“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💜“

“My husband Mark and I met Doug at PJ Clark’s and went there for years. When he opened Hudson Malone, of course we went many times.! I then got sick (surgeries in 14 months, all good now!) ) and when I walked back in with my husband after almost two years, Doug saw us coming in, poured my favorite wine, took my hand and kissed it, and said ““Welcome Home Claudia”
The establishment is one sense of his excellence.. Humanity (no BS) is another. He’s the real deal! GO!

“This place is nothing short of amazing. We went on a recommendation of a friend for our wedding anniversary. As soon as we walked in we were treated like family. When they found out it was our anniversary they gave us a glass of champagne. The calamari was incredible. Not oily and so flavorful. The linguini fruit ti di mara was delicious. My wife had the special with clams and mussels and that too was delicious. They constantly checked on us and made us feel so welcome. For dessert we shared a Carrot cake and it was so fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back. Thank you making our anniversary special.“

But today, we were served by a girl who was on the her phone gossiping with someone the entire time, she even had the phone on speaker. And I would not have cared about it if we would have at least gotten water. She didn’t even asked if we wanted anything, didn’t brought us water at any point, and was being very loud on the phone.“

“Incredible! Impeccable friendly service and outstanding food. If you don’t go to eat here you’re insane. Delicious menu, oversized plates and just the best ambiance. Go dressed up or down and you will be comfortable. We can’t wait to go back.“

“Splendid pancakes and paninis! The bacon on the side was cooked to perfection, delicious fries with the right amount of salt. It felt like everything was put together with love but not sacrificing the speed in which food came out. Me and my boyfriend will absolutely be back when we visit Connecticut again!“

“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!“

“Had dinner following my daughter’s graduation and everything was nothing short of excellent. We were seated promptly by a very friendly hostess. Our server was great and on top of everything. We have allergies and he went above and beyond to review the menu ensuring our meal was perfect. Food was excellent!! We will definitely be going back and would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a great meal with superb service.“

“Wonderful service, food and cocktails. Had a bit of everything and it all was exceptional. Highly recommend.“

“Could use a revised changed up menu items!!!“

“Fabulous place fabulous food fabulous staff fantastic time“

“We approve #PGH412Natives“

“Great place for dining and drinks, especially when you compare it to the other establishments in the area. The best quality is the service, which is surprisingly pristine considering how busy this place gets, especially during happy hour. The place can be packed to the brim with people, and you will still get served quickly without diminishing the quality of the food/drinks. You can watch the bartenders make the drinks in front of you, and they serve you within minutes without cutting corners, before moving onto the next person. I’ve seen places half as busy, take twice as long to serve their patrons.“

“Good food and everyone was happy.“

“One of my friends jumped at the chance, explaining that he grew up down the road from Ayala's, would welcome the chance to check out the 'old neighborhood.' Well, he grew up there close to forty years ago, and things have most certainly changed. After a rather brief visit to Ayala's last Saturday, I felt compelled to write this review.“

“Great neighborhood sports bar and restaurant.“

“Great… just like it’s been for going on 50 years!!“

“The Little Pub in Wilton totally lives up to its name… little building, big personality. From the moment you walk in, it feels like the kind of place where everyone’s either a regular or about to become one.
The vibe is cozy, lively, and exactly what you want from a neighborhood pub. Great energy, friendly staff, and the kind of menu where you start by thinking “I’ll just get something light” and end up saying “Okay… maybe we should share one more thing.”
Everything we had was delicious, and the whole experience just felt relaxed and fun. It’s the perfect spot whether you're grabbing a casual bite, meeting friends, or just escaping the cold Connecticut weather for a bit.
Safe to say we’ll definitely be back — this place is a little gem in Wilton. 🍔🍻“

“Love the LA Fit wrap, of course on a habanero tortilla. Great soups, too. All around a great option for a quick lunch.“
