Wish Cafe in Stamford, CT

Ok, so I work there, but I was curious to see how many people have eaten there and what they thought.

I'm close enough to check it out sometime, but I've never heard of it, is it new? What type of food?

It has been quite awhile since I was there (maybe a year and a half), but I remember it being pretty good. The desserts and appetizers were good, but it's sad to say that I don't remember them. What I do remember was the mushroom raviolis, pretty tasty I'd say. The decor is great.

The food is basically New American, though we try to draw on a lot of influences. Our philosophy is basically to take the best ingredients and pair them in interesting ways without being too esoteric. check out our site here .

The menu on the site is bit out of date, but it'll give you an idea of what we do.

I went there about a year and a half ago when I was living in Greenwich, and my recollection is that it was extremely good. I was not such a fan of the decor. I thought given the quality of the food, it should have a higher profile among Stamford restaurants.

I'm going to try and post some pictures and descriptions of the food as well as the ambience this week sometime. Stay tuned!
