And Ashcreek is closed…it couldn’t survive Bridgeport’s economic morass.
When I went to Joseph’s Steakhouse a few years ago it was hyped as Bridgeport’s Peter Lugers. NOT!!!
If you’re looking for an upscale steakhouse, comparatively speaking, go to Texas Roadhouse in West Haven.
Metric is a great place…if you are looking to score drugs or get shot.
Finally a Great Place for Bridgeport Downtown…
Jon,
Great list! Thank you.
There is a new Mexican restaurant in the Arcade, 1001 Main Street downtown Bridgeport. It opened with a soft opening over Labor Day. The owner is Joseppe Cinque. He has two other restaurants in Norwalk. The name is Viva Cantina, Mexican Grill and Bar. The cuisine is moderately priced healthy mexican. The food is made to order. The margarita’s, pina colada’s and sangria are all $5 for his opening period. The food is excellent; Fresh and healthy. The ambiance is great. Open for lunch and dinner. Five stars!
Please add: 1) Tiago’s Restaurant and Bar at 211 State Street 203 873 0282
2) Amici Miei 957 Main Street 203 540 5360
