A delightful experience. Wonderfully unique sampling of courses and each one brought out delicious flavors. We had been trying to get to one of the once/month dinners and it was equally memorable to be able to enjoy it for Valentine’s Day. On our list! Thanks for a wonderful introduction to your dining.

The food was delicious, even memorable. The place was intimate and quiet and the atmosphere unique in that the setting was an elegant store, offering books, clothes, decor. Really fun. And small, so I assume it would never be noisy. The wait person was attentive and cooperative: split a portion of soup into two bowls; responded to a coughing spell with a piece of toast as requested, and let us stay as long as we wanted.

For 2018, the fall lunch menu was very lacking in gluten free and vegan options. In this day and age that is just not acceptable. Even in Italy these are now commonly offered. Ideally these options should be a) on offer (slim at Cafe 47) b) mentioned on the menu (NOT at Cafe 47) c) gosh forbid embraced by the chef as a challenge; to be proud of offering a few great options when a patron needs these. Intriguing options should be thought through and at the ready. There are a few cheese/egg vegetarian options. For the most strict person (gluten free but eats chicken) we had to create something ourselves from very slim options -- we were accommodated -- but result, of course, was so boring. The second person in our party was vegan and did not like the one warm-food option offered on this cold day (pasta with garlic and chili) so she simply gave in and ordered something she would never normally eat. Our server was not only new -- but did not know food in general -- and did not know their menu. Effort was made but he could not answer any question. Perhaps a rough first day for him; understandable but we had to rate the service low for this reason.

The portions are ridiculously small and served without any creativity.. I ordered the corn watermelon shrimp salad which had one minuscule shrimp sliced so thin I didn’t even know I ate shrimp.. cones in tiny bowl with no crackers or bread just this pathetic salad .. my friend had tomato and peach salad so ankh two bites and it’s done.. they really need to up the creativity of the tiny portions so it at least looks like you are getting a little more... dont recommend at all unless you eat like a tiny little bird

What a gem! Everything is perfect at this store/Restaurant. The food is fresh, slightly French and impeccably prepared! The ambiance is welcoming and there are tables and chairs on the porch for outdoor dining. The merchandise in the store is carefully chosen and make for beautiful gifts for yourself or someone else.

Cafe 47 is a lovely small restaurant located in the middle of a quaint boutique. You are encouraged to browse before/during your meal. The staff could not have been nicer and the ambiance is nice for a quiet evening for 2. There were some bigger tables but it is such a small restaurant that a loud group would feel out of place. It is BYOB - which is fantastic and the staff are happy to cork and serve your wine. They provided a complimentary glass of champagne to start which was a very nice touch. The menu is limited and changes every few days. However, there was something for all tastes. My husband loved his Asian spiced calamari but my cabbage salad with truffles and hazelnuts was lacking any taste of truffle (was more of a wet bowl of cabbage). I would say his was delicious, mine was not. For mains, we both had the branzino on a bed of artichoke hearts. He loved his and mine I thought was ok (mine tasted a bit fishy). Both of us enjoyed our desserts (chocolate molten cake and apple tart). So the food reviews were mixed but the ambiance, service and effort get full marks. I just couldn't give a great overall review because of my experience with the food. They do serve high tea and brunch so we would definitely consider going back. Overall I would recommend checking it out - it could have been a one off that my food wasn't excellent.

Our first visit, the food choices and preparation were wonderful. Brought our daughter last Friday and we found both the duck and ribs options a disappointment. The duck was intended to be shredded preparation that was to be made into a wrap with an avocado condiment. The duck was over-cooked, thus difficult to chew. Both the duck and avocado sauce lacked flavor. The ribs were average. There were no vegetable sides. Just ribs on a plate. Actually there were no vegetable sides for the duck or the stuffed lobster our daughter ate. Disappointing. We'll try once more; everybody deserves a mulligan. Hopefully, all will return to prior "glory".

I heard from a foodie friend that this was a great new restaurant that not many people knew about. We were celebrating a birthday and thought why not give it a try? The cafe is situated - literally - inside a small store selling French clothes and small furnishings. All of the food that we ordered was delicious, from the braised pork belly with daikon salad to roasted bass with bean vinagrette. The highlight was the apple tart dessert which was freshly baked to order and topped with a honey vanilla ice cream. The ambiance was the one thing which I had reservations about - definitely not a place for a celebration dinner. I hope that they rethink the dining space as the food is very good.

This is a tiny place - about 6 or 8 tables on the first floor of a 3 story house. I had the tarragon chicken salad offered on a ciabatta roll which I changed to a bed of romaine. Served with a sauce which I had on side. Didn't need. So flavorful - can't wait to go back. The main floor as well as two upstairs floors are filled with lots of nice things/gifts to buy ranging from candles and coffee table books, throws, clothing/shoes, jewelry, pillows...a little bit of everything and of very good taste. Parking is tricky. Only 4 or 5 spaces out back. As long as Outdoor Traders next door is vacant, park there.

Cute dinner spot as part of lower level of store. Complimentary champagne to start, lobster bisque very good, as was the pasta bolognese, steak dish a bit bland. Chocolate cake was tasty for dessert. BYOB, $10 corkage. Menu changes weekly, a bit limited, check online first.

Still off the radar for most because you're dining in a boutique but the food is outstanding and the ambience is like a cozy living room. The chef is top-notch -- if you liked Le Farm in Westport or Napa in Stamford, he's the guy -- just in a more intimate setting. Go before everyone discovers it. Oh, and it's BYOB (with a $10 charge) so bring your good stuff.
