“We hadn't made a reservation but Lucia was super accommodating. We love eating here as it has a bustling vibe, like a New York bistro. Food, as always outstanding and atmosphere first class. Cannot wait to return.“

“The food was delicious, service was great too! Really good drinks 🍹“

“My family and I were visiting family in Norwalk and were referred to Greens on the Go in New Canaan. We had an absolutely wonderful experience! The food was delicious. I personally enjoyed the Spring Bowl with Tofu, which was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I also tried the Pitaya Island and it was an absolute must-try – such a delightful treat! The owner, Alyssa, is very friendly and was an absolute pleasure to meet. Her warm hospitality made our visit even more special. If you're in the area, Greens on the Go is definitely worth a visit. We will be back for sure!“

“Great food and great service!“

“GREAT spot!! Had a delicious avocado wrap with BBQ sauce instead of honey mustard, and got fries: they were to die for. Love the seasoning they put on them. Can’t wait to go back and try other menu items. Was my first time going - staff was friendly & efficient.“

“I went to this location for the first time and had breakfast. The service from Sean was excellent and the food was delicious. For some reason a couple of side dishes came out well before the main meal but overall it was not that big of a deal. I have never experienced that quite like that before. The experience and the ambiance were very nice and I plan on returning again.“

“Amazing place that really takes care of their customers!“

“This is my new favorite caffe! The sandwiches are incredible, they have a great coffee and tea selection, they have pastries, AND they have gelato! Everything is so good, and the ambiance is amazing. The staff are all incredibly kind and attentive, too. I love this place, 5 stars for sure.“

“Food is delicious! Went for dinner best burger in town! Meatloaf yummmm“

“We both had the caesar salad and the flank steak sandwich, which was delicious. Thank you for supporting Westport-Weston Chamber of Commerce Restaurant Week. We will be back soon!“

“314 Beer Garden was amazing for my 40th high school reunion. Jackie worked with me on a layout and prices that were amazing. George was there to oversee the food that we had ordered and was extremely attentive. The bartenders that we had that night in our area were amazing and personable. And last, but not least the kitchen staff pumped out great food which everybody enjoyed. The fire was roaring and the band was amazing. 10 out of 10 would recommend!“

“They let you bring your dogs indoors while you drink and snack on food!!! That alone deserves a 5 star. Our guess was that because they opt to prepare food outside and keep drinks inside, they would create this paradise for dog owners.

We ended up getting delicious fried chicken, double patty bacon burger, onion rings, and a fruity alcoholic drink.

Bathroom was spotless and service was relatively fast and food delicious. Definitely a great place to bring your furry family member while you snack on a treat.“

“The food was absolutely delicious! We had Calamari, Veal Romano and Chicken Parm. All three dishes were some of the best Italian food I have ever had. The service was excellent. There was not one negative thing at our visit.“

“I had an event last week at Nod Hill Brewery in which we hosted over 50 international colleagues. We had a tour, a tasting and an awesome BBQ dinner from Walrus Alley! We topped the night off with Karaoke. They did such a fantastic job - I highly recommend NHB for your next gathering! I know I will be back ;)“

“My fiancé and I had an incredible experience at Siena for dinner. We were celebrating our anniversary and our server, Corey, made sure to pull out all the stops to make it a special night. We thoroughly enjoyed the environment which was upscale and fun. The food and drinks were outstanding! We were blown away by the attentiveness of all the staff and the flavors of our dishes. 10/10 would recommend!!“

“Best food truck in Connecticut! Delicious food and amazing workers. 10/10“

“Had delicious avocado toast with eggs and cinnamon latte. Also just purchased a surprise bag on Too Good toGo to pick up later. The lounge downstairs is comfy!“

“I will always recommend the tater tots as they are perfectly seasoned and will never be soggy the way they package them. But my new obsession is the brownie sundae I want the recipe to the best brownie ever!“

“Loved this brewery!! Cute, clean space. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite empty. We have a CT beer passport book that brought us there. Parking lot was a good size and easily accessible. The staff was so sweet and attentive. Seating was open and they served you at the table. A handful of beers on tap with a mix of options. They have a full menu and my boyfriend and I had the tacos - chicken and pulled pork, which were both delicious! Great sized portions. We also loved their logo, super cute design. I would love to see their space busier on a Saturday afternoon! If you drive by, consider stopping by for some great vibes.“

“This place RULES! The decor and vibe are on point - straight up modern chic done just right. Think urban brick, wood, industrial metal chic. Nicolette is very friendly and a great conversationalist who loves talking about the beers and is very knowledgeable. The beers are absolutely stellar. We did two IPA flights and they all had their own unique deliciosity. The bar stools are actually comfy (rare for me cuz I have a bony bottom). They also have live music, are family friendly, and have clean chic bathrooms!“

“We had the most wonderful evening at Bar Vera. Nancy and Kiria were so kind, attentive and welcoming. Our favorites were the fried halloumi, the kofte meatballs, and the best baklava I’ve ever had. One of the coziest date night spots in Stamford. Cannot wait to come back here ASAP!“

“Best ice cream in the US“

“Recently stopped in for cocktails after a weekend event at the Westport Library, conveniently across the street. We did not eat, but the staff was very friendly, attentive, and thoughtful. Carlos, our bartender, made great recommendations that were spot on, and he even brought us a specialty cocktail to try on the house. Chef Renato was also very engaging and generous, he offered us a tasty bite simply for the joy of hospitality. The wood-fired Neapolitan style pizza looked delicious, definitely want to try it next time!“

“We went for the second time on a Wednesday where they have the tasting menu with wine pairings and it was exquisite but a couple of the portions were very small, especially the scallops. But we look forward to doing it again well on the next special occasion.“

“Wonderful dinner experience last evening. The food is delicious and although the place was packed, we never felt rushed to finish. Instead, we were thanked multiple times for visiting and the entire staff was warm and friendly. We will be back!“

“Great healthy food very friendly great atmosphere authentic Japanese food the Roman chicken was amazing ❤️❤️❤️ recommend it big time“

“This place just gets better and better. I’m a regular and with good reason. The kitchen is creating steady stream of new dishes that are ridiculously tasty, and healthy. And the front of house staff are superb! They’re just getting started…..“

“The best hot dogs, hand-cut fries, battered onion rings, burgers, and even stuffed squash blossoms in the area. There's no arguing it. It's phenomenal. Affordable, too. Pro tip: when they have their fresh veggies and fruits, get the nectarines. Best you'll ever have!“

“Beautiful place for outdoor dining!“

“Always a great experience and always great food! I love this place! ❤❤❤“

“This is the best spot for lunch. i grew up in the restaurant business and it’s hard to find a place that has great food. This place is the best for lunch in Norwalk. Great size portions. Great flavors. Very friendly owners and staff.“

“We stopped here during a road trip and it was so delicious! Their lunch specials are amazing - we enjoyed special rolls and classic rolls. I loved the spicy yellowtail roll. Our daughter had her favorite pan fried gyoza here and they gave her chopsticks for kids and a lollipop after the meal. It was a beautiful restaurant and very family friendly. The service was excellent and the sushi was fantastic - we’ll definitely stop during our next road trip! Thank you for a delicious meal.“

“Look what I just found in my salad from Papa Joe’s - much #love as always!“

“Staff was incredible at a very crowded event, will definitely come back to try the foods.“

“The best Italian food in Fairfield and Westchester County.

Italian-American hot food classics made from scratch every morning (like chicken scarpiello, eggplant parm, sausage & peppers, tons of vegetables) all bursting with real flavor and cooked with the finest ingredients and extra virgin olive oil.

The market itself feels old-school and designed with a great attention to detail… fresh mozzarella, imported meats and cheeses, pastas, desserts, cannolis, gelato are all here.

What makes it special is the people. Orlando, Jonathan, Oscar, and the whole crew run this place with heart and serious pride in their craft.

I’ve been coming bere 20 years. Their catering’s incredible too, it wins over rooms.“

“Amazingly good food! My husband and I were in Norwalk, CT for a wedding and the following day we were looking for a "brunch" place before heading back to Middletown, CT. Did a Google search and saw the reviews for Herb's Place. While it wasn't the sit down we were thinking of, I'm really glad we went. The food was SO good! We'll definitely go back if we're ever in that area again.“

“Fabian is absolutely amazing. Great service and the food is absolutely AMAZING! Visiting around town, took our company out to get burgers and wow. By far the best burger I have ever had. The team orders wings as well and all the food was so good! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food! Definitely coming back when I visit this area.“

“Cozy atmosphere with good food and excellent service“

“This place is both amazing and delicious! We had a variety of dishes liek Szechuan dumplings, curry noodles, shrimp tempura, soup, crunchy spicy sushi, etc. ALL WERE AMAZING!! Service was really good and very homey atmosphere with high quality ingredients and served with a smile. Loved it!! 5 STARS!!“

“Ooooooooooh yeeaahh!! Been waiting for a place like this to come local! It's finally here and it's excellent! I order from this joint at least once a week. Love some lamb over rice. Keep it coming because we love it!“

“Fabulous place fabulous food fabulous staff fantastic time“

“First time trying it today and lord it is so delicious!! I’m a huge poke bowl lover and I have pretty high expectations when it comes to quality poke bowls and this was delicious! Salmon was so fresh, all the ingredients were delicious and very fresh. Don’t hesitate lol js come and grab a bowl- the avocado is my own tho!! Pretty affordable price I’d say nothing too crazy it was abt 16 bucks for my bowl“

“Great food/ staff. Definitely a destination to dine“

“Stopped in for a strawberry banana smoothie, 5 stars! Great service, great friendly atmosphere, and workers very knowledgeable about the product! Will be returning!“

“Prices have gone up, I was charged $3 for a chicken taco yesterday and the menu no longer has prices. Fantastic food, cleanliness / hygiene less than desirable (cook was wearing sleeveless t with no hairnet) but you’re eating from a truck in an autobody shop 🤷🏻‍♀️“

“I stopped by Caribbean Bakery & Mini Mart for dinner and went straight for their oxtail with rice & peas and veggies. The plate was huge, and you could smell the seasoning before it even hit the table. The oxtail was flavorful, tender, and coated in a rich sauce that really pulled the dish together. The rice was fluffy, the peas earthy, and everything had that authentic homemade Caribbean taste.

If I had one wish, it would be for the oxtail pieces to be a little meatier — because the flavor had me wanting more. Portion-wise though, they don’t skimp, and everything tasted fresh.

Service was straightforward, the spot has that local charm, and it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re craving real Caribbean flavor in the area. One heads-up: parking can be tough, especially earlier in the day, so plan ahead.

I’ll be back!“

“Cozy cafe in the heart of downtown Stamford with such a relaxing ambience. The colors, decor, abundance of outlets, and strong Wifi make this an ideal study spot. On top of that, the service is excellent and the food is delicious! A variety of snacks, desserts, drinks, and meals. Highly recommend.“

“Great location in a lively, redeveloped section of Stamford. We had an event with a fixed price menu and each course was amazingly good. Come hungry, because they give you a lot of food. Apps, salad, pasta and main courses were all wonderful. Great service and a great view of the harbor. Not sure if it is open to the public, but if it is, check it out.“
