Roger Sherman Inn

Our residents at Atria Darien loved going to lunch at Roger Sherman Inn. The atmosphere was warm and cozy on the afternoon we went. The menu was varied and fulfilled everyone’s differing tastes and palates. While we were a group of 10, that didn’t seem to matter to the wait staff– our food was served promptly. We will definitely go back!

Not a place I would recommend staying. The room in the carriage house was horrible; you entered by the service kitchen dumping area. Bugs in the bathroom and a huge carpet stain that look like the floor had been flooded. No heat. Felt like you were in a basement. Everything dirty and rusty.

Went for lunch — great meal and excellent service. Reasonably priced, fresh, lovely outdoor seating. A great spot for rejuvenating lunch hour. Hazelnut mousse must try. ;)

I have so many good things to say about the restaurant and it’s staff but I will keep it short except to say that as a frequent restaurant diner, this is my favorite place to eat. The ambience, the food, the waitstaff, and the people are why my husband and I choose to come here every Friday night. I have never had a bad meal here and my husband is a very fussy eater. They are extremely accommodating if there is something you might not like that is included with an entrée. They have made it a delight to visit this beautiful restaurant on our Friday night date night. We have also met other diners like ourselves who frequent R S as we do and have made lifelong friends. It is our «home away from home». We cannot understand how anyone couldn’t have the same experience.

Really disappointing. Had been a regular diner here, and specifically called in advance to schedule a dinner for my parents anniversary/​birthday dinner. Called in advance to give my card information, and to request they receive a menu with no prices/​no bill. With an empty dining room, they were sat at the bar, brought menus with prices, and no one had a clue it was to be paid for already. It became an entirely awkward situation which was the opposite of what I had wanted. Not to mention the food wasn’t great, and the wine was so bad it had to be returned. Called the manager to give feedback, he never called back. Really sad to see what happened to a once very special place.

What a beautiful venue! I had the lobster which was cooked to perfection and my husband had the sole which was also amazing. He said he hasn’t had sole prepared that well since the jockey club in white plains back in the 80s!
We sat in the bar area and they had a great musician playing the keyboard. The crowd was lively and friendly. We even danced.
I highly recommend this elegant yet comfortable and welcoming place! Can’t wait to go back and sit out on the patio next time

My husband and I stayed here overnight. We had a good experience, but I wouldn’t say it was great. Our room was beautiful but lacking in amenities considering the price. There were no robes, and the snacks were not complimentary. The bathroom was also very small and drafty. We had to leave very early in the morning, so I understand that we would miss breakfast. However, I was disappointed that they didn’t even offer to pack a small breakfast to go – not even a bagel! I realize this is asking for additional services, but for the price I would have expected a little bit more. Overall the Roger Sherman is very pretty, but I felt like I wasn’t staying at a B&B just another hotel.

I was disappointed.
It was expensive, crowded, drafty and the food was just fair.
Clearly, this is a place that has lost it way.
Nice Christmas decorations however.

Very good food and nice atmosphere. Live music on Sat night was good. Sit in the Lounge area. Front porch looks like a nice place to sit in the warmer months.

5 stars for one of the employees there, Brianna. Amazing customer service … could not have had a better experience working with her.

We have been dining at the Roger Sherman Inn for thirty years. The current management both kitchen and waitstaff are the best they have ever had, which makes them very good.
They had Bouillabaisse as a special on the menu. I hesitate to order in most restaurants, because the fish is usually overcooked and tough. This was superb. My dinner started with a delightfully fresh Tuna Tartar. My companion started with an excellent smoked salmon followed by delicious short ribs that were fork tender.
The service was perfect and unobtrusive. A marvelous dining experience.

Went here for a family event and we had a very nice time. We were in one of the private rooms which had its own fireplace. Can’t say anything about the cost or range of the menu, but everything we had was good and the service was good. One thing that was apparently sub-​par was the vegitarian option, according to my cousin, but the other things were great, and I esspecially liked the duck.

Their breakfast muffins are just the right size, and are scrumptious.

Visiting family… stayed in a room in the «Carriage house» … horrible room for the price with roaring window AC view of the dumpster. Tacky interiors. Its amazing how people put window AC in a one window room. claustrophobic…Needs makeover. No information about services, wifi, breakfast etc.

best food an service drinks are wonderful, love this place, an all the people mark errico

Roger Sherman Inn’s restaurant is an establishment in a colonial-​era inn and a traditional, historical destination for New Canaan-​ites and other Fairfield County folk.
Service is impeccably white tablecloth — attentive crews of well-​coordinated wait-​staff are deployed to serve each table as if you were the only customers in the entire inn, even if it’s packed to the colonial rafters.
Coming here for a prix fixe brunch invites you to explore the varying brunch menu as prepared by the chef. The «Crêpe complete» was a crisp origami of ham and Gruyère cheese. A foie gras appetizer is generously portioned and buttery without the salt-​shock and is paired with toast.
Like the prix fixe menu, the dessert menu will likely have something for everyone in your pair or party. An apple gratin offered on the day of my visit is a nice «crustless» cobbler, skipping the pastry shell straight for the good stuff: the baked apple chunks buried beneath the ginger ice cream.
The dining room can accommodate everything from cozy corner tables for two to large post-​Sunday church service crowds to entire wedding receptions. Parking immediately on the property fills up fast — there is also a large lot across the street – just look both ways and cross gingerly as the traffic on the straight-​away that is Oenoke Ridge road can be quite the high-​speed parade of SUVs and Mercedes.
Prix fixe menus are upwards of $ 28 per person, not including drinks or coffee or dessert. The prix fixe brunches vary from $ 28 and up – the menu varied by the chef on the day of your visit. Some items, like the foie gras appetizer, come at an additional $ 6 upcharge. Mimosas are $ 11 each. The apple gratin dessert was $ 12.

Just a so-​so experience. For the money ($ 200 + $ 80 for a cot), I’d have hoped for a nice room and a better breakfast. Looks like the hotel could use some TLC.

Went for their Sunday brunch. Brunch was very nice — the waitstaff were excellent, plates cleared promptly etc. The food was very good, I had the eggs benedict and everything was perfect. It does have the feel of being popular among the retirees. Brunch is a 3 course fixed price (35) and the desserts were by far the most lacking.

Used to be great. Had many a Xmas Eve dinner there.
Now good for post-​funeral food or out-​of-​towners trying to impress their friends by having a wedding reception on the porch.
I believe it is also used for Kiwanis meetings.
Kinda lost its charm and taste.
