“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!“

“I’ve found it. The best way to blow through a paycheck over a single breakfast. Espresso and a pastry for $15…. But, somehow, I think I’ll be coming back. Love the communal atmosphere with great big heavy wooden tables and chairs. A number of 4 and 6 tops as well. Bright and airy open feel make this a lovely warm atmosphere to share a delicious espresso and pastry. Espresso was quite tasty but unfortunately served in a tiny paper cup - I guess I should have specified I was eating in. Nice nuttiness and a subtle bitterness and right up my alley. There were so many amazing looking pastries on display i really struggled to decide how to put back on all of the calories I just lost on my Peloton but eventually landed on the Chocolate Chip Cookie Croissant. And - holy smokes - it did not disappoint. The thing must weigh 8 ounces due to it being stuffed with chocolate chip cookie dough and a plethora of incredibly delicious molten chocolate. Incredibly naughty and delicious. Great spot to stop in for a pastry but they also have a larger menu with salads and breakfast specialties in addition to their lovely baked goods. Unreal!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Our 1st time visiting and parking was a bit of a challenge but oh so worth it. We loved the vibe and energy of this area. There are indoor and outdoor seating options with many beverage and food selections. Great place for couples, date nights, or family, friends outings.“

“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!“

“This place is incredible!! I love the atmosphere and the kindness everyone has shown there! Soo excited to get donuts this morning!!“

“LOVE the vibes here! We went as a group with our young kids and there was plenty of room for them to explore, the outdoor area was so nice and the live music was fantastic. The staff was so kind to our kids and made our experience 10/10! Highly recommend!!“

“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 ;)“

“Food and service (thanks Joseph!) were fantastic. Best Italian food we’ve had in the area. It is attached to a hotel so seems a little funny walking in but it’s a beautiful space and the view of the river is very nice. We will be back.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“We did the Wednesday prix fixe menu and it was amazing. It truly felt to be like I was eating art. I don't know the name of the chef, but you can tell they are exceptional. The attention to detail in each dish made it obvious the chef is passionate about what they create. The flavors were unique, the atmosphere upscale yet comforting, and the service was lovely. We had a wonderful time.“

“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!“

“Cozy atmosphere with good food and excellent service“

“We were on a road trip, and looking for a place to stop with our dog. It was raining, so we were looking for somewhere indoors. We were also hoping to find somewhere with food (which can be tricky with a dog and indoors), open a bit early, and if possible, hoped to watch some EPL soccer games. It seemed like a long list of things we were hoping to find, and that we probably wouldn’t be able to find somewhere to meet it all… Then we found this place! Great atmosphere, dog friendly indoor and outdoor, food truck, opened early, AND had tvs with soccer on… couldn’t believe how lucky we were to find this! The drinks, food, and service were great. And to top it off, they had Athletic brewing on tap!“

“Best ice cream in the US“

“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…..“

“Best tres leche cake in the area!“

“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!“

“Dude was very nice. Welcoming of the kids. Enthusiastic about his tasty beer. Worth a stop.👍🏻“

“Crumbl is probably one of the best places to go to when you feel like eating something sweet and sugary. I recommend getting you some cookies from there , the sweet tooth will get to you . But it’s all about the taste and appearance !“

“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.“

“My husband and I are beyond vegan (meaning, as well as not eating animals, we don't eat anything artificial.) It's hard for us to find any good restaurants where we live so we drove 1 1/2 hours to check out Botanika. We were amazed at how delicious everything was...and we ordered 1burito, 2 wraps, 2 pulled jackfruit, mac n "cheese," and two (or three) of every dessert they had! (of course we took some home lol) The chocolate cheesecake was absolutely delicious! The owner and server were completely sweet and friendly. This charming little cafe is filled with good vibes and loving energy. We will definitely be returning.“

“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!“

“TODAY WE WENT TO CWISPY CHKN IN STAMFORD CT #foodlover #foodreview #review #ct #stamford #organic #chicken we ordered the sliders & chicken N waffles there were a few parking spaces in the front & the location is on a corner. My good friend Heaven recommended this restaurant #foodie #crunchy #foryou & my favorite item was the sliders #yummy #viral #shorts“

“homemade ice cream was amazing. love how friendly they were.“

“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.“

“Beautiful place for outdoor dining!“

“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.“

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

“Great food 🥘 great service“

“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.“

“Oggi was raved about by my brother for months! I was so excited to try it and it did not disappoint!
They make the Gelato in house, and they have so many amazing flavors, and exceptional traditional flavors!
I got one scoop of pistachio and one scoop of vanilla (which was before I realized I had missed an entire row of flavors 😢) but that will be my reason to go back!
I did try a few of their flavors including the biscoti/or maybe biscoff one; and it was SO good!!
The kids loved the gelato, and the tables are nifty!
The line gets long very quickly, but the service is fast enough to make it work it. Any wait for this Gelato is more than worth it. MUST TRY!!!
I will absolutely go back here when I am in Norwalk!“

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

“The food. service & atmosphere was fantastic. this was my first visit & I will be back. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

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

“Fabulous place fabulous food fabulous staff fantastic time“

“Great food excellent service great bartender“

“No better place on a beautiful summer day than on the water at The Beer Garden. And we love playing here, great spot for music.“

“Food delicious.
However, there’s no menu which is a little confusing. You just walk in and there’s a counter and you just asked what they have and they make you a plate. The oxtail was straight deliciousness. Tender, flavorful. The plate served was a large portion.“
