We will definitely be going back and would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a great meal with superb service.“

“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.“

“Great staff and great food even during this pandemic. And accommodating“

“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.“

“Excellent! Been a while since I’ve been here and been a while since I’ve been in the northeast, so it tastes even better after being out west for so long.“

“The food is always amazing. Slowly working my way through the menu but everything I’ve had so far has been fantastic. Bonus: helpful and friendly staff every visit❤️“

“will be back recommend this place loved the food great service nice atmosphere“

“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“

“Just wanted to thank you for serving the most tender (cut with a fork) and flavorful Berkshire pork chop I have had the pleasure of eating. This compliment on your quality and preparation is unequivocal as I have eaten pork chops in more than 200 restaurants throughout the USA, Mexico, South America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines, Japan, Spain and France. My absolute favorite brined pork chop is served at Castelli’s Ristorante in Palm Desert CA. Inasmuch as my brother lives in Stamford I will be back. BTW my wife’s Braised Short Ribs were melt in your mouth as well. A great big thank you and hat’s off to the culinary team.“

“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 don’t normally leave reviews, but I feel like i have to let everyone know there’s an extremely cute pizza delivery driver working here. The pizza was hot, but not as hot as him. Honestly, I tipped extra just for existing that good-looking. He handed me the pizza and I swear I forgot how to speak English for a second. The man could deliver me an empty box and I’d still say “thank you so much, best pizza ever.” 10/10 will continue to order from this place!!!“

“the classic chicken souvlaki was great. the atmosphere wonderful and loud. 😀“

“This wonderful dinner was incredible!!!! absolutely 💯 delicious and way above other Italian restaurants in the area. They make food with love!!!

“This is the place to go if you want the best traditional french food in the area. We had five different entrees and including two appetizers which all were fantastic. I have been there quite a few times and never have been disappointed.“

“Service was excellent! Maura and the team were very helpful and attentive. Menu was fresh and unique. We had several apps including tomato toast, cukes & melon with feta, tuna and venison tartares and ribs - all very tasty. Food and fun drinks were top notch. We had an early dinner and noise level was great for conversing. Very clean establishment and good vibe. Maybe a bit pricey but worth it. Recommend to give it a try.“

“Best Thai food! I ordered the Thai salad, chicken drunken noodles, and Thai clear broth noodle soup with beef. Everything was absolutely delicious. The peanut sauce was excellent, and the drunken noodles were flavorful, light, yet comforting. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was clean and cozy. I highly recommend this place!“

“We had a delicious meal of some of the best Indian food we’ve had in a long time! We had takeout and we’ll do it again soon. The lamb was particularly good.“

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

“I've been to Pontos a number of times. My family and I go there for early dinners. Excellent food, no messing around. Today I used them to cater an event. They nailed it. Everyone loved it. Unfortunately the leftovers are already gone.“

“We came from Maine for the Soundside music festival and stayed in Norwalk. We ate here twice while in town for the weekend! We left our credit card on accident the first night and they held it for us! We’d forgotten coffee creamer for our air BnB so we asked the bar tender if we could buy a cup of cream. He gave it to us! Melissa was our waitress and she was great! Super friendly and great service. Over all AMAZING food and service!!! If we ever travel to Norwalk again we will definitely be back for some grub!“

“Great service and consistently great pizza!!“

“We recently dined at Vedas Indian cuisine Norwalk.The menu boasts classic selection of indian dishes. We tried their dosa and lunch bowl (goat korma), which was absolutely delicious .The spicy level was just right for us.The portion size was also generous. The service was friendly and attentive,overall making the dinning experience even more good.Prices are reasonable,making it a decent option for a budget friendly indian meal. Overall, I highly recommend Vedas for satisfying indian craving .“

“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“

“esencial buen servicio para todos y los exclusivos platos gourmet, delicious del lugar“

“Food was very good. Service was excellent. Disappointing was the salsa and chips. Very very cheap on the portion and the salsa is served in little plastic cups.“

“I am always suspicious of places that don’t focus on one cuisine but we have ordered twice now from Yuki Kitchen and have been impressed by the authenticity of the menu. We ordered Simmered Shitake mushrooms, Lucky Pink Radish, and smashed spicy cucumbers and all were amazing. We also ordered Yaya Balls which are deep fried octopus. My son had them in Japan on a visit a few weeks ago and said they tasted just as good. He was also excited to see a brand of iced tea he had in Japan. Yuki Kitchen is a tiny but mighty source for authentic Asian food. Don’t drive by it….“

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

“Great place! Cozy, friendly atmosphere and the falafel was excellent, not dry and very flavorful. The pistachio cake was also amazing. So many interesting things to try, can’t wait to go back!“

“Excellent service and hospitality by both Babu and Kanagaraj.

I ordered catering as well for meals and they did an excellent job, all the dishes were very tasty and also they quickly turned around for extra orders.

This is my comfort place now for food“

“Stopped in at Joe's on our way back from Mass on the Merritt Parkway. We prefer local and they did not disappoint. Staff was so friendly, packed up our order along with extra napkins and condiments. Fantastic food! We took a menu and will continue to stop on our trips back and forth from PA. This was a great find... quick access on/off the Parkway, reasonable prices, and great people/service. Def CK it out!“

“I left an emotional review the other day when my online pizza order was incorrect- user error apparently, I don’t know how to remove it, so I wanted to give an update. The OWNER of the business took time out of his day to come to my house to explain and apologize for the mistake. I guess I clicked on the cheese on 1/2, when I thought it was extra cheese (as it was a large cheese pizza). Honest mistake for the pizza maker who also answered the phone and was a bit overwhelmed but a very sure housewife, asking why the pizza was naked, w an angry 6yr old asking me “how could this happen??? I looooove Bronx house…” Drama. So, I take it back- and am so happy we can keep ordering from this establishment. My kid loves the pizza, and it’s super quick and conveniently located by the hockey rink… lesson learned, just call. Us dinosaurs are no good at online ordering.“

“Just like Stamford's own Cheers. Where everyone knows your name. Great people and excellent food.“

“After following for a long time finally took the trip from Philadelphia, PA to get a milkshake. The food and milkshake were great and the staff was amazing. Really worth the 2.5hr drive.“

“Food is delicious. Loved it!“

“Discovered Sergio’s about a year ago. It is now one of, if not my favorite eatery in Stamford. Great quality food at amazing prices. Love the people who run it, extremely nice. I get the Turkey sandwich on a wedge with provolone, lettuce, tomato and Mayo. I also get the chicken souvlaki with rice. The fresh bread is amazing. The chicken and rice is great as well. The prices are amazing. I absolutely love Sergio’s!“

“I had the pleasure of going there last night for first time and I highly recommend it...Amazing food, fresh ingredients, nice sized portions and the owner/staff are friendly, attentive and accommodating...The best, authentic Mexican cuisine food I’ve had ever and so reasonably priced...👍“

“I had a very good surprise yesterday Finally a DECENT Haitian take out place w(small seating area/VERY CLEAN *** food was was very good / THE Best little Haitian place in the area /came from Stamford / I hope the community will support them“
