Turns out a girl I thought was part of another table to my right with some guys was actually our waitress! Plus it was hard to really know who the staff were. Really horrible service to begin with. Regardless of the service, the food was super delicious. My friend and I both shared dry rubbed chicken wings tossed in sweet buffalo sauce - amazing. We also got craft burgers and fries which were cooked to perfection. I ate everything and ate so fast I forgot to take photos of the food. Honestly, the food and the ambiance is the only reason why I'm giving 4 stars.

Screaming crying kicking begging for you to open a Norwalk location…read more I can't mention Lorca to someone without them saying "it's under new ownership", but I think the new owners have done a good job at sustaining the original quality of the shop. They have some of the best drinks and food items, the atmosphere is great for relaxing or working, and the staff is so nice and helpful.

There's a real shortage of good coffee shops around here, but this place is comparable or better…read morethan most of the best shops I've been to. I've been coming here maybe 2-3 times a season since they opened about 12 years ago, but sometimes even 2-3 times A DAY. This is one of the few cafes I can confidently say is innovative while staying true to their classics. The churros are still going strong many years later, but then they're also coming out with fresh seasonal flavors all the time. Some of the best flavors of coffees I've had are at this place: jasmine matcha, maple black walnut, a proper not-too-sweet autumn spice, pistachio rose cardamom, tres leches, etc. They were doing a horchata cold brew before anyone in the area, and their alfajores cookies remain tasty as ever. I always get the espresso drinks, but their drip is great too. Food is awesome, but I wish there were more savory vegetarian options at every cafe. Still, at least it's not the same boring breakfast burrito here; the sage and manchego egg and cheese on sourdough is pretty solid. The pastries and desserts always look and taste fantastic too. live in MD but visit my parents in Stamford often, and Lorca is the spot I always find myself going to first. Plus, there's plenty of space ever since they expanded years ago, so you can bring a book and people watch the busiest street in Stamford. The service is fast, courteous, and friendly. The past few times I've gone they've been pretty slammed. They were quick but seemed maybe one person down? If they're hiring, please work here! I know their winter drinks are going to be just as good, and the holiday season gets busy. I think I need to get another autumn spice latte before I hit the Amtrak.

Today was the first time we've eaten here in years. We were seated immediately but we waited more than 40 minutes for the food to come. We watched people leave because they could not wait for their food any longer. At first, I thought a chef must have called out. When our food finally came, I was forced to look at the most unappealing home fries that were molded to the plastic container they were stored in. At least try to make them look fresh bru. And the whole restaurant was cold. I was cold. The food was cold. This place should be called COLD Street Diner, am I right? And the coffee refill came like once. In the whole hour and a half we were there. The only times someone would walk by was to clear a table, or that guy idk who he is idk if he's the owner but he was wearing balenciaga sweatpants and then he would just go stand by the register to sip on some wine. My mother ordered the huevos rancheros and they were bland asl. I ordered the birria omelette and it was BLAND EVERYTHING WAS BLAND!!! The birria was just wet it didn't taste like anything bro. We haven't been to the Norwalk location but a lady sitting next to us noticed that we weren't happy with our food and she was speculating that all the good cooks got transferred there. Whether it's the cooks to blame, or the fact that it's a busy Saturday, it's safe to say we will not be coming back.

Sorry that this review was sitting in my drafts since December!…read more Came here after work for happy hour. At first I got a little anxious because the bar was so busy, and loud. what stood out most was the service from Jenna, who was honestly a great bartender and really made the night feel welcoming. I wish I could say the same for the other bartender I saw, who came off a bit uncourteous to a man who accidentally spilled his shot. I tried a couple of their happy hour bites. The pineapple chili wings were juicy, flavorful, and good. On the other hand, my friend's garlic parm was kind of dry and flat in flavor, which was disappointing. Drinks were okay, but mine felt a bit weak on the alcohol side, especially for the price. Overall, it felt a little overpriced for what we got. Good for a night out and social energy, but a bit inconsistent depending on what you order and who's working.

Was here to meet my daughter for Sunday brunch @ 11 am. The restaurant was about 25% occupied and…read morethe bar was empty. Once we were seated the waiter arrived asking about drinks which we declined in favor of bottled water, i ordered coffee as well and was offered 1 whole cup. Nobody came around for refill the rest of the meal We each ordered an appetizer and a main, both of our mains featuring 2sunny side up. 15 -20 minutes later BOTH entrees and my appetizer arrive WTF? After that our server just seemed to disappear. My daughter had hangar steak & eggs. I had the pork carnitas and eggs. Both our order's eggs were ordered sunny side up. Typically it's the yolks that are runny but both of our orders had runny whites as well. All this time we waited on the other appetizer to arrive. For a place that was not very busy the service was galactically awful. The food was passable but not great. The banana bread appetizer arrived as the busboy came to take our entree dishes. And that was after 2 reminders to our waiter (both appetizers were taken to go). Whoever is running this place (nobody game by asking how our meal was) should be embarrassed. When i spoke with our waiter about the abysmal service he passed it off on the busboy! There is no sense of teamwork nor pride in doing a good job. Sad.

I went to The Wheel for brunch for the first time and had such a lovely time. The menu was great…read more My table shared the breakfast pizza, the smoked salmon pizza, and the oysters. All three were fantastic. The breakfast pizza had us craving more, and the oysters were fresh, delicious, and delicately shucked. I tried the chilaquiles and the short rib hash. The chilaquiles were very good, despite being a bit different from the red-sauce version I'm used to. But omg, the short rib hash was SO GOOD. This is an absolute killer dish. I've never been a huge fan of hollandaise sauce, but they put it on the side for me, and honestly, it blended extremely well with the flavors of the hash. The "5 O'Clock Somewhere" cocktail is refreshing and gave me a very light buzz that paired well with the delicious options we ordered. The staff is friendly and very attentive, and the spot itself is very clean, spacious, and stunning. I would definitely visit this spot again.
