This is our FAVORITE restaurant, but you would need to call for a reservation in advance or go for a glass of wine to wait.
A great spot to have a drink outdoors. Sometimes there's a band, always a food truck and corn hole available to play.
Tons of animals in a beautiful setting. Summer farmers markets on the weekends and a great spot to bring kids.
Take a scenic stroll and enjoy all the beautiful flowers of summer.
A go-to spot right over the Stamford border is one of our favorite Italian restaurants. Ask for Rose!
A chill spot to grab a drink and some lunch that overlooks the canal. Outdoor seating available.
Mill River often hosts a ton of events in the summer, but when they're not having a concert you can enjoy a summer stroll through the beautiful trees and pathways. Stop for lunch or a drink after at Villa Italia across the road.
You can't come to Stamford without trying Colony! Whether you haven't been to town in a while, or never have been, Colony is the spot for a thin-crusted pie and a cold beer. Outdoor, enclosed seating available.
Delicious burgers, salads and fries with plenty of vegan options available, this is one of our go-tos for a bite near the water. Overlooking the canal from the opposite side of Crab Shell, you can take a stroll along the water and the park. Outdoor seating available.
