Meet Bar Arden: Your New Friday & Saturday Ritual

Bar Arden is the intimate weekend dinner spot that feels like an extension of home.

We hate to play favorites… but we’re going to. If you’ve been craving that low-key, effortlessly cool night-out energy… this is your NEW spot.

Our love for Arden’s in Rowayton runs deep. Chic, serene, and somehow feels like an extension of our own home.

We’ve been missing a cozy weekend evening spot with that effortless, downtown vibe from our NYC days, and this is it. Meet Bar Arden. Book it. Fridays & Saturdays | 5:30–10 PM. Reservations are available on Resy, but walk-ins are also welcome.

The menu is exactly what you want: simple, thoughtful, and so well executed. Think:

• Sourdough with whipped butter & olive oil (add the Castelvetrano tapenade)

• Smoked trout dip + pita chips

• Tuna crudo with blood orange & fried capers

• Classic beef tartare with grilled sourdough

• Baked gnocchi with pork & fennel ragu

• Seared skirt steak with salsa verde & fries

And don’t skip dessert, the chocolate olive oil cake and warm chocolate chip cookie are non-negotiable.

Mocktails for us, and the cocktail and wine list is superb and thoughtful.
