Nice selection of sandwiches and soups of the day but like I said, I came for the lobster roll. It was served on a regular sesame bun but if you just flip it sideways... bingo!

Slightly off the beaten path, I surmise it is well known to Darien residents. The layout is somewhat unusual -- you enter into the dairy aisle, with produce at the other end of the building. Make sure you try the prepared foods -- the chicken scarpariello meatballs are our favorite item so far. Soups were excellent -- chicken matzo ball, sausage gumbo and carrots ginger all pleased. Pulled pork was savory but could have used some sauce. At Easter they were sampling delicious ham and scalloped potatoes. Fresh meats appeared to be of high quality, I can vouch for the hamburger patties. The fish counter is small and is not attended by a fishmonger. I've only had free samples of the baked goods so far, but they look great. Produce is solid, but as expensive as you would expect from a gourmet market in Darien. Service from the counter folks and check out was uniformly excellent.

They also carry basic household items and fresh flowers. Since Rowayton Market is close to my workplace, I decided to swing by for lunch. When I walked in, it was bustling. I ordered the East Beach sandwich, which had grilled chicken, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. The ingredients felt incredibly fresh, and the bread complemented them perfectly. I overheard many customers asking for that sandwich, and now I see why. On my next visit, I went for a salad with just as fresh ingredients. The market has a coffee area in the back where you can buy coffee, and there is also a seating area with a waterfront view. The customer service is friendly, and I'll definitely be coming back again.

I practically lived at the…read moreIthaca Wegmans during my undergrad years in upstate NY, so seeing one pop up right here in Norwalk is a total game-changer. The first thing you notice is the vibe--it feels more like an open-air market than a standard grocery store. It's huge, incredibly well-lit, and just feels "clean." Honestly, it's a breath of fresh air compared to some of the other spots around here that are starting to look a bit worn down. You can tell they actually maintain and scrub the place daily. The selection is honestly overwhelming in the best way possible. Their prepared food section is elite--I'm talking a full sushi bar, custom pizzas, a hot bar, and a deli that actually makes a decent sandwich. Plus, there's a whole second floor with tables and chairs if you want to hang out and eat there. A few things that make this my new go-to: * The Price: I was shocked at how competitive they are. They're giving Costco a run for their money on a lot of items, and they're definitely cheaper than the other local chains. * The Location: It's right across from Costco, Target, and Home Depot. I can get my entire weekend "to-do" list done without driving to different places. * The Parking: Huge private lot with two floors, so I've never had a stressful time finding a spot. * The Staff: Everyone is genuinely friendly. It makes sense, though--Wegmans is famous for actually paying their people well and taking care of them, and you can really feel that reflected in the service. The produce and meat are as fresh as it gets, but the overall experience is what sells it. Sorry, Stew Leonard's, but you've officially got some serious competition. 5 stars, easily.

Hidden Gem for Fresh Seafood!…read more Paganos is one of those places you would never find unless someone who knows about it takes you there. That would be my brother's wife. Tucked away in a warehouse area, it truly feels like a hidden gem. My brother drove us there, and I had no idea what to expect, but as soon as we walked in, I knew we had found something special. The selection of fresh seafood was outstanding, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the prices were unbelievable. We ended up buying a large piece of grouper, a bunch of stuffed clams, and several lobster tails for dinner. Everything was incredibly fresh, and we had an absolute feast that night. What impressed me most were the prices. At the time, their fish was actually less expensive than what I could find in South Florida, and that's saying a lot considering fresh seafood is everywhere down there. The quality-to-price ratio is hard to beat. It's easy to see why they have such a loyal following. Great products, fair prices, and people you can trust. If you're looking for fresh, high-quality seafood, do yourself a favor and check out Paganos. You'll be glad you did! Highly recommended! Get down to check them out. Great Find!

Even our mom, who initially didn't want to go for the poke version, ended up very happy to share our entrees once she sampled them. The only thing I missed at this location where the kale noodles that another offers. Just because they caught our eye (as they are supposed to do) at the register, we tried both cookies as well as the brownie on offer.

Don't order from the kitchen menu, only the sushi menu. We found their kitchen menu to be sorely lacking. The miso soup had decent flavour but barely and tofu or seaweed. The udon was bland. The yakitori dry. The tempura flavourless. Even the edamame was disappointing and unsalted. Stick with the sushi.
