Restaurants in Norwalk

“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 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.”

“WOW!!! These cookies are AMAZING!! Delicious, fresh, and huge!!! If you haven't tried these cookies , you are missing out on greatness!!!”

“I had a wonderful Gose in the beer garden on a sunny Saturday with my dog, and couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon. My husband was able to have two tasting flights worth of beers”

“Party of four. Everything from apps to Coffee was delicious. Highly recommend.”

“This place is amazing! One of my favorite local outdoor bars with many different room options. The food is great, and you can never go wrong with their brick-oven pizza. The staff is kind and the atmosphere is one of a kind; live Dj events, love bands on Friday's/ weekends with many different events all through each month.”

“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.”

“Excellent!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Always an amazing experience very friendly staff ❤️”

“The food and the atmosphere is amazing! Great drinks, great food!”

“Here for the 25th anniversary of Saint Baldrich’s foundation! Great time!”

“Positives First:
-Beautiful View/ Scenery from large floor to ceiling windows.
-Great interior design with spacious tables.
-Very good food.

Negatives:
- Service did not match the atmosphere and the price point.

The service however was a huge disappointment. After providing my name for the reservation, the host walked about 8 steps and then without speaking pointed to the table across the room where we were apparently supposed to sit. I asked for clarification, and he then muttered in annoyance that one by the window….

Next up, we were asked if we want still or sparkling water, I asked for a bottle of still.
We received tap water. I again asked for a bottle of still, we then received lime flavored tap water. Finally our server stepped in and clarified they do not have bottled still water, only filtered…
I do want to mention besides the host no one was rude, but the service in general just didn’t seem to keep up.”

“Food was delicious, would come back again. Staff was also very friendly throughout visit👍🏽”

“Always a good time here. BJ & Keith have created a fun and friendly atmosphere here. Bartenders and Servers are always on point and provide the best service. Try a Carlarita…you won’t be disappointed”

“Great staff, great food. Celebre mi boda en este lugar y todo fue excelente. Los recomiendo 100%”

“My family and I were driving back home and decided to make a pit stop at Marshalls in Norwalk CT. Two doors to the right is Vedas a small cozy 8-seater restaurant that offered Indian lunch specials. My wife and daughter had always associated Indian food to be spicy, but they were willing to try it out. So my wife ordered the butter chicken and my daughter the chicken tikka masala and butter naan. The hot meals came and after eating for a while, they said wow this is delicious, it is not spicy and has this nice blend of spices. Perfect! I ordered palak paneer with a bit of spice and the dish was so tasty. Whether your taste buds are into non spicy or spicy Indian dishes, check out Vedas and you’ll find their specials and prices are friendly for travelers.”

“The best in Norwalk for sure, great ambience, food & service is A+”

“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.”

“Love the drive through experience and their variety of doughnut holes.

Unlike dunkin, their flavored iced coffee is not sweetened at all. Just flavor with no artificial or real sweeteners!”

“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..”

“I took my grandson to this location for a donut for breakfast. He really likes Dunkin Donuts. The associate was very nice and patient with us. It was a good experience. I would like to recommend that Dunkin make a Maple Iced Donut. Those are great where you can find them.”

“Nice,Clean and fast Service.”

“It’s a McDonald’s. A good one at that. Boof for your health (obviously) but this specific location is always quick, employees are friendly, and the food comes out hot 9 times out of 10, no complaints”

“As a homesick Miami girl, I can tell you this food tasted like home. No fru fru, no bull. Just good good, good vibes, and good people. That’s all you need. My boyfriend and I enjoyed every single bite here!!”

“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!”

“We go here nearly every time we are in Norwalk. Love their arroz con pollo. All the food is actually amazingly delicious. My favorite drink is their sangria to the point they prep it for me when I walk in. Kind service. They feel like family.”

“This place is a hidden gem! The food was incredible and authentic. Price is right. Family owned and run. They really care. Lamb Chops best I have had all fresh ingredients. Rice Pudding was so different and wonderful.”

“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!!!”

“Delicious food at a great price! This is a great fast-casual option for SoNo.”

“Ordered a Birthday Cake for my granddaughter and it was delicious. I will be trying more things from here.”

“The food is genuine and delicious and the dining area is lovely. Lots of great duck dishes, too! Will definitely go back!”

“The Donuts are tremendous, but unfortunately the employees here lack customer service skills. More than once I've waited in line for 15-20 minutes and not even be greeted...... No good......”

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

“We tried their pizza for the first time. Ordered a margarita pizza. It was delicious and unbelievably fresh and the dough was incredible. We’ve tried most pizza places in our area. This was definitely the best”

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

“Shah’s Halal Food delivers every time. Fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The chicken over rice hits hard, tender meat, perfect spices, and that white, green and sauce takes it to another level. Portions are big, prices stay fair, and the service moves fast. If you want real comfort food that satisfies, this is the spot.”

“Visited the Middletown ct restaurant. Clean , professional and outstanding southern chicken. The manger was awesome and was very friendly.”

“la atención buenísima...el churrasco delicioso”

“Bagels are superb on their own or as a BEC or cream cheese of your choosing. I love eating their Salt Bagels; it’s like eating a giant soft pretzel. It gets understandably crazy busy, best to phone in your order ahead…”

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!!”

“We got the Ube cake for my birthday and got really good comments from the people who have tried it — including me and my husband. The icing is not too sweet and the cake is moist!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Great food, clean environment and overall great service. Wish they had delivery I’d order more. other then uber or door dash with their extremely high prices because”

“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.”

“Last time I was in this building, it was Johns Diner; 30 years ago. The food was very good & tasty; portions were generous. The menus has quite a large and varied selection. 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!!”

“The lemon sorbet is amazing. It’s a favorite in the Town Clerks office. Thanks Frank!!! Congrats!!!”

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.”

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!

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.”
