    I ordered 2 burgers and both times came uncooked even tho I orders it cooked differently both times

    We came in here just because we rather have stopped vs still in traffic on the way to New Haven. We were pleasantly surprised how delicious everything was. This is going to become a normal spot on future trips.

    Buffalo Chicken Pub Wings

    Just super average bar food. Ordered wings, spinach artichoke dip, French dip and Mac & cheese. All just very average. Wings were too dry tasting, spinach dip was too artichokey and cheesy, French dip au jus was watery.

    We ate at BJ Ryan's East (where partners used to be). Frank was our waiter and the service was incredible. A+ The spicy chicken sandwich was fantastic. Get an extra side of dressing and enjoy! The thinner spinner was also delish! I'm so impressed with the entire experience. We really enjoyed Frank and the food! Great to have you. We will be back!

    This place consistently puts out great food, drinks, and atmosphere. The employees are all welcoming and good at what they do. The food is great every time. They have specials that they post on social media which are always awesome. I recently had the chicken pot pie special and it was one of the best I've had in a while. Awesome all around. Great work B.J. Ryan's!

We first discovered Coals when they had locations in New York. After those closed, we happily started making the trip to Connecticut because nothing else compares. We've even celebrated special occasions here because the restaurant is spacious, welcoming, and has such a great atmosphere. The service is second to none. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming, and the waitstaff is always friendly, attentive, and excellent. Coals is always worth the trip, and we can't recommend it enough!

    First and foremost, Coals had several other locations and they shut down, but I'm honestly not sure…read morewhy (could be due to the stove necessary for making this specific type of pizza, just brainstorming here). My mom had insisted on going here on Mother's Day. Fortunately, their Connecticut location was open and we went. Bianca, I believe as a manager and was super accommodating with my mom's 100 questions haha. We started with one of the salads and the brussels sprouts. Both were great, but the brussels sprouts stood out to me. As for the pizza, we got the Margherita, Rustic, & Bayside. All of them were great, but the Bayside had to be my favorite. The pistachio pesto and goat cheese went very well together. The Rustic was a close runner up- mushrooms and truffle oil are always a match made in heaven. The Margherita was a classic but with the style of super thin, almost cracker-thin pizza I preferred the other two more. All in all, my family and I would definitely make it out to Norwalk again just for this place (& we live in Long Island). Thanks Bianca for making my Mom's day!

    Alma Bistro, Cocina Latina is a Latin fusion restaurant in Norwalk, Connecticut, celebrated for its…read moreflavorful, authentic dishes with a modern twist, blending South American, European, and Asian influences. Popular menu items include birria tacos, octopus, shrimp ceviche, and steak chimichurri. My daughter and I visited here for her birthday, and we both love Latin cuisine. As we walked in, we were greeted warmly and shown to our seats immediately. It was a chilly day, and the restaurant felt cold inside as well. The staff tried to warm things up with space heaters, but they didn't quite do the trick. We ordered empanadas, birria tacos, hanger steak, and sweet plantains with crema and queso fresco. When the dishes arrived, they were lukewarm--a bit disappointing, considering how cold it was outside. The birria tacos were delicious, though again, they could have been hotter. The meat was tender and well-seasoned, but I would have liked it a bit crisper. The hanger steak was tender, and the Pico de Gallo was bursting with flavor, pairing perfectly with the steak. It was nicely seasoned and had a good-sized portion. The empanadas were tasty, with flavorful and plentiful meat. The plantains were extremely delicious. The crema and queso fresco helped bring the whole dish together beautifully. The customer service was friendly, but the food could have been hotter; still, the flavors and seasonings were spot-on.
