Upscale, cozy New American restaurant in a former 1-room schoolhouse along the Norwalk River.

Such a charming little gem. The restaurant looks like an old-school schoolhouse, straight out of a Hallmark movie, cozy, intimate, and full of character. The food was incredible. You can truly taste the quality and freshness of the organic ingredients. I ordered the chicken Milanese, perfectly crisp and flavorful and my boyfriend had the grey sole, which was light, buttery, and so fresh (I had to try it too!). Beautiful atmosphere, amazing food, and definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to. ✨

It is one of our favorite places in Fairfield county. It is now under a new management for the last few years, but the quality and standard is exactly the same as before. A couple of days ago we went there for our anniversary dinner. The staff is so courteous and so friendly, they make you feel like you are the ones that have been waiting for all day.
The food is amazing, very flavorful and very high quality, And the prices reflect that quality. I highly recommend it. We will continue going back.
One important thing to remember, when you’re sitting there and having dinner, you can actually see and imagine the historic schoolhouse.

Great food. Great service. We go every year for our anniversary. Usually on Thursday for the 3 course meal but we’ve gone on the weekends too.
It is very small but I really enjoy it and have always had a stellar experience we will be back again for sure!

French press coffee set the tone, followed by very nicely executed brunch items of which we ordered 3 for the 2 of us. Cozy dining room, excellent attentive service.

This was our first visit here since ownership changed several years ago and, frankly, we were disappointed. The beet salad starter was very tasty but the entrees were unexceptional – not bad, mind you, but lacking in imagination and interest.
The stand out feature of the Schoolhouse is its ear-splitting din. People in the restaurant were – literally – screaming at each other due to the cacophony. And even toward the end of evening when the place was half full, a few screamers was all it took to dissaude us from returning.
On the plus side was our waiter who was pleasant and attentive. He said he’d worked there 18 years, making me wonder why his hearing is still intact.

The Schoolhouse always delights! Great menu, well-prepared drinks, tasty food and impeccable service. One of the owners, Angela, is seemingly always present and doting on guests. The wait staff are all experienced hands. Open Table ranked it as one of the 100 best brunch restaurants in the country – and its definitely the best in the area. Brunch or dinner – never disappoints. I always leave thinking I should come more often.

Excellent once again. Service is exceptional. Appetizers, main courses were outstanding. We had pasta, steak, calamari and salads… I will say though prices have gone up a lot since our last visit in early Dec. For 3 of us extra $50 for the night, so be prepared.

We went there to celebrate my mother in law’s birthday. The food was delicious. The service was fantastic and the host/manager, Dave, helped to make the day and the meal unforgettable. We are from NY and don’t get up that way often, but we will definitely be dining here on our next trip.
