    New England Clam Chowder Special
    Jessica G.

    Was looking for good seafood close to 95 in Norwalk and Norm's fit the bill. We found parallel parking on the street close by. Sit down service or takeout, with a small indoor area. There is some limited outdoor seating too. The clam chowder ($10 as of October '24) was delicious, as well as the lobster roll (market price was $38). The lobster roll was a split top, buttered bun with lightly mayo'd meat. Came with coleslaw, pickle slices, and chips. My friend ordered the fried oyster roll and reported that it tasted very good, but didn't have very many pieces of oyster in it.

    Every thing was great, seafood was fresh. Lobster was sweet and tender. Fried oyster wasn't greasy. Was crunchy, light and the coleslaw lime and dill are the perfect accompany. The bread is soft and fluffy. The wings were good and messy this is a nitpick but I wish there were at least two flats. The only other issue I had was the table was sticky. I believe the wood finishing didn't cure correctly, this is a pet peeve of mine. But enough critiques the staff was great, food was great. Go and enjoy!

    First off this place is small, but has real big flavors. I had the lobster bowl, and was surprised on the depth of flavor not just from the lobster but everything else in it. Service was great. Street parking is available. A must try if your in Norwalk

    SOOO GOOD!! Came here for the lobster roll and they did not disappoint. It was $40 for the roll but they put the whole lobster in it, two claws and the tail. It comes in a warm butter sauce and has a special aioli spread at the bottom of the bun. Delicious!! I would come back for sure. Lobster roll was served with cape cod chips but you can switch it out for fries. We also got the lobster bisque to share and it was also amazing. So flavorful and has chunks of lobster in it. Comes with soup crackers. Service was super friendly and youthful. They're fast and it's a nice place to quickly sit down and enjoy good seafood.

    Lobster Roll and Steak and Cheese Roll

    Easily one of the best lobster rolls I've ever had and definitely the best one I've had in Connecticut! They have a ton of other options that looked great as well - we tried the steak and cheese which was so good and flavorful. The clam chowder was are also very tasty. Great vibes and attentive service as well!

My first meal was the Caesar salad, which was outstanding. The poached egg was cooked perfectly with that soft, medium‑boiled center I love. The Parmesan was fresh, the dressing was balanced, and the grilled chicken was a generous, well‑seasoned portion. Simple, clean, and delicious. The ambience is a huge part of the charm -- a cozy, wood‑cabin feel with a great bar setup. You can get full service at the bar, enjoy top‑shelf drinks, and watch the TVs without it feeling like a sports bar. It's a comfortable mix of locals and travelers, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. Benny behind the bar was great, and he made the experience even better with fun conversation and excellent service. For dinner, I tried the pasta with sausage, which was flavorful without being overly salty. You can tell they use quality ingredients. The mussels were a standout -- the broth was clean and delicious, with a white‑wine base, a touch of tomato, fresh herbs, and just the right kick from jalapeño. One of the best mussel dishes I've had in a while. The wine selection was also very good and paired nicely with the dishes I tried. After several meals back‑to‑back, I can confidently say this place delivers every time. Great food, great service, great vibe. I'll definitely keep coming back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a consistently excellent dining experience

    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.
