SIGN OF THE WHALE Stamford, CT The mixed use Harbor Point area of
Stamford, one of the largest redevelopment projects in the nation, continues to expand, with luxury apartments rising above restaurants and bars, office space, workout and shopping establishments, several marinas, a waterfront boardwalk, and public parks. Sign of the Whale, a bustling, thriving, early entrant into the local dining scene, continues to attract a crowd with its seafood-focused menu and fine gastro pub fare. A whale of a dining room with floor to ceiling windows, distressed wood paneling and blue lighting is comfortable and bright. Loud and casual, it offers high top tables, low tops, and a bar area. The rooftop bar, overlooking the waterfront, can accommodate an additional crowd of 300, usually young and urban. From the menu, lobster mini sliders, Ahi tuna tartar, chopped kale salad and pan seared octopus are popular choices, with a daily selection of oysters and raw bar. Seafood cavatelli tossed with lobster, calamari, scallops, shrimp, and clams in a rich lobster cream sauce is a pasta lovers delight; pan seared Atlantic sea scallops served over vegetable orzo and finished with a blood orange beurre blanc are tender yet brawny. The 16 oz. bone-in rib eye, beautifully grilled and served with caramelized onions, parmesan steak fries and sautéed spinach will please meat eaters. Enjoy the High Tide Happy Hour, Monday through Friday from 4-7 pm; Jazzy Thursdays featuring live music, $25 bottles of wine and $2 oysters all night long; and a lavish Sunday brunch with bottomless mimosas or bloody Mary bar. 6 Harbor Point Road, Stamford, CT. 203/883-8282 www.signofthewhalect.com
