Quality food, clean, classic diner feel. Got a breakfast sandwich. It came in a roll which is usually a bad sign. But not here. Delicious roll with eggs (2), bacon, cheese. Very good. Got the fruit cup. A little melon heavy but fine. Wife got breakfast burritos that she says was great. Service efficient and friendly. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately my wrap was really bad, borderline inedible. The wrap was grilled, why would you grill a wrap with cold lettuce??? Not even grill... PANINI PRESS. The lettuce was wilted, hot, and disgusting. Just when I think I'm over it, I have an intrusive thought about how bad this wrap was. It was so bad that a day later it is distracting me from my daily tasks. I think this wrap fundamentally changed my world view, and it will take a long time to recover and become the man I was before I attempted to eat this $13 catastrophe. Not much else to say really... Sad.

Small chicken souvlaki salad
Anika T.

Nice little deli off of SONO busy street. Parking is super tight and almost non existent and then you need to pay for meter parking. The staff was less than welcoming. It's a normal deli nothing to really write home about. The tuna melt cheese was barely melted we asked for avacado to be added and you could barely see it. Another coworker ordered Rueben with a side salad and the salad was added in the take out container along with his hot salad so by the time we got back to office it was pretty wilted. Souvlaki salad had very moist chicken that was flavored well and one grape leaf with mushy tomatoes. As you walk out of the deli towards the back entrance you see a stand up violet with glass see through casing that had open cake box and veggies that were just loosely tossed in, wasn't a great look. Maybe just an off day? They do take credit card

Only spotted by the gentleman working behind the counter. He said hello and asked if I'd like some water. I said I'd like coffee. He worked quickly to get me a cup. He had to keep nudging the other waitress to help me. Finally she asked if i needed a menu. It wasn't automatic, which was odd. No actual greeting to welcome me to the restaurant. She didnt ask if i needed my parking validated. After i arrived, more people came in and the " Good Mornings "" we're flowing.... Wish I was greeted like that.... Just saying.... Hollandaise sauce for my eggs Benedict was bland. There was no flavor to it. Very plain.

Bacon Egg & Cheese  sandwhich   Side of corned beef hash
Markus D L.

With a few tweaks, This place has the potential to be great. Staff may be one of their biggest downfalls. First, no one speaks when you walk in the door. I wasn't sure if I could just sit anywhere, or if I had to order first then choose a table. I went to the bar/counter and just sat down because it felt safe. Throughout my meal I noticed other people walking thru the front door experiencing the same thing; no one speaking, looking confused, & being unsure of where to go and what to do. Food was good. What I wanted they were out of, so I went with a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwhich with a side of corned beef hash. The sanwhich had a very comforting corner store feel. Corner stores & delis typically make the best bacon egg cheese sanwhiches. The hash was fresh and had the crunchy pieces that I like to give it texture and that homey feeling. Customer service wasn't bad, until your thirsty and your server isn't paying any attention to see you're out of juice. Lol. They have free parking on the side and behind the building. I asked about the parking and was told that I had to put my license plate # in an i-pad, which I never saw. I didn't know, so My server did it for me. That's when I realized the slight issue... They treat everyone as if they had been there several times before. It's a slight cockiness, like we don't have to earn your loyalty and trust, you should already be a fan." OnceI recieved the check, like that was the end of my service. I just left the money on the bar. Didn't get a thank you, have a nice day, good bye, a smile or anything from my server or any other employees, so as I was walking out, I thought about it, tuned around and went back to retrieve some of the excess tip money. Felt like just another number and totally Unappreciated... Return: Maybe if I'm walking around or at an event in the area, but intentionally? Probably not

Great service, friendly staff and a clean restaurant. Unfortunately the food just wasn't good. The cheesesteak tasted more like ground beef than chopped steak. Also tried the Turkey Club, which was decent but not memorable. If you're in SoNo, there are a lot of great restaurants. This one will work in a pinch.

All in 1 Sandwich
Manny L.

I don't know why we keep giving this place chances. Probably due to convenience. Doubt the owner will bother contacting us as his staff was protective of giving out his name and refused to let me be able to talk to him. He's "in and out" when I asked what time he would be in. We ordered the "All In One"; which is Bacon, Sausage, Egg, and Cheese with potatoes. My wife bites into it and she found that it was pretty much just a potato sandwich. We opened it up and found one slice of bacon on the left one half sausage link on the right and a slice of ham. Not to be picky but normally when you pay double the price for three meats you actually get the three meats normal portion. We called as we thought this was a error by the Chef. The server called back and confirmed that's how they make it. So another words when you order the "All In One" they decrease all the normal amount of meat you get when you order a bacon/egg or sausage/egg or ham/egg when they make it and charge you double the price and pack it full of hash browns. DO NOT ORDER THIS. Waitress was pretty rude by the way like she couldn't be bothered for us questioning this. She requested us to bring it back so they could "show the chef" when I told her I'd be happy to send them pictures vs. walking all the way back she backed down as if we were trying to pull a fast one. Photos below. I'd be happy to consider changing the review score if the owner calls. Pretty crappy you have to make an offer to get a hold of the owner...be better.

Love the food here, pictured is a 2 egg breakfast platter done over easy with multi grain toast and sausage. I come here all the time and their Taylor ham aka pork roll is so good! Coffee is always on point as well.

My friends and I wanted to see what the fuss was about, so we went here for lunch. Wow am I glad we…read moredid. Ambience wasn't anything special but the waitstaff were enthusiastic and they know how to have fun (two of them randomly broke out into song behind the bar). Food was spectacular. I started with the gnocchi alla vodka. The gnocchi was the perfect texture; pillowy with a bit of bite. The vodka sauce was creamy, cheesy and savory. Since this restaurant is all about over the top meals, they dropped a Parmesan encrusted fried burrata on top, which was crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. I loved this immensely. Then I got something off the viral section of the menu;: the fried chicken Mac n cheese monster burrito. The Mac n cheese tasted very average, but the fried chicken had an excellent flavor and the "special sauce" is definitely worthy of being called special. Smoky, creamy and wonderfully seasoned. Thankfully they give you a syringe filled with it when they bring it to you; I made sure to use it ALL. It also comes with waffle fries which were seasoned as if they were curly fries; they were crispy and very delicious. Believe the hype!! This place is fantastic and I highly recommend it!!

They have special desserts that really are for 2-4 people not 1. They do love to celebrate birthdays with the whole staff singing! The menu is very strict and they would not just bring 1 pancake for the toddler at our table at whatever the cost or an extra bowl of fruit. Both of the items were part of a bigger meal that would have been wasted if ordered.

Terrain Café is one of those places where the atmosphere is just as much a part of the experience…read moreas the food. It is located right next to their beautiful nursery and plant shop, and it's a really nice spot to grab lunch and then browse around for plants before or after. I ordered their crab flatbread, and the first thing that surprised me was how generous they were with the crab meat, mixed in with cabbage and charred asparagus. The asparagus had a nice char and flat and the cabbage added a nice crunch and texture. The flat bread itself was a little crunch which was interesting and I love how it wasn't overly heavy or rich. The flat bread came with a side salad with really fresh greens. It was so fresh and crunchy that my 9 year old son stole it from me and proceeded to devour the entire salad himself. Also, the setting is what really makes Terrain special. Being surrounded by plants and greenery, with the nursery and shop right next door, gives the whole experience a very relaxed and inviting feel. It's the kind of place where you can easily spend a little extra time after lunch wandering around and looking at all the plants and other items they have to offer. Our server was friendly although it was slow at times but we figured out it was the coffee bar that was slow. Overall, we really enjoyed our lunch there and would be happy to return again when we are in the area.

Sadly this spot has fallen off. Went on a Sunday night and had a pretty rough experience. It felt…read morelike they were super understaffed - only 2 or 3 waitstaff for the whole place. The menu is pretty stale, and they were out of 3 of the entrees. The food was ok. We got the hummus - it tasted fine, not much better than store bought, and the pita or whatever it was was burnt. The grain bowl was also just ok - the chicken has a hospital or airplane quality to it. And I guess this is more of a reflection of the kind of restaurant Terrain has become, but it felt like a daycare. Kids everywhere screaming. Parents not doing much to stop it. I get it, kids can be hard. But nobody cares anymore. Food all over the floor, shrieks echoing in the small dining room. Oof, it was just not a great time.

The decor is phenomenal, tasteful, and not over the top, with legends of folklore, music, and movies. The service was amazing as well.

The server told me that most of the business is on Sunday for folks who go after church. However, please go during the week because their drink selection, happy hour, and the food, ¡está de madre! We need to support the businesses on Main Street, as many of them are closing. I would hate for this spot to close as well. We know South Norwalk is changing. Some say for the better, some say otherwise. However, we just want the neighborhood to keep its community feeling, attracting new businesses and new neighbors, like myself, and keeping these mom-and-pop stores alive and thriving.
