Darien Social Brings Back the Classic American Bar and Restaurant From an Era Gone By. The dining room walls are adorned with vintage black and white photography that depicts the carefree attitude of the 1920s and the resolute of a nation during the prohibition years. The décor speaks to Darien Social’s approach and commitment to providing their guests with a place from which to hang their hat. Darien Social is led by a team of seasoned restaurateurs and savvy wine and spirits devotees. Chef Bilello has created a menu that takes its cues from tried and true favorites we all love to eat, and unfamiliar foods we must have again and again because there’s just nothing else like it around. When possible, Darien Social sources their food locally – utilizing a bounty of New England grown produce, farmed raised meat and poultry, fresh seafood, and local artisan products.
