My husband and I typically go to P.F. Chang's when we shop at Bridgeport. After a movie, we saw the full bistro-style patio at Split and decided to give it a try. We sat at the bar and chatted with Rachel, whose impressive wine knowledge turned us on to a tasty Barbera we'd not tried before. We ordered the calamari (Yum!) and a table opened up on the patio before it arrived. For dinner, I ordered the serared ahi tuna salad and my husband ordered the NY Strip Steak. This was the best meal we have enjoyed in some time. The steak was prepared perfectly and the ahi was better than I have had at popular sushi restaurants. Our patio server was full of smiles and attentive to our needs. We split a braquetto and brownie for dessert. Delicious! What started as a quick bite turned into an all evening event. We befriended the table next to us and a live swanky jazz band arrived, creating a great ambiance. Split is our new favorite place. The wine list, the menu, and the great service have earned Split our first 5 star citysearch restaurant rating and will be the only place we ""dine and drink"" in Bridgeport in the future.
Pros: Service, Ambiance, Food
Cons: Patio is small and first come first serve, so you might want to make a reservation
