Restaurants in Norwalk

“By far the best in town I been here like 6 times food is amazing drinks are amazing servers are all attentive very helpful with the menu on explaining what they have and what’s the best to get. I never had a bad experience when I come. Servers also aren’t annoying like other restaurants they don’t come by while you’re eating which is great they always wait when you’re done to come and ask how is everything I hate when a server always comes by to disturb so this is something that stood with me. If you’re planning on coming here don’t second guess it just go.”

“very cool sustainable unique eco conscious fun place to gather , mingle , and enjoy”

“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.”

“Nice roomy taproom. Burger was delicious.
Beers were better that their reviews
Long way from home but would definitely stop again when passing through the area”

“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!”

“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.”

“Louis is FANTASTIC! His food is amazing! I can’t speak to many chefs in the area, but his love for what he does is out of this world. We can always count on him for great food and love behind it. Thanks for a taste of home in Norwalk, CT!!”

“We had my daughters baby shower at Banc house today. It was so perfect ! Delicious brunch ! Staff was super nice ! Thank you so much for making my daughter's day so so beautiful!”

“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.”

“Let me tell you about this place!!! I am Georgian but married to American , my family loves my food but when we had the Georgian traditional salad my husband looked at me like he was eating something heavenly!!! The Megrelian stile Cheese bread is the best thing you ever eat !! Sooo good!! The Khinkali the soup dumplings so delicious, just make sure you drink all the juice it’s best part!! We had such a great experience and will be back very soon. The service was excellent!!! Highly recommended, 10 out of 10!!”

“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.”

“We recently held my sister's baby shower at Odeens at Oak Hills, and could not have been more pleased with the whole process from start to finish.

Barbara was fantastic in helping determine the best menu for our party size (brunch for 30 people). Laurie was wonderful and so helpful when we were setting up our decorations--making sure we had all the linens, ensuring we had the right Playlist for the party, and that all of the details for our event were well socialized amongst the staff--as well as running a tight operation with the bartenders and servers during the party.

The venue itself had the perfect rustic vibe for our fall woodland theme, and was sectioned off from the main dining area, while still allowing sufficient space to move around and take pictures. The food selections (shakshuka, homemade breakfast sausage, frittatta) were absolutely delicious, and the cupcake display was a huge hit!

We are so grateful at how seamless Barbara and Laurie made this event. And all of the partygoers had an amazing time!”

“Had different events they go above and beyond to make it perfect highly recommended”

“Had a great time with the live bands and Karaoke, and the food it’s out of this world!! recommend this place 100%”

“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.”

“Cindy working here has been amazing. She cares about making sure the right thing is given. And even gave me an extra cream cheese to give to my dog to take medication. Thank you, and happy to support people like this.”

“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!”

“Dunkin's incorporation of an ice cream store offers a diverse menu and maintains high-quality products, providing an enjoyable experience with a variety of coffee and ice cream choices. The service is efficient, and the location is convenient. However, the merger has led to cramped space, particularly noticeable on a rainy day visit when the indoor entrance was wet and unmonitored, posing a slip hazard. Although the issue was reported to a staff member, the slow response to this safety concern could be risky, highlighting a need for better safety measures to enhance the overall customer experience at this dual-function location.”

“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”

“Nice,Clean and fast Service.”

“Very nice deli!! Food is good, fresh, reasonable & the staff is friendly. Charlie was awesome he greets his customers aa they come in. The food is put together not thrown together. I will be back.”

“The chicken lemon soup was a hug for my soul. I went back a second time to get more. YUM! Souvlaki pita was delicious. Genuine hospitality. A great place. Can’t wait to cone back and GET MORE SOUP!”

“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!”

“Had an amazing time, we waited for a bit as we had no reservation and its a small space. Most tables were participating in the 8 course dinner. We were acknowledged three seperate times by workers which was great that we were seen. We were finally offered a table and they were super accomodating. We got a buffalo chicken cesar and a chicken vodka parm sandwich, 10/10!!! Absolutely delicious. I couldnt reccomend enough. While it is busy, the staff is just lovely.

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Excellent service great prices!”

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!”
