“My husband and I recently hosted our baby shower for our first baby at Flinder's last weekend (3/21/26), and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. We hosted roughly 55 people and utilized the entire restaurant for our private event (restaurant buyout). From the onset, Ross and Eric (Mgr. + Assistant Mgr.) were incredibly friendly, responsive to all my questions via email, and agreed to meet not once, but TWICE in-person to ensure all details were accounted for, and that our requests would be accommodated. The event ran smoothly because of their professionalism and attention to detail. During the event, the kitchen, bar, and wait staff were incredibly attentive, kind, friendly, and honestly felt like part of the party the entire time. Our family and friends raved about the entire experience, including the service, the food, and the configuration of the space. We left smiling from ear-to-ear, and are incredibly grateful to everyone at Flinder's for helping to make our baby shower a great success!“

“Our first time there and it was a wonderful experience. Saturday brunch on the upper deck (didn;t hurt that the weather was absolutely perfect). The wait staff was attentive without being overbearing and all four of us loved our food! (tuna tartare, burrata and the cheeseburger.) Must give an extra shout-out to their salt & pepper fries - they were over the top delicious - all four of us agreed on that! We'll be back!“

“and yet another great place to eat in Norwalk, Connecticut ... Don Carmelo's Mexican Grill & Tequila Bar excellent restaurant... beautiful decor... outstanding service... and the food perfection 👌... and the margaritas are to die for had 2. 1 Passion Fruit and the 2nd coconut/ pineapple“

“we had everything from 5 different appetizers, to four entrees and 5 different desserts. We go out to eat all the time but have never gone here. So we tried it, the restaurant itself is gorgeous. The servers were very friendly and professional and on the ball. The food omg. What can I say it was magnificant. The manager came around and made sure everyone was happy, then the owner Danny came in and introduced himself. This is the best restaurant we have ever been to with the best food we have ever tasted. As I said we eat out alot but nothing compares. Hats off to all the staff and the owner. Well done. Cant wait to go back.“

“The chef here is a true artist, every dish that comes out is thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. You can tell there's real passion and skill behind the menu. The lighter, health-conscious options are a standout fresh ingredients, clean flavors, and dishes that make you feel good while still being completely satisfying. One small request, more ukrainian inspired dishes( or dedicated day of ukrainian cuisine) would be a great add!“

“Excellent place to see the 4th of July fireworks.

“Our favorite restaurant, we go there every week or so!“

“Our first experience with this restaurant and we went during restaurant week on the last Saturday night, needless to say we were very happy! This is a gem on High Ridge road I wish I had discovered sooner. Menu selections are excellent and their offerings for restaurant week were wonderful, also a nod for honoring the promotional menu on a Saturday night which apparently isn't easy to find. Portion sizes of appetizes: Caesar salad, escargot and mix green salads all wonderful. Entrees of Chicken parm over linguini, Roasted Pork Chop and Crispy Skin Salomon all were of generous size cooked to perfection and very well seasoned. A bit more of the wonderful marinara sauce would have been great for the chicken parm. Service was a bit delayed as they were very busy, but our server was always wonderful, pleasant and very helpful! Overall experience truly outstanding and we are looking forward to visiting again and partaking in the full menu. Once again, I am happy to have discovered this restaurant which is partly what I enjoy restaurant week for...trying new places. I encourage you to try The Ridges as well!“

“Had dinner following my daughter’s graduation and everything was nothing short of excellent. We were seated promptly by a very friendly hostess. Our server was great and on top of everything. We have allergies and he went above and beyond to review the menu ensuring our meal was perfect. Food was excellent!! We will definitely be going back and would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a great meal with superb service.“

“Absolutely fine experience!

We had a dip, a burger, and a salad, which were all beyond our expectation. I would use the term 'fine' as they were all compelling. Lastly, our server Anna showed what true hospitality is. We feel so welcomed and relieved to be hassle free during our moments here. The only drawback was that train never passed while dining and our daughter was a bit disappointed 🫠“

“Wonderful cuisine by Chef Ben Freemole ! The place is delightful, the perfect escape after a busy day in the city. Will be back!!“

“Muy buena atención recomendado“

“I love this restaurant. Harrison and Blue were my bartenders. They were amazing. The food was even more amazing. I’ve had chicken Scarpiello in 50 restaurants before and I have my favorites but their Pork Scarpiello was the best I’ve ever had! The cherry peppers were chopped by hand. That’s quality. Wonderful staff and excellent food! I wish 90% of restaurants could put this type of effort in. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone!“

“Absolutely fabulous restaurant for brunch, dinner, drinks, and events!! Highly recommend!!“

“My wife and I just had dinner at the farmhouse at the crossroads!! great professional staff, great entertainment, food, absolutely delicious, be back many more times love this place!!“

“Catering Party @ Sally’s Apizza Fairfield On Saturday September 13, 2025, we celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary. The food, service and staff were phenomenal. We all know how great the pizza is, but the appetizers and salads were equally great. I can’t say enough about the wonderful servers, Dan and Brandon. There were efficient, kind, friendly and polite. They went out of their way to insure everyone was having a great time. The bartenders and other staff went a long way to help make everyone enjoy the party. I also want to thank the General Manager, James Layfield and the Catering Manager, Helen Blanchard for their exceptional service and hospitality. Sally’s Apizza @ Fairfield deserves a 5 star rating for making our event the success it was. Thanks so much“

“I went to this restaurant (Stamford) on January 24, 2016. On this day I ate a churrasco with sweet potato fries and white rice. I have to say that the food is one of the best I ever tried and the value made overall experience a greater one. My wife loved it too! Will definitely come back based on this one experience.“
