Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Darien

My husband & I love Neat Kitchen + Bar so much that we held out wedding reception here a few years ago. Tonight was the first time that my husband and I have been back to the restaurant since we lost our friend, the owner, Matt, back in November. Well, we truly could feel his spirit here tonight as we celebrated Valentine’s Day. We had a table in the room where we had our first dance as a married couple. We enjoyed their Valentine’s Date Night menu which had Prime Rib as one of the entree choices (which is one of the entrees we severed for our wedding.) Everything was absolutely perfect, just as Matt would make sure it would be, this is still one of my very favorite restaurants, and anyone who knows me, knows that is a very short list that is hard to get a spot on. Make sure if you stop in you ask for Ronan as he is the most perfect server for such a delightful meal. Their cocktails are always fantastic as well, I would recommend the Spiced Pear Martini or the Sunset Serpent. The Neat Burger is one of my favorite burgers of all time. For dessert I would recommend the Crème Brulé!!! Always perfect!!! And honestly they have the best Carrot Cake EVER!!!

This place is a gem and they have by far, some of the best food in the area. The ribs are PHENOMENAL and everything else on the menu is fantastic, but also very affordable. The ambiance is excellent as well and the staff are extremely friendly and enthusiastic.

We had a wonderful time at Grand Duke's. We went for Valentine's Day and they had it decorated so nice. The food was delicious and the band was awesome. Highly recommend the restaurant.

Was a very nice venue. Great food. and staff was very nice!!!! Will be going back for sure!!! Great place in Downtown Westmont. All locals should support this restaurant - we need little places like this

I very nice Valentine's day meal for both of us. The food was great the beer was fabulous and Antonia's service was exquisite.
