“We dined here on a Friday night at 6:30 and place was 80%filled by 7:00. Service was very friendly and efficient. Appetizers of grilled and fried calamari were very good. The 14.95 size was very adequate for 2-3 people. Drinks were excellent also. Main course of veal very good, but bourbon cream sauce had a bit too much bourbon, leaving a bitter taste. Noice level particularly loud probably related to hard wood floor. Overall, pretty solid intimate restaurant with a seemingly loyal clientele.“
“Easy to make a reservation on a Friday night. The Hostess sat us right away and our Server was punctual in greeting us and taking drink orders. The drinks were well-balanced, not too sweet. We specifically enjoyed the White Bronco. The deviled eggs, pickles vegetables, chicken wings (chipotle honey), hush puppies, and chopped salad with chicken were all delicious. Our server was very attentive the entire evening and we felt very welcome and not rushed even towards closing. Thank you!“
“By far the best restaurant I’ve ever been in Connecticut. I’m a local, I’m a foodie, I love going around and trying everything. I’m Brazilian, my friend is Moroccan, and we’ve also extensively traveled in our countries. We both agreed, never tried food as delicious as a bartaco’s.The Poké bowl is delicious, but my personal preference is the pork belly taco. I get six every time I go there.Fun fact, if you get the press, leches cake, they’ll actually give you a lid to close the jar if you don’t finish all of it. I dream about that cake sometimes.Also, I work in the industry, and every chef I’ve ever met, has good things to say about that place.“
“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!“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this exceptional restaurant, and I must say, the food totally blew me away. I’m sad that it’s so far from where I live.The eggplant, Vietnamese crispy roll, and hot oil dumplings were particularly impressive. The rolls boasted a perfect balance of crispy texture and flavorful pork filling, while the dumplings were generously stuffed and perfectly sized. The adjustment of the hot sauce to suit local tastes was executed skillfully, without compromising too much of the authentic flavors.The deep-fried eggplant retained its vibrant purple color and shape, with flavors and fragrance concentrated beautifully on the surface. However, the highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Pho Tai. Served with tender beef cut exactly as it is in Hanoi, Vietnam, it showcased the chef's dedication to authenticity and quality ingredients.The Char Kway Teow demonstrated exceptional wok skills, with evenly distributed sauces coating the wide noodles, delivering an authentic flavor experience. It's evident that the chefs take great pride in their craft.Not only was the food outstanding, but the service was also impeccable. The staff were welcoming and attentive, ensuring a memorable dining experience from start to finish.“
“Great atmosphere and great food! The restaurant is super cozy and the staff is very friendly. The food was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed the classic Taproot menu and everything else as great - special shoutout l to the venison which was unreal! They also have a great selection of cocktails and wine and very good desserts.“
“My husband and I recently celebrated his birthday at Ola Kitchen and from the moment we stepped through the door, we were captivated by the warm ambiance and attentive service. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, ensuring that every detail of our evening was flawless.As we perused the menu, we were delighted by the diverse selection of dishes, each crafted with precision and creativity.The presentation of each dish was nothing short of artistic, with vibrant colors and intricate plating that showcased the chef's mastery of culinary technique. And to complement our meal, my husband’s margarita and my sangria were delicious.But perhaps the highlight of the evening was the dessert- pineapple tres leches cake that arrived at our table with a flourish. Rich, and indulgent, it was the perfect ending to a perfect meal.Overall, our experience at Ola Kitchen surpassed all expectations, leaving us with memories that will last a lifetime. From the impeccable service to the exquisite cuisine, every aspect of our evening was truly exceptional and the ideal setting to celebrate this special occasion.“
“One of our local favorite stops. We had lunch on Saturday before the Super Bowl. Staff, as always, are very accommodating. We had two Big Mack burgers ? with a side salad. It's one of the best damn burgers we've had in a while! Go and enjoy.“
“This is my favorite spot in Norwalk!If you want sushi and you want ramen and you wanna sing, drink and dance this is the place to go!The staff are super friendly as well!!The karaoke scene is always a fun vibe and there’s even a DJ most weekendsI personally enjoy getting the Shoyu Ramen and the spicy tuna roll but there’s a bunch of other great things on the menu as wellYou may know Colony, Sedona and Barcelona but in my opinion the best quality food at the waypoint building is HarukiHIGHLY RECOMMEND??“
“Went on a weeknight for a dinner with friends and received really great hospitality from the Manager and servers! Spanish tapas were so fresh, great color and portion sizes, and very flavorful! Margaritas and sangria were a hit as well! Looking forward to returning soon!“
“Food was great. Amazing octopus. We had several small plates based on our server’s suggestions, which were spot on. Had 2 different types of “gintonics” which were great. The music was a little off (loud rap, not in keeping with the vibe), but everything else was fantastic!“
“This place has a nice pub vibe. Plenty of families. Lighting was dim. We all ordered pizzas and they were decent. Server was helpful with questions and suggestions.Parking: Parking lot is very small with limited parking so just be awareKid-friendliness: Many tables with different ages of children.“
“Always a superb experience at this hidden neighborhood gem in New Canaan. Entrance is around back for those in the know. Warm and cozy with a friendly-family vibe. The Double Double Burger and Cheesesteak are as good as you can get. Cocktails are prepared by arguably the best bartenders in the state and they are exceptional. Service is efficient and friendly and managers are always around making sure the crowd is happy. Go once and you'll find you can't wait to go back!!!“
“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.“
“Our waiter and his helper were both terrific. Our waiter told us all about your special nights. He was friendly, patient and informative. Our tapas plates and main entrees were very good.  Half price wine on Wednesday is fantastic. Great job!“
“We discovered this new great restaurant where the food was excelente, the drinks were perfect but best of all was the service provided specially by Julian and Maria the owner that made us feel so special and welcomed, we're definitely coming back to this place for more very good times!“
“We recently hosted a baby shower at Harbor Lights. It was amazing, and the guests loved the event. The food was excellent, plentiful, and exceeded our expectations. The water view room was elegant, bright, and the setup was incredible. Alexandria was great to work with, and she accommodated our every need. Her staff excelled in the service to our guests.I cannot wait to return to dine there, and will definitely host future events there.“
“A jewel box of a restaurant. Intimate and cozy with great attention to detail from the food to the decorating. Owner, Michelle, is welcoming and pays great attention to ensuring her guests have a special dining experience.My friend and I had dinner there last evening and it was one of the most delicious meals I’ve had in a long time.Thank you for such a wonderful evening.Martha Spiegel“
