Went here with great friends and had a wonderful evening of good wine and laughter. First time at 55 Degrees, and really enjoyed the room, the sound was not too great for conversation even when the place was packed. The service was excellent, attentive and friendly. We enjoyed a number of the specials, and also felt the wine selection was... More

Food is very average. Service is decent and the space is very nice. We have tried about three times now and would not return as there are better choices in town.

had dinner on a cold Monday night and this was a delight. THere is a prix fix menu which includes starter, main and dessert for 29.00 which is a real treat. Many choices from the ala carte menu and on Sunday/Monday wines are 40% off. Nice decor, three levels but still feels intimate. We hear there is live music on... More

Great setting, delicious menu, attentive service, extensive wine by glass list. My husband and I go often for dinner or just tapas and cocktails. Hip bar crowd after 10pm.

55 degrees used to be really great, but lately, it's been okay. The food is good, but the portions are half what they used to be. Decent bar scene. Noisy restaurant. Service very attentive and good.

Fairfield is currently running Fairfield Restaurant Week. The local restaurants are offering prix fixe lunches and dinners, which give us locals a chance to sample restaurants that we might not otherwise visit. It seems to be working, but Fairfield is a bit of a zoo in the evenings. We tried one of the local restaurants which didn't take reservations, two... More

This restaurant is too large to have a homey feeling but with a good wine list and consistently good food it fits the bill on many nights when smaller restaurants are full.

I had to laugh when I read the reviews from patrons of Fairfield County regarding this restaurant. The problem with those who live there is that any food that they don't have to actually cook tastes great. Small portions, high prices, mediocre food, upscale (meaning pricey), great service and plenty of alcohol (perhaps because it numbs the taste buds and... More

We dined at 55 Degrees last year and weren't disappointed but the fact that we never returned I suppose says something. There was nothing wrong with the food but neither of us had the "Wow" impression. Modern somewhat sterile atmosphere. Large open room.
