3 Best Restaurants in Southwestern Connecticut, Connecticut

The Capital Grille

$$$$ Fodor's choice
This swanky and splurge-worthy steak house serves up impeccable steaks and chops, along with a host of other well-crafted entrées, in the dimly lit dining room with an old-school gentleman's club feel. Though dry-aged, hand-carved steaks are the specialty, Capital Grille also excels at seafood: pan-seared scallops, Maine lobster, and sushi-grade seared sesame tuna are equally delicious choices.

Rate Includes: No lunch weekends

Hudson Malone

$$$

Mainly a chophouse, where you might choose a 40-ounce Tomahawk steak, 10-ounce filet mignon, double-cut pork chop with a choice of sauce or herbed butter; but the rather extensive menu also includes grilled fish, burgers, and several small plates. 

Prime Stamford

$$$$

Enjoy a full view of the waterfront while partaking of USDA Prime dry-aged steak, chops, or seafood with classic steakhouse sides and enhancements such as horseradish cream, Bearnaise, blue cheese, or Bordelaise sauce. Start with a selection from the raw bar, wagyu meatballs, octopus carpaccio, or caramelized figs, among other options—and end with a "movie theater" sundae.
