For easy access to New York City "without the hassle" of driving into the Big Apple, try this retreat perched conveniently close to the train station in Downtown Stamford (which offers a tempting array of shopping and eateries so travelers can hoof it and "not be bothered with a car" or those "parking fees"); the staff is "consistently friendly and sincere" and rooms are "well appointed", though some have "an odor of cigarettes" despite the no-smoking policy.

"Recommend this hotel to clients with confidence", even if it's "a little tricky to find", nod visiting execs who approve of its "impressive atrium", "excellent fitness facilities", "professional staff" and location "convenient to everything in Stamford" (though non-expense-accounters should beware of the "extremely overpriced restaurant"); rooms are "large and beautifully decorated", but a few feel it's "time to upgrade" their "tiny" baths.

Despite a "warm and inviting" atmosphere and the expected "great bed", this chain choice a short trip from metro New York airports shows "serious signs of wear"; although the staff "worked very hard to keep us happy", carpers charge "run-down" amenities, a so-so restaurant and a "poor" gym and pool leave them "disappointed."

"If the Rat Pack were still around, you'd find them" at this Stamford "steak and fish house" that's "as local as local gets"; "don't expect any drama", just "reliable" fare in "comfortable surroundings" (although some have a cow over the "old-school decor" in "need of an update").

It feels like "Paris in Downtown Stamford (unlikely as that seems)" at this bistro featuring a "small menu without a bad item on it", including "classic" fare like coq au vin; chef-owner Jean-Pierre Bars "takes care of customers personally", whether they're eating alfresco or in the "quaint" dining room, and oenophiles pour in on Sunday evenings when "all the wine – even the expensive stuff – is half-price."

There's "something for a whole family of picky eaters" at the Livanos family's "tony" diner duo in Stamford and White Plains, where the "fancied-up" "feel-good" fare ranges from "breakfast any time of the day" to "terrific burgers" to "fabulous" "giant desserts"; their "kitschy '50s"-style settings are perennially "packed", so be prepared for plenty of "hustle and bustle" and "spotty service."

Owner Maria Marchetti makes the pasta "fresh each morning" and "boy, does it show" at this "old-world-style" Stamford Italian, which dishes up "nearly flawless food" (including "amazing" osso buco) coupled with "impeccable" service; sure, it's "pricey" and can get a "little cramped", but most agree the "only complaint is when the meal is over."

The "friendly staff" really "knows what it's doing" at chef-owner Masanori Sato's long-standing Stamford Japanese, which hooks "sushi lovers" with "the freshest fish in town"; along with "reasonable prices", it's why fans return to the "unassuming storefront" "again and again" for their raw fin fix and shrug off the "almost depressing decor."

"Consistency abounds" at this "old-school" steakhouse chain pairing "well-prepared" chops that "hang off the plate" with "seriously powerful martinis"; "arm-and-a-leg" pricing comes with the territory, along with a "Saran-wrapped presentation" of raw meats (accompanied by an instructional "recitation" by the waiter) – a "shtick" that many find "tired."

"Olé indeed!" bellow boosters of these "tiny", "first-rate Mexicans" in Stamford, Southport and Darien beloved for "spicy, crunchy, fall-apart" pork tacos, "homemade salsas" and "anything with mole sauce"; while surveyers are split on cost ("excellent value" vs. "expensive"), most agree the trio "works best as takeout"; N.B. Southport serves alcohol, while the others are BYO.

A "happy-hour favorite" serving up "decent pub grub" along with an "interesting array of beers", this microbrewery chain is also a "family-friendly" option, with a children's menu that includes "healthy options" that come with "veggies and a toy", and magicians on Sunday nights; the "spacious" digs can get "noisy" and "crowded", and while some find it merely "serviceable", others praise it for "not trying to be more than it is."

"Fabulous wines" "pair well" with the "diverse, adventurous menu" at this "creative" Southwestern in Downtown Stamford, where a "cozy Western motif" creates a "fresh-from-the-Rockies" feel; detractors, though, dis "mile-high prices and up-in-the-air service", with some concluding that it's a "shadow of its former self."

"Get warmed up for the season" at this "above-average" "utility course for all levels", a "well-maintained muni" featuring "open fairways, tight greens" and a "challenging" but "playable" back nine; although it can get "crowded" with "slow play as a result" ("a round can take almost six hours"), it's "extremely cheap for residents" of Stamford, who say the "covered and heated range", "two restaurants and putting area" also add to its "excellent value."
