Within the last year, The Flying Dish has soared into the downtown Fairfield dining scene.
The college friendly, New York style atmosphere and economical prices make it an ideal place to enjoy all natural meals and tastes from all over the world.
Mita Spilo, the owner of the restaurant, has given students a chance to broaden their horizons and enjoy the dishes from regions of the world that they may have not had the chance to visit, by presenting a menu full of different cultural dishes.
While keeping with the theme of global dining, Spilo keeps the atmosphere comfortable and local.
The Flying Dish makes exotic and foreign holiday dishes to coincide with the traditional foods regularly associated with these different cultural holidays.
The Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday season will feature foods that are both traditional and foreign.
During the summer barbeque months, The Flying Dish promotes different barbeque dinners from around the world.
Spilo, who has her master's degree in business, is pursuing another degree at Pepperdine University.
"As a student and a mother, I believe in the importance of education," said Spilo.
"Here at The Flying Dish, we offer a relaxing social setting directed toward the students."
Thursday evenings are referred to as Energy Nights in which The Flying Dish offers student specials.
Energy Night features $10 meals and a variety of imported and local beers on tap.
"I can get a meal, some drinks, and my wallet won't take a beating," said senior Timonthy Spath.
Energy Nights have been successful for Fairfield University, and now The Flying Dish is looking to accommodate the Sacred Heart University student body as well.
Thursday nights, The Flying Dish looks to provide a relaxing, social, and fun setting where students are free to mingle, and eat.
Although Energy Nights are only on Thursdays, students are welcome any day of the week to eat and socialize in a relaxing atmosphere.
