    Long day in Greenwich.. no reservation so we waited by the bar for the restaurant to open (at 5). of course we had to partake in happy hour. The happy hour prices cut the regular menu prices in half so definitely would recommend. The restaurant is beautiful. Everyone at the bar was raving about the espresso martini's! Got to our table around 5:20 - ordered the seafood rice and arroz con pollo. Very simple dishes but were very good and fresh. Would recommend this restaurant in you're in Greenwich for the day!

    Tuna Tartare Lettuce Cups

    Brunch at Happy Monkey did not disappoint. The Crunchy Mexican Spiced French Toast is a must! We ordered it as dessert and it was the perfect ending to the meal Such a cute trendy spot in downtown Greenwich and I'm still thinking about those Tuna Tartare Lettuce Cups. Also our service was great Crunchy Mexican Spiced French Toast Tuna Tartare Lettuce Cups Braised Brisket Tacos Crispy Gulf Flounder Tacos Market Caesar Salad

    This place is amazing. Their drinks are fresh and made by friendly and attentive bartenders. I had the ginger marg and basil marg. The food is tooo good. I need to eat the arroz con pollo every day. The crispy chicken and flavorful rice is my guilty pleasure. Bonus points for their chocolate pudding that's VEGAN! Love it here

    Had heard about this place and was so happy to finally check it out! We made a reservation for brunch. We got seated right away in a very comfortable booth. To start we had the tortillas with the three salsas. For my entree I had the eggs Benedict. My friends ordered the warm mushroom salad and the burger. We all enjoyed our meals! Two of us were too full for dessert but the other ordered the chocolate mousse. Bonus points: it's vegan! The service was great and would definitely be back. One thing to note: not sure if it was a special day for them or not but they had a photographer snapping photos of random tables. Greenwich elites?

    Corn focaccia rocks

    Sleek, sexy & Tropical channeling Indochine not what you'd expect in Greenwich. Jean George has created a great dining destination in Connecticut where local bounty abounds. Ate: Corn focaccia Grilled mitakes in a Chile vinaigrette Flounder tacos Spanish wine Total: $72/ with tip Everything was tip top from decor to food to wine & service m. A delightful lunch in downtown Greenwich.

    Churros and the Caramel sundae!

    We came here for a drink and dessert - it was amazing! The churros and sundae were so so good, perfectly sweet and exactly what I needed. The bar tender was also great!

    Espresso Martini

    You will be a Happy Monkey when you come to this place. This place gives off really fun vibes and does not disappoint. As my followers know, I am a huge fan of Espresso Martinis and have very high standards. This place does not disappoint. I was a very happy monkey after sipping on that espresso martini. Hands down ONE OF THE BEST ESPRESSO MARTINIS (without bailey's) I have ever had. Javier makes them really well. The food here looks exceptional. I could see myself coming here for dinner. The food looks spectacular and everyone around me seemed to be enjoying their food. Their strawberry ice cream dessert looked incredible. The service here is very good. Amenities: Full bar (cocktails, wine, and canned beers) Free wifi Table service Happy monkeys (or maybe that's just the people next to you hyped up on caffeine from too many espresso martinis) Overall experience: A+ Atmosphere A+ Drinks A+ Service A+ Probability of returning: High Chance of leaving to bar hop: Low

    Chicken tacos
    Dave G.

    Fun vibes (we actually prefer dinner at the bar), great drinks, and great food. From the same owner/chef as ABC Kitchen and ABC Cocina in Manhattan. A number of dishes are carried over from ABC Cocina. That said, I'd grab the arroz con pollo over this pictured chicken taco dish which was just too, well, fried. Just keep in mind you're paying Jean Georges prices in Greenwich, so it's going to cost you.

    Flounder tacos
    Linda D.

    We were shopping on the Avenue, had this bookmarked so we went in. It was a Monday afternoon and neither one of us felt like a drink..... a very rare occasion. Our server was on point. She went over the menu with us. We ordered the trio of salsa with chips. I ordered the fried flounder tacos, and my husband ordered the crispy chicken tacos. Everything we had was delicious. It all came out in a timely fashion. Would definitely visit again.

    What a beautiful restaurant on Greenwich Ave! So far I think this restaurant has the best vibe out of the ones I've visited so far on the Avenue. They have a great menu and really professional servers. Favorites included the Cuban and the croquette appetizer. The pear and cranberry crumble was such a cozy dessert! I'll definitely be keeping this spot in mind for future Greenwich visits!

The bar in the front was busy but the dining room was pretty empty so we were able to choose our table. First thing that stood out to me was the cute vibes of the place. The art work on the walls and different backdrops- great for a photo session. We were given two paper menus and an iPad with photos of the food. That was pretty cool, especially for someone like me who likes to see photos of the food I'm eating before I even choose a restaurant. Service was fine and staff were friendly however the wait time for our food especially in an empty dining room took a while. Now, the food was AMAZING. We ordered Cuba Tabaco y Ron (Latino eggrolls) as an app - SO good. We got a Lomo Sushi Roll to share, which was tasty. I got the Roasted Pernil and my husband got the Honey Glazed Salmon. Both were delicious and filling. Would definitely check this place out if you enjoy Latin fusion food. It's such a cute and romantic place. I will say I got a headache from the red lights above us, I wish there would have been more clear lighting at the table but regardless this is a place to check out.

    Dined here recently for dinner. I had booked an outdoor table, but it ended up being too chilly to…read moresit outside--thankfully the staff was accommodating. It had been years since my last visit, so it felt like a brand-new experience. I made a reservation online, though it wasn't really necessary that evening. Still, it's a plus that you can easily choose between indoor and outdoor seating when booking. Parking in their onsite lot is another convenience. The restaurant has a cozy, intimate feel, and there's a small bar that offers a happy hour Tuesday through Friday from 4-7 PM. We started with cocktails: a refreshing white sangria with mango and a mojito. Both were well-made and reasonably priced--$7 and $8. For appetizers, we had the coconut shrimp served over sliced plantains with a lemongrass sauce. The flavors were good, but the shrimp were noticeably over-fried (see my video), which took away from what could have been a standout dish. Sonora's menu offers a diverse Latin-inspired selection with dishes from South America, Cuba, Mexico, Portugal, and Puerto Rico. I was intrigued by the variety. I chose a Cuban-inspired dish: Angus skirt steak served with lobster and plantain fried rice and topped with a quail egg saffron lime garlic mojito sauce. The steak was tender and cooked to order, but the fried rice was underwhelming--just a hint of lobster flavor with only a few tiny pieces of lobster. The quail egg was nicely done. My friend ordered a Colombian dish: chicken stuffed with sweet plantain, goat cheese, peppers, and chorizo, served with saffron mashed potatoes and a sweet sherry sauce. She loved it and said the portion size was generous--I passed on a taste but took her word for it! They also offer brunch, jazz nights, and a paella night, which I'd love to check out in the future. I'll definitely return when the weather is warmer to enjoy their outdoor seating.

    Ambiance was colorful and vibrant Everything thing we had…read morewas excellent and the white mango sangria was so strong! They do not skimp on the alcohol!
