“Great food and cocktails! Consistently delicious. Frequent menu additions/changes. Great happy hour. The passion fruit margarita is the perfect summer drink. Some of the best small plates anywhere. The guacamole, gambas and brussels sprouts are a must as well as the pollo chacha. Friendly staff, fun atmosphere and very clean. Great place for a celebration!“

“Located conveniently at the hotel I stayed at, I visited this restaurant the day after Mother's Day. Opted for the Halibut special and was delighted with its crispy top. The mocktail I had was also excellent. Recommended for a satisfying meal with great drinks.“

“Absolutely love Taco Guy!Between the impeccable service and authentic food - Taco Guy is by far one of the best restaurants in Downtown Norwalk. The staff are lovely and can answer any questions you have about the menu and the bartenders are fantastic mixologists. I have a friend with a severe dairy allergy and when we go to restaurants they often mess up their order. Taco Guy was so accommodating, careful and understanding of how severe a mix up could be.Would 100% recommend Taco Guy if you are in the Fairfield County Area!“

“They plainly spell out what is gluten free on their online and in person menu, which makes dining out as a person with celiac disease much, much easier. The food was delicious. My only complaint is that the French fry portions could be a bit bigger.Dietary restrictions: Thank you for offering many gluten free choices, especially in apps and desserts.“

“Best in a long line of searching for the best restaurant!“

“Great Place to hang with friends or go on a date!!! All around great place!!!!“

“My boyfriend and I went to 1920 Bar and Bistro on a whim at the recommendation of his boss. When we arrived we were immediately greeted and walked to a table that was adorned beautifully with care and quality. As we started with wine, we were met with a knowledgeable conversation about our options and ended up with two glasses tailored to our taste. Then we started on a fantastic charcuterie board with fresh marmalade and an amazing cheese spread. From there we had Gorgonzola gnocchi and a NY strip. We couldn’t decide which we enjoyed more, but had to stop ourselves from licking the plate. At this point we thought we were full, but were tempted by the dessert menu. We enjoyed a coconut creme brûlée and tiramisu— the tiramisu was our favorite, but we highly recommend the crème brûlée too! During our dining experience, we were greeted not only by the chef, but by both owners as well. All had such genuine and beautiful personalities.There has never been a more beautiful and inviting dining experience in Norwalk. We can’t wait to visit again and are thinking about hosting an event here after just one dinner.I hope you find yourself dining with a loved one here soon. If you do, be sure to ask about the history of the building and save room for dessert. ❤️“

“We had a delicious date night dinner out at The Spread. We sat in the covered, heated outdoor dining space and the lighting and fireplace made it very cozy and enjoyable. The food was delicious - we ordered smaller plates to share. The service was very attentive, almost to a fault. The bus staff was very on top of filling our waters the second we took a sip and taking plates the moment the last bite was taken. There were many staff members in the outdoor space that we felt that we were being watched as we ate, and they were ready to pounce and clear the table as soon as we finished something. We did feel rushed, which was the only downfall of the meal.“

“Best place to dine at the SoNo Collection! Food is consistently good. I've had the salads with the roasted chicken. Instead of getting stringy, shredded chicken, the salads are topped with a perfectly cooked and seasoned chicken breasts. Brunch options are terrific; my husband loved his sausage and biscuits. Sandwiches are made with fresh ingredients - freshly baked bread, crisp lettuce and flavorful proteins. Kids meals options are great to accommodate picky eaters to more healthy minded families. Service is friendly and professional. We had a lovely conversation with our server, a young Egyptian-American who made us feel comfortable and made our lunch an enjoyable experience. After dining at Pinstripes and Yardhouse with mixed experiences, I can firmly say that Bazille is the best lunch option in terms of quality, value and service.“

“Located on the rooftop of the Residence Inn hotel in south Norwalk, small menu, good bites and inexpensive. Cocktails were very good, consistent and potent, our server Jesus was on top of everything, very attentive and nice, they had an awesome DJ playing Latin music, the crowd was enjoying the music, dancing and drinking. The space is somewhat small, and you have to take the elevator down to the bathrooms. Get there early if you want to grab a table. I definitely would recommend it.“

“Amazing food, beautiful atmosphere and excellent service“
