Esh Modern Mediterranean Fairfield Reviews
Food was amazing.
Super delicious. Was a little pricey and hard to get a reservation- so book in advance!
Esh was sooo good.
The food, the ambiance, the staff, the customers, the owner. All of it. I highly recommend to try this spot.

Totally lost their edge food was bland no taste used to be so delicately flavoured! Must have changed chef or something
Yikes.
Ok I get it - it's beautiful and the ambiance is through the roof but at what cost? I'm all for spending my hard earned money on a fantastic dining experience but unfortunately Esh fell short. Most of the entrées were just "ok"
Modern atmosphere yet homey and chill.
Delightful staff and the food was spectacular. We ordered many small dishes to sample and it was exactly right for the 3 adults. So much flavor. Wish it was closer to home!!!

Came with a few friends that live in the area and we really enjoyed all the small plates which we shared along with several of the cocktails. Highlights were the burger, which had a very appealing Mediterranean flair to it with pickled onions and se
Esh?? Better eh!
“Esh” in Hebrew means fire, thus the flame motif found throughout the restaurant. A more apt name would be “Shemen” or oil. It seems a drenching of oil on virtually everything is the thing here. And it doesn’t work out well. The roasted cau
Very tasty dips and flat bread.
Good beer. Good service. Nice atmosphere. Shishito peppers were delightful. Bad buns were ok.
Beautiful space, excellent service, and wonderfully fresh

The food here is amazing! I came last night to celebrate my friend's birthday, and everything from the service to the atmosphere was great. I loved the vibes and the aesthetic of the place. Almost all of the appetizers were fantastic--there were
Quality food and service but hard to hold a conversation
Interesting menu and quality fare. Service is attentive. Row of tables too close together and loud music hampers conversation and hearing one another. Otherwise the atmosphere is attractive. Prices are high.
DELICIOUS AND SUBLIME, 5 STAR MEAL!
Our party of 4 was amazed at how delicious every single dish was at Esh. There aren't enough superlatives to describe how flavorful everything is! The Esh flatbread was pillowy and warm, we fought over who got the last piece and ended up orderin
Go for the hummus!!!! great date night place
The hummus is out of this world. I ordered three and it wasnt enough. If I could make a secret society of hummus enthusiasts, this would be the first place I would take them to lavish in truly delish hummus.
Great Food, New restaurant early in the learning curve.
The kitchen is doing a great job. Out front they are very early in the learning curve. Expect spotty service but you will enjoy the food.
Service was excellent and the food was even better.
We will be back again and again and again...to work our way through the menu. Freshly made pitas hot out of the wood burning oven! It was that good and we live an hour or so away.
Food is always great, as is the atmosphere.
However, parking is awful. And Esh supposedly will validate parking, But when we went to use the validated ticket, it wouldn't work. Looked like we weren't the only ones with the issue.
As long as you don't mind a noisy restaurant, this place is
As long as you don't mind a noisy restaurant, this place is fantastic. Food is delicious and creatively executed. Service is very good. Portions are generous. I've been back several times.

When to Esh after hearing all the hype The environment was good, but a little loud The food was tasty and arguably a little over seasoned which I wasn't in the mood for I'll try it again

I have mixed feelings about what I want to say about this experience at Esh. We've eaten at Esh several times and have always had a great meal and a good time. However, during this visit, something happened that started the evening off on a very sour
This place has a lot of potential but they are too greedy
This place has a lot of potential but they are too greedy with the price. If you order the dips like hummus, etc. they only give you this small flat bread that is definitely way too small to finish the dips with. So if you order another piece of brea
This was a phenomenal experience - the bread with the dips
This was a phenomenal experience - the bread with the dips is to die for. The burger, lamb dish, and the fish dishes we tried were great as were the desserts. Can't say enough good things about this place.
Absolutely delicious.
Amazing decor. Waist staff is on point! Get the steak skewer and the burger!!
Amazing food in Cool Fairfield Restaurant.
Fantastic sophisticated meal at Esh last night. Easily the best food in the town. Excellent service and friendly atmosphere. Interesting options abound. We had three messez for $25 which were outstanding and came with an amazing fresh cooked read. F

Outstanding food and service in a beautiful and calm environment. The appetizers were amazing. We especially enjoyed the dips.
We came here for a birthday dinner.
I was excited to try something new! The restaurant is gorgeous! The service was a bit slow but we were not in a rush so no big deal and it was also very busy so it's to be expected. Our server was kind, as were the helpers. The experience here was de

Was worried it seemed a little too much of a scene for me, but hot damn the food is good! Lives up to the hype. Friendly staff - which is always nice, especially when it at a hot new restaurant where I have come to expect a bit of an ego - none here,
Food, service, ambiance are all amazing.
We were a party of 4 and shared 2 dips and the octopus as apps. They were shared a fish and meat dish for our r tree. Finished the meal with Nonnas dessert. It's definitely pricey! But worth for a special treat.
We've eaten there three times and it's always been so
We've eaten there three times and it's always been so delicious. Great ambience and interesting menu. Only tidbit I could forget next time is Moroccan Cigars. Otherwise everything we ordered and ate was spectacular. Lovely servers. It's always jammed
Checked all the boxes
The full package. Food’s amazing, especially the flatbread. Tried the feta one and it was the highlight of the night. Also tried the cauliflower, delicious mix of red & white sauces and perfectly cooked. The halibut with gnocchi was delicious t
Delish-esh!
We tried to get a reservation in December--the first available Friday or Saturday reservation was in February--Wow, popular place! Esh is tucked away in an apartment complex of I-95 in Fairfield--once you find it, there's lots of delicious inside.
Dinner
We stopped in for dinner and really enjoyed the experience and food. We did not have a reservation but since we got there early we sat at a communal table which was just fine. The restaurant was really nicely decorated with a large communal table whe
Much better before the hype
This is my fourth time visiting, and I’ll start by saying that I love this restaurant and have recommended it heartily. Today’s comments are because, at last night’s visit, I felt that the experience had slipped, and I believe it’s because th
Be prepared to wait
What happens when you mix an overhyped restaurant with good, but not exceptional, food and arrogant gen z kids at the front who don’t seem bothered by the fact that you made a reservation which has not been honored for over 30 minutes? You have Es
Definitely !
I will start with the main part of this review- definitely GO! I don’t give out 5 stars easily but ESH deserves it. What a great restaurant! The ambiance, food and the service are top notch. The design and ambiance is perfect. We ordered somethi
A taste of the Mediterranean in northern Fairfield County
Very good fusion of Greek, Israeli, North African and Lebanese dishes, incorporating a NY vibe in Fairfield, CT. Our server, Brian, forewarned us that portions are designed for sharing and we enjoyed a wonderful mix of house flatbread that comes with
Modern, stylish venue, with excellent food and service
We came here for dinner tonight, with friends. I was so impressed that I felt like writing this review while the experience was fresh in my mind. First impressions - sleek, modern place with a welcoming atmosphere and a reasonable noise level (some o

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Esh Modern Mediterranean Fairfield at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Esh Modern Mediterranean Fairfield page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FulfilledThread16, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FulfilledThread16 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FulfilledThread16 for any questions Peter may have as FulfilledThread16 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FulfilledThread16 now uses their connections at Esh Modern Mediterranean Fairfield to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FulfilledThread16 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FulfilledThread16 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FulfilledThread16's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Esh Modern Mediterranean Fairfield!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
