“If you’re a foodie like me, you’ll love this place! The menu has an array of both traditional and eclectic southern style dishes.My guest was hesitant to sit on the side by the window, so I took that seat (well insulated)and was very comfortable. We were promptly greeted by our server Chris G. He took He took my drink order, however, my guest was undecided, so she proceeded to quiz him incessantly about everything on the menu from the cocktails to the dinners and appetizers . I was a bit embarrassed. Thank goodness he was extremely patient, he literally accommodated her every request with grace!!We tried the shrimp and grits and it did not disappoint. The shrimp was plump, tender and fresh, we chose the cheddar grits! They were creamy and complemented the dish perfectly. I went with a short ribs. They were so delicious I took the last piece of bread in the basket to “sop” up the sauce. For dessert she had poached peer . pair and I went with an espresso martini.I just spoke with her yesterday , which prompted me to finish my review. She has eaten there now three times friends and she looks all the way up in Milford.hats off to proprietor AND chef-Kudos to the entire team!”

“Coals makes pizza unlike any I've ever had. The pizza crust is about 2 millimeters thick and it's cooked on a grill (over coal I presume). It's different. Once you get used to it, and it's taken me a few visits, it's delightful.My kids love the wings which come in a few choices of flavors. The salads are phenomenal and big enough for the table to share. And the pizza is tasty and I find myself craving what's leftover in my fridge as I type this.They also have a really nice beer/wine/cocktail menu.Oh, and I shouldn't forget the Nutella dessert pizza, it's pretty special.”

The food is extremely well priced, with large portions that could feed 2, and the food is absolutely superb. The best and most tender oxtail I’ve ever had by a mile, and some jerk chicken that changed my picky mother’s opinion on spicy food. The sides are delicious and plentiful as well, with great rice and peas, phenomenal Rasta pasta or creamy Mac n cheese, and generous pieces of fried plantain. simply superb and a well loved part of a rotation when I get home from work and want good quality food. Louis is a great and kind man who deserves all the customers in the world! He’s even got vegan options of almost anything on the menu, which I’ve never seen for a Caribbean place!

Bazille

Bazille 100 N Water St Suite A, Norwalk American • $$

“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.”

“Attended a group event at this location.Parking was extremely easy. There is an indoor lot which is free to park.The food here is amazing. We went for brunch. Plenty of choices in the menu. I got the maple ? syrup bacon ?. Was very yummy. And eggs ? Benedict very good as well. My friends got the potatoes ? {patatas brava} a large portion, the chorizo was also very tasty. Cheese ? croquettes and tortillas española was also very filling. Everything was really good. The waiters were friendly and helpful. They even provided separate checks for each that attended which often is very rare. I would definitely recommend this location in the waypointe area in Norwalk.Vegetarian options: Definitely choices.”

“We had my mom's Celebration of Life reception at Ponza's upstairs room. The room was beautifully decorated, light and airy with an abundance of space. Various seating arrangements (hi-tops, banquettes, etc.) gave the space a great visual feel. ALL of my food choices were plentiful, delicious and perfectly presented in a buffet style. (Get the antipasto platter... and their meatballs, amazing!) And don't get me started on the desserts. The owner/manager (Veronica) worked tirelessly for me in getting the set up exactly right. They have a small service bar upstairs, and the bartender was super friendly and 'on point' with the drinks. Made it really easy for folks to get beverages without having to go down to the main level for service. The wonderful staff kept an eye on the food and when it appeared that we were running low, they always let me know and asked if I wanted more or something else. They also have three plasma tv's where we were able to put in videos of my mom and play them throughout the evening, along with piping in a music channel of our choice. Linen tablecloths, tea lights on every table... Our guests were very, very impressed. All in all, an event that surpassed my expectations!!! I wish I thought to take photos of the space... but do yourself a favor... go check it out for yourself!!! I certainly will be back : )”

“A nice place to have a quiet conversation (How rare is that these days?) while eating lunch or brunch. Tasteful and relaxing decor with a real fireplace and fire. However, I did notice they have live bands some nights so the jury is still out on this one. Maybe call ahead to sample the background noise from the bar or bandstand. The food was very good (maybe I'd give it an 83 out of 100 score). They have an extensive and varied menu. The backside of the menu was all Asian influenced with sushi, etc. But there were some enticing entries like Bay Scallops with bucatini. Not to forget that their burgers are extraordinary but pricey. Top notch service too. Highly recommended.”
