    I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to Elm and each time our expectations were exceeded! The food, ambiance and overall vibe of Elm is unmatched! I received a better cut of filet mignon at Elm, compared to any other steakhouse in the Fairfield area! Not to mention the filet was cooked to perfection - exactly as I ordered! The tuna tartare is always fresh and notch above the rest! Finally, I’m a sucker for good ambiance. I love how all the tables are fall, spring, holiday and Fourth of July ready. This place is simply the best!

    This is my second time dining here and it made me wonder why we don’t come more often. The food is unique and delicious, the ambiance is rustic and also unique in the area, and the staff are professional and helpful. I want to return soon and try different dishes, we loved everything we ordered. And tour table of four had one each of the three desserts they had that evening and each was outstanding. Leave room for that baklava!
