There was street parking when we got there but they also have valet and some self parking in the back. As we walked in, the ladies at the host stand were so warm and inviting. They were also the cutest ever. They encouraged us to sit out on the patio versus the bar so we headed upstairs. Our waitress came over with menus and it went downhill from there. She was so inattentive that we had to ask the other waiter for things we needed. He was engaging, checked on us and we even chatted about his Jordanian heritage and my trip there back in December. Our actual waitress, however, checked on the table next to us 6 times (yes I counted) in between her checking on us. Even when I ordered a mocktail, I guess they didn't have the one I wanted so she brought me an entirely different drink without asking me. Then got upset when I didn't want it. The absolute audacity. As far as the food, we got the crab cake, lamb, whipped mashed potatoes and the bread. The food was good but the bread took it to another level. It should have been complimentary though but that's neither here nor there. Overall, loved the experience but wish we had another waitress. She didn't even acknowledge my friend's birthday. Sigh.

The food at The Bridge was delicious…read more The Tuna Tartare was fresh and tasty, the avocado was very well made as well. My steak was cooked perfectly. Melt in your mouth and so flavorful.

We had to ask for a bigger table and was led towards the end. Very interesting menu, we had the pu'er tea, which is not very commonly offered in the Chinese restaurants in the area. Love the teapot presentation and overall the branding effort. We tried to order the soup dumpling but was told something wasn't working properly and it's going to take over an hour so next time. Got wontons in chili oil, love the flavor. The mushu pork, a little bit too sweet for me. And the beef chow fun, just can't go wrong with that, and the szichuan pot with cumin lamp. I think this more authentic Chinese but my husband felt the lamb was too oily. I requested to get the little cute cat cup for my daughter's lemonade order and they said yes, so it was a very cute touch. Very happy with the visit definitely a lot of potential we will be back.

A Monday evening dinner at Lazy Sister in South Norwalk revealed an establishment caught between…read moreinventive kitchen ambitions and glaring housekeeping oversights. Sitting near the bar area immediately introduced a troubling environmental distraction: a genuinely noticeable swarm of flies and gnats hovering about, a clear indicator of lapses in sanitation and deep cleaning that significantly hobbled the dining experience. The menu offers its share of redemption, though strategy is required. The appetizer sampler platter is surprisingly massive, but it leans heavily into a barrage of fried food; unless you arrive starving, it is an easy skip. The true highlight arrived with the Mongolian beef--a decidedly modern twist on the classic, featuring beautifully caramelized vegetables and tender, expertly cooked beef packed with stellar flavor. Yet, culinary execution cannot entirely rescue a dining room plagued by uninvited winged guests. A mixed bag that ultimately leaves a sour note.

Ive been there for dinner time as well, it's lively, loud in a good way, and immediately feels like somewhere you could stay for hours. I ordered the miso ramen, and it was honestly one of the most satisfying bowls of ramen I've had in Connecticut. The broth was the star of the dish its deep, rich, savory, and layered with that perfect balance of umami and subtle sweetness from the miso and a bit nitty form the sesame seeds. The noodles had the perfect texture: chewy, springy, and able to hold onto the broth beautifully. Nothing was overcooked or mushy . What impressed me most was how balanced the ramen was. Some ramen spots go overboard with salt or spice, but this bowl felt refined. Rich but not greasy. Flavorful but not overpowering. You could tell there was actual technique behind it. The portion size was also generous enough to leave completely full without feeling uncomfortable afterward. The service matched the food perfectly and so freaking sweet.

Only drawback is everything is takeout, so it's a pretty wasteful experience with all the paper plates (the stairs leading up are probably too narrow for carrying dishes). The food was just so-so. Def one of those sceney places where prices are high and people dress up more to dine. The best dish was the soothing yuzu salmon over rice entree, while the chicken wings, crab fried rice, snd tofu pockets were all a little junky and overly dressed. Wouldn't come back but so loved that rooftop.

Ordered the seafood tower as an appetizer and they didn't squirm on the selection and portion- the seafood portions were huge and super fresh. The tuna appetizer we tried was good but had a off tasting sauce already mixed with the tartare The steaks were phenomenal cooked just as we asked had good amount of flavor and came out on time The only lack luster item was the chocolate soufflé it took forever to come out even though we ordered way in advance and it was mealy Parking - valet is offered or they have a lot that fills up rather quickly We will definitely be back but reservations are a must I
