Harvest Supper, New Canaan

The dining room is small, the kitchen is minuscule and the menu consists solely of little plates, but one way or another Harvest Supper makes a big impact. Some say it's too cramped for comfort and godawful noisy to boot. Others say, "Who cares, when the food is to die for?"

Caseus, New Haven

Dinner in a cheese shop? Sounds a bit limited but not when you've read the menu. Crab and grapefruit salad with frisée, shallots and pink grapefruit dressing. Roasted organic Bell & Evans chicken with cured lemon and braised vegetables. Fried oysters, zucchini soup, duck, fish, steak. Caseus (kay-see-us) appears to be a fromagerie with illusions of grandeur. We shall see.
