Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in South Salem

We recently moved here from West Hartford, where there is a strong restaurant presence. Bailey's has scored twice with us. Just great across the board. Limited menu in size only, clearly farm to table, maybe 15 tables, the menu is limited only in that it is seasonal, and reflects the seasons and regional farmers well. The menu is creative, flavorful, and balances each dish, beginner to dessert with purpose. Meats are done beautifully, vegetables are used liberally as a side or in creative sauces or toppings, cheeses are well utilized, and the desserts are great, most recently a blueberry buckle crusted perfectly cinnamon and topped with blueberry compote that could easily fill an award winning pie. Service is great, it isn't inexpensive, but well worth the price. A restaurant that is simple, fun and delicious.

Super-attentive staff and incredible food. Worth every penny for special occasions.

Thanks for such a wonderful evening in the lounge yesterday. The atmosphere, drinks, and pastas were all exceptional. Special thanks to Jennifer, Chloe, and Lenny for taking such great care of us and making the night warm and memorable. Appreciation to the entire team and looking forward to seeing everyone again soon.

An excellent overall dining experience (our second time)! Portion size is appropriate (we had both an appetizer and an entree). I had the octopus--and it was tender and delicious! My husband and I had two different pastas (mine--the stinging nettle and he the duck and foie gras tortellini). Overall, highly recommend!

Incomparable. One of the only places where anything on the menu will be superb!
