Dining Out: Local Restaurants

A hotspot in downtown Darien, Ten Twenty Post is a festive blend of old and new. Classic seafood dishes and comfort food mingle with culinary creativity — think herbed truffle-oil potato chips and mussels studded with fried capers. The mostly traditional décor (creamy yellow walls, coffered ceilings and dark wood) is punctuated with a few modern accents, like the long, zinc-topped bar.
