all. Note the Morial to the cat in a little fountain. Maybe a nice place to picnic briefly but would not plan to do anything here besides wedding photos

Very picturesque I had my baby photo shoot here, small, peaceful park off the main road, they're many different variation of flowers to view, they're plenty of open space to have a picnic, just to walk around and relax, parking is to the side, bring your bug spray.

There's not much of a fort left so we were disappointed but it's still a lovely place

The park has a tiny barely visible “do not park on the grass sign” than is easy to miss. Other drivers I met there missed the sign too. Please use my and other guys’ $80 a car citations money to get bigger and actually visible signs and or provide a sufficient parking lot for the cars at this location. What a shame..

I love this place I been going here since I was young. It’s a perfect place to hang out with friends and family also great place to watch the fireworks.

Beautiful winter sunset in Cove Island park.

Nice place

It's nice, but lately there is a lot of vandal activity and crooks in motorized mopeds, park ranger does not exist, safety should be enforced

Outside CT car registration owners will have to pay $69 for a single day parking spot, really outrageous! A brilliant & devious plan to keep the visitors out. Even tourist congestion charges at Venice pales in it's comparison. Welcome to Connecticut, the 'Constituition State'. We believe all men are created equal, just some (locals) are 'more' equal than others.

Great place to enjoy!!

Ordered through DoorDash my pizza arrived completely burnt and rock hard - I selected charred and well done in the customization settings which I haven’t done before but didn't realize it means totally burnt! Normally a colony lover but this was totally disappointing :(

I went on a very busy night and was greeted and seated quickly. My server saw me in uniform and asked if i needed a rush on my food as i was on a quick lunch break. I was amazed with the service standards because thats how a restaurant should be run. The pizza was really good.

5/5 for the pizza itself. Reasonably priced, delicious, and definitely in my personal top 10... maybe even top 5. The pizza has more in common with midwest/chicago 'tavern pizza' (thinner crust but still had a decent chew, not crackers like). Good selection of beers both "standard" and local draft. 100% is a "coming here again" next time I am in the area

25 years ago we were lucky enough to live near Colony Grill and it was delicious then! But we were young and hadn’t eaten 🍕 around the world! We came back! Yup, still the best damn pizza EVER! Thin crust, firm though and everything, the sauce, the cheese, is in perfect balance! And you do t have a bloat belly on after!

Had a pepperoni and stinger pizza with hot oil on the side. It was so thin and crisp. Almost like the crust had been fried. It was really good. Highly recommended.

Omg, this was the best pizza I have ever had and I've had 1000000 pizzas. They only do pizza, and they do it to perfection!! And my French Martini, or two, were amazing!!!!!

Love Just love this place Please please bring back the arugula rocket pizza!!! All year long!! So good Will be hunting all winter for it Till summer 26.... Peace n love and pizza!!! If ya don't eat the whole pie....

Most of the food is quite good (the Buneolos are supposed to have ham, but the amount of ham in it is virtually nil). The place is in dire need of a refresh. The seats have torn covers, the chairs' paint is worn, the entry door looks very worn and dirty, the windows are so dirty it looks like it's foggy outside. And the service is lacking. Plates are "deposited" on the table, not served. Not one of the plates, designed for sharing, comes with a spoon so everyone has to use their own fork - when I asked for spoons I got an eye roll from the waitress. Most servers don't smile - does not come across as a happy place. Noise is on the very high end. Overall, just fair.

The food here never misses — we came for the lobster, but it was sold out. The bartender’s picks (soup, gambas, octopus, and the chicken dish) were all amazing. The soup was WOW, weeks later, I’m still thinking about it (and the lobster). The chicken was worth the wait too. Normally, we sit at a table but this time we tried the bar - and we’re so glad we did. The bartender Amanda was very personable, gracious, and so easy to talk to. She made us feel like old friends even with a full bar, relaxed, welcoming and just good to be around. It's also worth noting that it was great to watch her and Steve (I think that’s his name, tall bartender with straight dark hair) work together. You can tell they genuinely enjoy working together - lots of laughs, good energy, and real camaraderie. Very simpatico. A vibe like that isn’t common but makes a huge difference. Their energy was contagious and so appreciated. In the world we live in now, that can feel so heavy, it’s so important to spread positivity and light and I hope this reaches them them. Keep doing what you’re doing. Thanks for the good time, great drinks and vibe, honestly just a fun spot all around.

I can’t give this Barcelona location enough stars!!! I have tried a few of their other locations, all of which were amazing in their own ways, but Stamford will always have my heart. The staff here is out of this world and their customer service is undefeated. Chris is such an amazing manager and always greets my party and I with the warmest greeting. Everything runs smoothly with him around. Alex is one of my favorite servers and I will never cease to be amazed by his excellent memory. He is always on top of everything and so accommodating and friendly. The food here is like none other! I can never get enough of this place! They offer free bread and olive oil - who doesn’t love that?! The menu staples and changes are never a disappointment, and are always so fresh. Don’t even get me started about the dessert. My experience is not complete without the olive oil cake! The ambiance here is unmatched and truly is a vibe. They stay open pretty late during the week too which is awesome! All that to say - this is hands down one of the best restaurants, not only every where, but especially in Stamford.

This place was so cute! Amazing service, wonderful bites, and ambiance was lively. Yet romantic. Reasonably priced and overall amazing experience. Will be back!

Went to Barcelona with a large party on a Saturday. The restaurant was very busy. Our service was great food came out fast and the service was A1.

Been twice in the last couple weeks and had Alex both times, he was GREAT!! Came for lunch on a Friday and dinner on a Wednesday, it wasn’t too crowded/loud either time. Food is incredible, red sangria is incredible, atmosphere is beautiful and cozy. Only thing is its relatively small so I could see it becoming really loud if fully packed. 10/10 we love Barcelona!

Great vibe but came very short on service (Saturday night), our waiter was informative and kind but clearly short handed and too busy to check on us, bring us water or sell us more wine/cocktails. Definitely need to look into staffing during prime time. All the tables were looking for assistance, more bread, water, and drinks. Food was tasty, cooked well, paella especially tasty. I was expecting more, especially after being to the location in DC that was spot on. Disappointed to say the least.

I came here early to avoid the long wait time and I now understand why this place is so busy. I had an exceptional dining experience here! They had a vast variety of food selections at very reasonable prices. It was hard to choose what to eat everything looked really good! I ordered the Fettuccine al Mascarpone with chicken cutlet and my boyfriend ordered the Gnocchi special with sausage. The food was absolutely amazing, every dish was full of flavor and truly exceeded my expectations. The wine was just as impressive. For dessert we ordered the Nutella cheesecake with Oreo cookie crust a homemade dessert, which was absolutely delicious and the perfect finish to the meal. Our survey Nikki made the experience even better. She was extremely attentive, accommodating, and provided outstanding service from start to finish. The atmosphere at Cafe Silvium was warm, welcoming, and overall amazing. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food, great service, and a wonderful dining experience. I will definitely come back again!

It’s one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. Prepare yourself for a hefty wine pour, the friendliest service, and the most amazing food. Even when you’re stuffed, you can’t say no to dessert. My boyfriend, THE tiramisu aficionado, claims they have the best he’s ever had. I’d like you to try to have a bad meal here! On top of it all, the pricing is beyond reasonable. Cannot recommend enough!!

Great little Italian restaurant. I was looking on Google for a good Italian place in Stamford to meet up with a buddy of mine since we both work in CT. This place checks all the boxes: good food, reasonable prices, and an attentive waiter. This place does prefer reservations, but we came on a Monday night so they were able to accommodate us. I'll definitely be returning if I'm in the area again. Great jewel of a place.

Excellent, authentic Italian food. I don't know how they do it with such an abundant menu and keep the quality of food so high. From the homemade fetucine and grappa to the perfectly cooked octopus and broccoli rabe, I cannot wait to dine here again! The owner/chef took time out to greet his patrons and ensure we were enjoying our meals.

The service was great! The food came out fresh, and everyone had recommendations. The fettuccine was 10/10. The dish was flavorful. The calamari was also delicious. The batter was seasoned and the red sauce had a little spice. Make sure you make a reservation because the tables were full the entire night. Great for a date night, birthday dinner or just getting some good food.

It was the number one suggested dining experience for a work trip to Stamford. We were able to walk in and get a table for three at 5:15 which we were told would be a long shot but the gentlemen was very accommodating even though it appeared to be quite busy. The server was great and he had great descriptive suggestions for each of us based on what we were looking for. They adjust ingredients to make each dish as we wished and the food was excellent! Thank you for a great meal and experience!

I want to start by giving a HUGE shoutout to Nicki (apologies for any mis-spelling). She was our waitress last Friday night. It was nice to be able to have a drink while we waited outside until a table opened up, which was well worth the wait. I don't believe it is an exaggeration to say I have never seen a waitress work as hard as she did considering all the people she was waiting on, including those outside waiting for tables. She was personable, memorized our orders without writing them down, gave great recommendations, and was just a joy for our group to have with us for the night. Some of the best service we have ever had eating out at a restaurant. Of course, the food was amazing and we would happily come back just for that, but Nicki's service is the reason we would come back here instead of somewhere else that has great food. Thank you for a wonderful night! -Josh and Laura

Amazing spot for happy hour! Delicious food, strong drinks, and beautiful atmosphere. We love coming here

Fantastic food. Lovely little dining area. Staff very attentive and friendly. Great gluten free options. Fresh. High quality. Complimentary valet parking which is super helpful and fast. Very reasonably priced for the quality.

The food is very good and quite different from the normal fare. The service was great. The only other comment that doesn't take away from eating there is $5 00 for a glass of ice tea ( even a refill) and $4 00 for a mini bottle of coke. We will still definitely return!

Hidden gem serving Latin American cuisine in Stamford. I’ve been here for lunch and dinner; the menus differ slightly, but there are dishes to love in both. The meal always starts out with yummy plantain chips and pico de gallo salsa on the house. They have a variety of delicious-sounding cocktails; I typically get their refreshing red sangria. From their appetizers (in both the lunch and dinner menus), their empanadas are a stand out. The dish comes with three empanada flavors: beef, chicken, and pork. They’re cut in half and served with a creamy guajillo pepper sauce. So full of flavor. Another delicious appetizer (only available in the dinner menu) is the “pinchos de churrasco”, three grilled skirt steak skewers with chimichurri sauce. In terms of entrees, the “bistec a caballo” (from the lunch menu) is a must-try! It’s a skirt steak that comes with caramelized onions and peppers, rice, black beans, sweet plantains, and a fried egg. The “churrasco gaucho” (from the dinner menu) is my other go-to. It consists of a 12 oz grass fed prime NY strip steak served with roasted asparagus, baby gold potatoes, and chimichurri sauce. These entrees are huge; I definitely recommend sharing. For dessert, I’ve tried their crepes filled with dulce de leche and the tres leches cake, which is topped with guava sorbet. My preference for tres leches cake is for the cake to be very moist, so I found this cake to be on the drier side. The sorbet is quite sweet and tropical, so I wish the tres leches cake came with a different flavor of sorbet, or with the sorbet on the side. The desserts aren’t the most impressive part of the meal, but they’re still worth trying. Service is fast and I love their interior decoration! The parking lot is quite small, but they have valet parking.

I wish I knew about this restaurant sooner! The decor and ambiance is so cute and the patio is perfect for a summer dinner or drinks at the outdoor bar. Everything we ordered was incredible from the empanadas to the steak and the delicious crepes. Drinks were also really great and you can tell everything is very fresh! The seasonal cocktails all sound so good, so I will definitely be back soon! Plus, they have a great happy hour with deals on drinks and apps!

Great food, amazing service. The staff were very friendly and provided heartfelt recommendations. I really enjoy a seeing the workers who have a favorite meal especially when asked "which would you order". I love when they have an opinion, I get not everyone has the same taste but when a waiter says "that's my favorite, you might not like it but I love it" to me that speaks volumes. Food was great, would eat here again and probably will.

I loved the plantains and salsa to start! We had the camarones al ajillo (the sauce was amazing), arroz con pollo (cute aesthetic), bistec a caballo, and the burrito—everything was VERY good! We also did the lunch special, which included empanadas and churros, all for just $20!

Have been here twice for my birthday. Greeting staff and server (Joseph) were genuinely hospitable and attentive to my guest and I. The food is really good here—well seasoned and the right temperatures! Would recommend the field greens salad, tomahawk veal chop, steaks and the mashed potatoes here! By far, one of the best steaks I’ve ever had! Would highly recommend!

Food, service, ambience. Everything was absolutely amazing . I should’ve came here sooner. I will be returning! My steak was perfectly cooked The lobster tail… im still dreaming about The mashed potatoes delicious The cheesecake, omg . Literally enjoyed every bite.

The waitress screwed up the order, but the food was OK. Drinks were also good

Went there for dinner, we had a reservation and didn’t have to wait when we got there on time (* plus, especially when they are busy. They seem to have planned out the reservations well and did not overbook) What we ordered: 🍽️Pan Fried Calamari for appetizer (to share) - was a big portion! Crispy on the outside and not rubbery on the inside. Tasted great. 🍽️Seared Tenderloin w Butter Poached Lobster Tails - Ordered Rare, slightly under but still tasted great. Lobster tails were already peeled and ready to eat. 🍽️Roasted Chicken Breast with Mushroom and Parmesan Risotto - The chicken breast was amazing! I would reorder the dish if they have just the chicken. Risotto was tough and tasteless, didn’t do much for the dish. (Wouldn’t recommend getting this) 🍽️ Truffle fries for side (to share) - portion is just right for 2. 🍹The Bohemian - tasty, if you like something fruity. They were generous with the shot in the cocktail👍🏻 Overall, service was good and food was good. May return to try other dishes.

The customer service was amazing! They took care of us with ease. The food was magnificent! We were surprised for our Anniversary a beautiful little dessert and champagne! They made it so special. Andres is the best person to take care of you there in Stamford. Thank you Capital Grille!!

My husband and I enjoyed a fantastic valentines day dinner here. Once we arrived, we were seated about 30 minutes later as it was extremely busy. Ahmed, our waiter was amazing. He provided wonderful recommendations and was very attentive throughout the night. I highly recommend the lamb chops, lobster mac & cheese and ribeye. Everything was made to perfection. To end the night, we enjoyed chocolate covered strawberries and I was provided with a rose (such a nice touch for a special day). This restaurant is wonderful and we will be back soon. Shoutout to Ahmed for taking great care of us throughout the night.

This place is wonderful and the favorite of all capital grille locations…. The dining room is so well designed… every staff member is excellent… never had a bad or even subpar experience with any of them. I’ve gone at least 50 times. The food is always consistently excellent. Drinks are poured generously. Brendan, Ursula, Stephanie, Irvin are all excellent bartenders. Expect great service from Eric, Joe, Kevin, and Jim in the dining room. Too many other great names to list as well. A true pleasure to deal with and I am a customer for life
