At Elm, chef Brian Lewis is committed to serving elegant meals that utilize seasonal, traditional ingredients. Consequently, the menu at this New Canaan restaurant features dishes like Maine halibut served with cauliflower, fennel marmalade, and vaudavan curry and duck breast roasted with juniper berries and accompanied by pine nut crumble and chanterelles. If everything on the menu looks good, you might try ordering the chef's seven-course tasting menu, which will allow you to try smaller portions of many different flavors and preparations.
Keep in mind that the timing of your visit matters: with separate menus for lunch, bar dining, brunch, and dinner, Elm offers a number of different culinary experiences from which to choose. Across all the menus, however, the restaurant's combination of rusticity and elegance has earned Elm quite a bit of local buzz, so expect the restaurant to be full when you visit.
