    Chicken and beef platters.

    Excellent dishes. Went with the chicken skewer platter. Interior renovation looks clean and neat in classic Greek white.

    menus on the wall
    Jay J.

    We were looking for a good lunch spot when traveling in Norwalk. Pontos Taverna was rested highly, so we decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did. It was really good. When you enter, the menu stand is on the left. The restaurant is basically a big room with several tables spread through the room and the order counter on the back left. It's simple but nice. I ordered the chicken souvlaki platter. It was served with orzo, tzatziki, pita bread, and a tomato and red onion mix. The chicken was flavored very well, and it all fit well together. I highly recommend Pontos Taverna.

    Fries

    The restaurant was clean, cozy and slightly minimalistic. The waitress was extremely friendly and the service was pretty quick. Unfortunately, they happen to be out of everything beef that day. I was slightly disappointed, but ended up ordering the pork souvlaki. I have to say, the pork was so tender and delicious. The Tzaziki sauce was excellent as well. The fries were well-made, and I'm not a huge french fry fan. The sandwich was slightly small, but enough to fill you up. The gluttony in me wanted a bigger sandwich. I would definitely go back if I'm ever in the area again. Hopefully, they'll have beef.

    Greek salad with chicken

    Both myself and my coworker had the small Greek salad and a chicken souvlaki on top. Cucumber and tomatoes fresh like it was summer. Great l7nch dish.

    chicken skewers with rice and vegetables

    Ordered here for the first time tonight and I was so impressed! Will be ordering again in the future! Teddy took my order and was so helpful and kind! Super amazing service! The spicy whipped feta was absolutely unbelievable! I wish I had a chance to take a photo but we ate it before I had the chance! The tzatziki was also very delicious. The chicken Souvlaki platter was very filling. Chicken was tender and perfectly seasoned. Pita was hot and fresh out of the oven! The Greek salad tasted very authentic and fresh, I wish they served over a lettuce mix however that's just my own personal preference. Overall very good!

    Amazing fish
    Debrin S.

    Interior is sparse, acoustics require attention. There wasn't any back round music for ambiance. Slightly awkward staff but it could have been an off day. Most weekends are booked solid so reservations are suggested or come earlier than the dinner crowd. Typical of most Greek Resturant's they highlight Greek wines. So that was disappointing as they aren't my go to favorites. However, the cuisine was delicious. Our warm feta appetizer with long hot peppers didn't disappoint. The chicken souvlaki was moist, flavorful and the orzo salad was a nice accompaniment. But the shing star was the exceptional sauté fish. Perfectly prepared, tender, lightly floured, pan sautéed, slightly lemony, was outstanding. The baklava wasn't the best we've had but the coffee was strong and smooth.

    Always a delight!!! The creamy smooth decadent almond cake!

    Still amazing, still go all the time (for takeout through and now post COVID). Sadly, Garden Cinema closed so that's no longer an option.

    What a great space. There is lots of outdoor seating, a fire pit to keep the area warm, the music…read morewas bumping. A couple of bars in the area so if one of them is packed, you can go to a different one across the space. The food was very good- got the marg pizza and jalepeño poppers and a couple of beers. Definitely on the pricier side for food, the personal pizza was $17 and poppers $12, but they were tasty and I would come again. A nice spot to meet up with friends after work, and I believe they do weekend and/or Sunday brunch. Ample parking. Hidden gem!

    Love can be a funny thing…read more Before recently, I had never even heard of this place. However, what brought me here comes from a name I do recognize: Jillin It. These are matchmaker events hosted by Jill, and I know of some neat love stories that came from her events. I had actually been meaning to go to another Jillin It Event for some time, but for various it just never quite aligned. Example, I might have gone to Elicit Brewery over in Black Rock for the Valentine's Day event less than three months back, but I was in the height of recovering from H Pylori. Tonight though, I was feeling much better and I've trusted Jill's services enough for a while that I decided to go to this one. Yes, I am a hopeless single, but I'm a hopeless single that enjoys going to meet new people every now and then! We were given a ticket voucher for a drink at the bar as a part of our ticket prices. There were plenty of options that sounded good, but in the end I went with the Evil Genius Trick or Treat Chocolate Pumpkin Porter. It's a very IPA kind of drink, but the notes of chocolate were subtle yet easily identifiable. I do appreciate the bartenders here for being patient with me while I took my sweet time being the world's worst drink decider. I also grabbed up a Build A Pie as I needed food to eat right this very second when I got in. It's the first time in a while that I had tomato sauce in my pizza, but everything else I got as a topping are quite a bit like what I would choose for pizza toppings. In order as it appeared on my receipt, I had fresh mozzarella, shredded mozzarella, ricotta, bacon, basil, garlic, and hot honey. Honestly, for those toppings, the price was actually pretty good! After a $6.33 tip, I paid $28.34 for the pizza. It was a thin crust, wood-fired, and definitely a crispy lil boo thang! It's not the best pizza I've ever had, but that's because compared to other pizzas I've had this has very stiff competition. This was a W pizza right here! It hit the spot when I needed it and it's something I would order again. The ambiance however is really where one should put the most weight in when having anything from a place like this. It's a primarily outdoor place, so it was a good thing I came here on a nice evening in May! I can't imagine this being popular in the winter months or when it's raining. But it's perfect for large groups, and certainly an event like tonight's! It's great for social outings. I'm gonna go ahead and give this a 4 based on my first impressions of the place. It's definitely a good spot with good service. Long as you don't mind the kids running around and come on a good weather day, you're in for a treat! Before I go, let's bring the subject back to love for a bit. It's not easy. In fact, love can be a very hard game to play. But it works in mysterious ways. If your door is open, then let your heart be your guide.

Drinks are great. No issue with food. And the seating area/couches are kept pretty well maintained so you feel comfortable actually staying awhile. I only went in the morning so the place was still a cafe and shared workspace then. I think in the evening it transforms into a brewery. Inside it's very large and spacious, definitely quiet enough people could work but large enough you don't feel crowded. Most tables were already filled with 1-2 people working on tablets and laptops by the time I got there, but thankfully I was able to find some comfortable seating. If you want to snag a spot I suggest you arrive early - seems to be a popular place. I wish it was just a tiny bit easier for me to get in, but that's not a big deal as well. I had a stroller with me - you can enter from the back ramp if you're unable to take stairs for any reason but you just need to call them because the door is locked otherwise. Not a real issue, but I think I just wish it was open in general so I don't feel like an inconvenience to employees. I understand the business decision however. Overall, highly recommend.

I've walked by their parking lots and had to navigate my way past cars coming to eat here. And then there's a few times where I had ordered from this place on UberEats. It would be their pulled pork Mac and cheese I would get delivered 3 miles up the road to where I work, and I thoroughly enjoyed it every time I've had it. Last night, I had finally come here in person. After an in-service function at my job, me and my best friend from work went here for dinner. Honestly, it was a much needed night. I will say that parking for the dinner rush is pure hell. If you do manage to find a good parking spot during dinner rush, go buy a lottery ticket. But once we did find a space to park (the downpour from earlier made me have to both channel my inner Olympic gymnast and wish I could levitate so that I could miss the rain puddle where I was to get out), it wasn't too bad to get in. You have a little Photo Booth before you even get into the restaurant proper which we saw a kid using upon our arrival. The interior is definitely reminiscent of rustic British atmospheres. Not like being transported back to the medieval times so much as going to an old town British bar where you might either drink 80 beers with a group of vikings or end up as part of the chaos during Gaston's song sequence from Beauty and the Beast. It took a moment to decide what we wanted, but we were seated right away since we were just two people. I decided to start myself off with "The Jasmine Blossom", which has a Japanese gin base. Ever tried drinking a flower? Ever thought that that flavor tasted good? That's what I got from this drink. As for food, my friend had the Buttermilk Ranch Crunch Wrap, opting for sweet potato fries for a side, and my order was the hot honey chicken sandwich with the regular fries. I wanted to do something different from what I had previously had delivered this time around. I would say we both enjoyed our meals, but I do definitely think while my fries did have a good crisp to it, the sweet potato fries were the better fry. As described by my friend, the Crunch Wrap she had was sweet. Not in a sickening way, but sweet in how a way that makes a crunch wrap tasty. As for my sandwich, it looked like a burger at first. That was until I took a closer look at it and saw that this was indeed chicken. I dislocated my jaw and took my first bite. The hot honey made the overall sandwich sweet. Not sickeningly sweet, but the kind of sweet that makes a hot honey chicken sandwich tasty. I will say that the bottom of my sandwich struggled to hold its contents. It flopped in the middle, and it was a lot of work trying to hold it together to finish. The chicken was indeed juicy, and probably contributed to why the bottom struggled to keep itself together. But DAMN was it good! The prices honestly weren't bad either. For what I had, it came out to $33.32 which might seem like a lot until you realize it was both the sandwich and the cocktail on my tab. And no, I did not make that total up! That's what it showed on my tab. Speaking of, I do like the nice touch of getting post cards and a "Little Pub" sticker given to us on our tabs. Mine had Godzilla on it. They were pretty funny like that. We were in and out in maybe a slight bit over an hour, which honestly isn't bad given everything typed in this review. I'd definitely get food from here again, but maybe next time I try it I'd do well to wait for a time not so busy to come.
