“This is a fantastic restaurant with a diverse menu. Helena was a lovely server. We accidentally forgot a bag at our table, and they were kind enough to have it ready for us when we returned.”
“Had a Celebration of Life for my husband here. Laurie is amazing! She took care of me and every last detail. She couldn’t have been any more accommodating. Everyone of my guests raved about the food . And the setting is beautiful. Highly recommend O’deens!”
“This was my first time dining at this restaurant, and it definitely won’t be my last. The service was excellent from start to finish. Our waiter, Pedro, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, which made ordering easy and enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish exceeded expectations. I also appreciated that the manager was walking around, checking in and greeting guests—it gave the whole place a warm, welcoming vibe. I highly recommend this restaurant! It’s popular, so it’s best to make a reservation in advance.”
“Coals is a great restaurant! The food is absolutely amazing and right next to CT’s best gay bar Troupe429! If you’re looking for good food before a night out Coals is the place to go!”

“Have been back several times and always a great experience. The frozen espresso martini is always a must. The stuffed zucchini flowers are delicious along with the cold seafood salad and the hot/sweet peppers. I ordered the Branzino and it never disappoints.”
“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!”

“Yesterday was an amazing birthday for me as I spent it at Greer Southern Table‼️ Beautiful experience and I loved it🥰 I love how Greer goes around each table and greets her guest with full conversations. My favorite dish was the monkey bread and the chicken was nice and crispy. I hope she whip up that yam sauce we talked about for those egg rolls lol. The place is nice and oh for the ladies who love mirrors she has that right next to the bathroom for pics lol. Thanks for a great birthday brunch💜”
“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.”

“First and foremost, I RARELY give any restaurant five stars. This restaurant earned their five stars; food, service, atmosphere all hit the mark! The food is absolutely delicious. I'm a seafood lover and I must say it's the BEST seafood restaurant I've ever been to. Everything I ate was very fresh and the kitchen definitely know what they're doing. Calamari was crispy on the outside and tender inside. It comes with buffalo sauce, lemon aioli and bamu sauce which is a spicy thin Asian sauce. Clam chowder was creamy, had the usual bacon, clams and celery and garnished with a clam on the shell; great touch if you ask me. The spicy tuna tartare was my favorite thing I ate. It came with papadum chips that were light and crispy (better than potato chips!). The tuna tartare had the right amount of spice that didn't overpower your tastebuds but it let you know you were eating fresh, delicious tuna. The cucumbers added a very refreshing touch to the dish and I loved the wasabi aioli! The hot lobster roll was perfect. Coleslaw was delicious. The steamers are always messy to eat but worth it! I had a mini seafood feast and I was super satisfied leaving the restaurant. I usually finish a good meal with dessert but I had no room. There's always a next visit for that! I didn't try my son's cheeseburger because I strictly wanted seafood but it was cooked medium just how we asked and he said it was delicious. My son is a picky eater so if he says it's good, it's good. Ambiance is very nice. There's indoor and outdoor seating. If you're a sun lover you'd love to be outdoors with the sun shining on you while you dine with a great view of the water and boats. Inside had nice nautical decor. They had a nice bar area with lots of drinks. Our server, MJ, was amazing. He was very attentive to all our needs. It was our first time eating here and we will return because of MJ and the amazing food. Our cups were always full and finished dishes cleared away. I appreciate servers like MJ because it elevates the dining experience. Great food can only get you so far but hard workers like MJ truly magnify a great experience. The restaurant was super packed. They have valet parking and I honestly thought we would wait forever but we didn't. We got in right away and our food promptly came out. MJ made sure we got the food in the order we wanted and we didn't feel rushed or ignored. Again, this is why I'm giving them five stars! If you love seafood, great service and a beautiful view, check them out.”
“So delicious! I had the samosas, dal tadka and bindi masala and loved everything. They have vegan options which are clearly labeled and were even accommodating at making one of the dishes that I wanted vegan that originally wasn’t. Bashir was very kind and helpful with ordering. I’ll definitely be back!”
“My fiancé and I had a wonderful dinner at Bond Grille. Food was amazing and very fresh and the staff were wonderful! They even gave us an after dinner drink on the house. We will definitely go back again and also order take out . A wonderful experience, great atmosphere, excellent food and staff.”
“We love coming to this place. The food is not only delicious but of good quality. the place feels like home: dumplings, hot soups and those fried buns for dessert… 🍜 🥟 😋 Even when the place is packed, it’s worth the wait!”

“I just wanted to share my experience this morning, I decided to get my breakfast from the Donut Delight and ordered a delicious croissant and French vanilla coffee with. The lady at the window was soooo sweet and efficient. Thank you so much for your kindness. It’s true kindness gets back to you 🤗”
“Easy_on_easy_off from exit 16 of i_95 (Connecticut turnpike), drive thru available but no outdoor seating. Plenty of parking on the side and in the rear of the building. There is a dairy queen counter inside this location. The inside space is cozy, comfy and good for groups or for dining alone. Male and female restrooms available inside.”
“This place is definitely underrated. We were driving upstate and randomly picked it, and it turned out to be a great stop. It’s right next to the exit and has plenty of parking spaces. The environment is super clean, including the bathrooms.
Besides the environment, the store is equipped with multiple automated ordering machines, which make it easy to order and customize your choices. We discovered the matcha latte and switched our sandwich to a butter croissant, and they also offered the option to warm our muffins. The food is good and served quickly as well. A very pleasant place to stop by during a road trip!”
“When I walked in, the place was completely packed, drive thru was packed, and take out orders were coming through one after the other. Meanwhile there were only two women working behind the counter. They were both working hard but I was seriously impressed with Camilla. I had to write a review cause I've never seen anyone literally running around from register to register, taking orders with a smile on her face, just on point with it. Not only that, she was even making ice cream and milkshakes at the Baskin Robbins counter. There is still great work ethic out there and she deserves a raise, a bonus and employee of the year..”
“The manager( named- junior) at this Dunkin' location is fantastic! They are professional, approachable, and ensure the team delivers excellent service. It’s clear they care about both the staff and the customers, creating a welcoming and efficient atmosphere. Great leadership makes all the difference—kudos to the manager and the entire team!”
“The food and the atmosphere is amazing! Great drinks, great food!”
“Here for the 25th anniversary of Saint Baldrich’s foundation! Great time!”
“I ordered the Pho King and it was super delicious!!! The broth was flavorful and seasoned, the beef was tender, and the vegetables and noodles were cooked perfectly. All the flavors came together to make a superb bowl of comfort. A shout out to the server, CHUCK, who answered my questions and provided thoughtful recommendations. I'm bringing family and friends next time!!!”

“My favorite place for birthdays and special occasions. The food is always exceptional — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and consistently impressive. They truly understand that dining out should feel special.
I also want to highlight the wonderful woman at the front. She is incredibly hospitable, attentive, and makes multitasking look easy. Wishing this business continued success.”

“Angela Topi took the time from her busy day and treated us to the most wonderful variety of delicious store baked delicacies including the scrumptious chocolate covered cream puff❤️ May I also add my husband (who cant tolerate gluten) has no issues with Wave Hills miche? Incredible! We recommend Wave Hill Breads for all of your baked good needs ❤️”
“They should stop by more often to check the customers. If you don't order a expensive bottle wine they won't check on you very often. But I get it it was a bit busy.”

“This was an A-mazing Halal joint I stumbled upon while getting gas today and will be coming back! The lamb and chicken was robust with a subtle lasting burn experience on your tongue! I am seriously enjoying this gyro...sober!
The staff were great and real guava juice!
A all around!”
“Where do I begin? The customer service was exceptional. The individual at the counter was very friendly, and nice, did not catch his name but I’ll call him the cool guy with the nice beard!!! I asked for two slices after he told me how big 1 slice were, so i opted for one, he still gave me two and a can on top of that… woow that pizza was delicious so far the best for me on Connecticut ave. I been working around here for over a year it is my first time eating pizza at CRUST ISSUES pizza, and won’t be my last…very nice looking place too Highly recommend!!”
“Great staff, great food. Celebre mi boda en este lugar y todo fue excelente. Los recomiendo 100%”
“The food is amazing. I highly recommend this place.”
Cheap Eats
“Stopped here on my 5 hour road trip back home & I have zero regrets! The food was very fresh and tasted amazing. They do only take cash or check, fortunately I had cash on me. However, I don’t think that’s a valid reason to take a star away from the quality of service or food because it was that good!”
“This place is absolutely incredible - the kombucha & the people. I arrived one Friday for a refill only to discover they'd closed early. I'd come a ways to get there so I called to confirm (since I was within business hours) but unfortunately they were closed & I received an apology for the inconvenience. I was bummed but figured I'd try again when I could. Yesterday (a Thursday) was that day, and unfortunately due to my own error, I fought through traffic far outside of my area only to find they were again, closed. I was visibly upset & a man who worked in the building (a true MVP) saw that. He reached out to the owner who authorized a great guy named Alex that was working in the back of the store to help me out. I truly couldn't be more appreciative of them both going above & beyond to assist me. The whole reason I kept returning is bc their product is so great. So many flavor profiles to chose from - if you've never tried kombucha or have had a bad experience in the past, this is the place to try. Couple great flavors with an amazing staff of friendly & knowledgable people - you won't be disappointed.”
“Mom and Pop bagel place. Awesome tasting bagels for a very reasonable price. Place gets very busy. We stopped by around 930am and had to wait about 20 minutes for our food. But, It was worth it. Fresh bagels were being made as we waited. It was cool to see the baking process.”
“I’ve been eating Chinese food pretty much every week now, and usually I’ll order from my usual spot, but today I wanted to try from a new place and came across this place. I called the restaurant asking if they had the things I wanted offered and the person that answered the call patiently answered all my questions then the order was placed and done within 20 minutes. The food was hot and super fresh, would recommend.”
“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.”
“My fiancé and I had a wonderful dinner at Bond Grille. Food was amazing and very fresh and the staff were wonderful! They even gave us an after dinner drink on the house. We will definitely go back again and also order take out . A wonderful experience, great atmosphere, excellent food and staff.”

The service was excellent. The owner who served us was very friendly. Parking was easy. Definitely coming back to try different things on the menu. Great meal!!”
“My best friend and I came to this restaurant for the first time, this evening. First of all, I want to thank Bhanu Oli and his staff for their hospitality and warm welcome. Our dinner included the Everest Pickled Mushrooms which were amazing. Once we bit into the first bite our tastebuds had a burst of happiness- they are flavorful and just plain delicious!!! . If you like mushrooms you will definitely love this dish. We both had the Mix Vegetable Tarkari( Nepali Style- Vegan), Khyber Parantha, the sweet and mango lassi and Moong Dal Halwa for dessert. Delicious and perfectly balanced food! Taste of Everest has a very nice, relaxed atmosphere, wonderful food and exceptionally warm service. We enjoyed everything, that we even bought a gift certificate, to give to another friend and we will definitely be going back. You definitely need to give Taste of Everest a try- you will not be disappointed.”

“Chick-fil-A consistently delivers one of the best fast-food experiences around. From the moment you pull into the drive-thru or walk into the restaurant, you’re greeted with friendly, upbeat staff who genuinely seem to care about your visit. The food is fresh, flavorful, and made with attention to quality — especially their classic chicken sandwich, which remains a standout with its juicy chicken, perfectly toasted bun, and signature pickles.
The waffle fries are crispy and addictive, and their dipping sauces (especially Chick-fil-A Sauce) are iconic. The service is fast without feeling rushed, and the clean, welcoming environment makes it a great choice whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or feeding the whole family.
It’s easy to see why fans are so loyal — consistent quality, great customer service, and tasty comfort food make Chick-fil-A a favorite stop time and again. Highly recommended!”
“I always loved the Guac Time location in Norwalk and especially after they were very accommodating on still honoring my order after I was unable to pick it up due to a snowstorm. Their food is always top notch and they give great portion sizes. Prices are also more reasonable than other spots so this is definitely my go to spot! ☺️”

“Crazy King Burrito is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is amazing… so warm, vibrant, and incredibly family-friendly. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable bringing kids or meeting up with friends.
Alberto truly went above and beyond with his service. He was so welcoming, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. That level of hospitality really makes a difference!
And the food… WOW. Everything was delicious, but the churros were the highlight—perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and just the right amount of sweetness.
We’ll definitely be coming back again soon!”
“this is my favorite place in Norwalk, I come here all the time. I personally have never had a bad experience here. the staff has always been super sweet. I always get an affogato, it’s now my comfort dessert. i recommend this place to everyone i know. i’ve been to italy twice and this is the one gelato spot that actually feels like i’m back in italy. highly recommend!!”
“I had a surprise party here for my friend and planned the entire thing without ever being there and Janell made it perfect!! Food was 10/10 service was beyond my expectations and went above everything I could’ve asked for!!! Can’t Recommend this establishment enough!!!”
“The Chocobana ice cream shop is a Dominican treasure in Norwalk and I am so happy I found you Yeni!
The food we ordered for our school was amazingly delicious and the cake was absolutely excellent. The food was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care—every bite was satisfying and well-balanced. The presentation was beautiful, and the quality exceeded expectations.
The cake was the highlight: moist, rich, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. It’s the perfect Dominican cake. You can truly taste the freshness of the ingredients, and the texture was just right. It was the perfect ending to an already wonderful meal.
Thank you, Yeni for the wonderful service, hospitality, and amazing food.”
