My wife and I strive to be objective when it comes to reviews, but we truly had an incredible experience at Esh for our second wedding anniversary. Choosing this restaurant was one of the best decisions we've made this year. Everything on the food menu was fantastic! The decor and ambiance gave us the feeling of a New York City Restaurant in Connecticut. Our waiter, Vinny, was honest, attentive, and extremely accommodating. The owner even came over to greet us, showing great hospitality and engaging in a genuine conversation. This restaurant made our anniversary feel truly special! We will definitely be back!

10/10 the whole experience from the food to the service! This place was better than we expected! Food was delicious, the ambiance is perfect for a date night, the waiter was informative and attentative. Everything is clean! We were celebrating our anniversary and they sent us a glass of champagne and wrote happy anniversary on our dessert! The brazino was cooked to perfection, the wine was delicious- we had the orange selection, the grandma's biscuit is like a large Ferrero, I'm still dreaming about it! We will be back!

I had the pleasure of visiting Esh Modern Mediterranean at 1401 Kings Hwy, Fairfield, CT 06824, to celebrate Valentine’s Day with my friend, and I was thoroughly impressed! We didn’t expect such a warm reception, and the flavors of the drinks and the incredible decor truly exceeded our expectations. I chose the lamb pot pie as my main dish, and it was absolutely amazing. My friend said the wood burning calamari is the best! I had the Bisquit cake , I have to be back to enjoy one more . The flour used for the dish was special and organic considering the best bread ever and I really appreciate that! The atmosphere was beautifully decorated and very inviting. I would like to extend my gratitude to the waitresses for their excellent service and professionalism, as well as to the chef for the delightful flavors and artistic presentation of the dishes. Thank you to the owner for thinking of every detail to ensure a wonderful experience for your customers! We appreciated!

Fantastic Dinner, incredible food, delicious Passion fruit drink, best waiter ever. Not to mention that it is a beautiful place; it feels like you are in the city, rather than by the train station in Fairfield.

I had the best hummus bowl here in all of Fairfield county. I loved my food. It was so delicious. Can't wait to go back.

A standout Mediterranean restaurant with elevated, intentional flavors for brunch and dinner. The spicy margaritas were perfectly balanced—bright with just the right heat. House-made dips like smoky eggplant and tangy labneh were exceptional, paired with warm flatbread that felt indulgent yet clean. Sauces were thoughtful and nuanced, enhancing every bite. A beautifully curated experience—unhurried, flavorful, and ideal for those who appreciate quality and a touch of spice.

I had a great time at Esh! The Mediterranean food was fresh and flavorful--the grilled octopus was fresh, light, tender, and perfectly seasoned. But the drinks really stood out. They were creative, refreshing, and balanced--definitely some of the best I've had in a while. The waiter was friendly and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending Esh to friends for both the food and the drinks.

Javier was an excellent waiter! The food was perfect! Three of us had two main dishes and two shareable and it was more than filling. We had to take some home. Branzino is the best I have had and same with the humus! Very smooth.

My family and I had an outstanding experience and meal this evening. This was my 7 year old son’s first time at the restaurant and after devouring some flatbread, dips and kids pasta dish he said “Can it get any better than this?. 5 stars end to end.

Esh knocked it out of the park. Vinny was a phenomenal server. Drinks were very good, food was absolutely delicious & the atmosphere was beautiful. This was my first & definitely not my last visit. Highlights were the labneh dip, crispy artichokes, grilled halloumi cheese, red snapper & the silan sundae. Thanks for an amazing birthday dinner!!
