Sazerac at the top of the menu? Somebody gets it.
Bobby L.

Stopped in here for a quick cocktail while waiting for friends and we ended staying for dinner. Great drinks, friendly bartenders and food was what you'd hope for in a modern establishment. Meaning it was a well thought menu and the quality was there. The ambiance was good for a date night and I'll likely go back with my wife.

I've wanted to stop in here for quite some time. I was not disappointed! This is a very well thought out restaurant -- From the concept, to the interior, the drinks and obviously the delicious food. There are very few farm to table places that wow me with their dishes. These are transformative and artful. The Halibut was the shining star, paired with a beautifully executed Beurre Blanc and a medley of vegetables that are both warm and fresh. The sweet peppery basil was an amazing touch as a garnish. Nothing clashed. The shishitos however did not hit the mark for me. I was hoping to get a bit more flavor in the dish but the yogurt kind of overwhelmed everything else. The yuzu bar was very simple and tasty. Definitely worth a try if you want a GF dessert or something that isn't sickeningly sweet. Lastly, the peacock was delicious. Jamaican rum + coconut washed Campari = a delightfully bittersweet concoction. I would have had a few more but the bartender seemed a bit overwhelmed as it was a busy Saturday so the drink service lacked a bit. This did not affect my amazing experience and I will definitely return next time I'm out in SoNo. The takeaway: This is a must try. There aren't enough people talking about this place! Amazing food and drinks at fair prices.

I can't believe we had this dinner in SoNo tonight - my taste buds are shocked and pleasantly satiated! The food here keeps getting better - our second visit, the first when still operating under Bruxelles name but with this "new" menu. The sourdough can't be missed, the cocktails so posh and the foie with balsamic and strawberries was divine (sorry no photo). The pork skewer was so amazingly tender - little pillows of jowly goodness. Both duck and scallop entrees were the perfect portions, flavor and cook. Dessert was absolutely incredible - almost erupted in a literal fistfight with my husband over the last tasty morsels. This was the best Tuesday in years ... thank you Taproot!

Phenomenal!

OMG! Loved this meal. Came to celebrate a friend's birthday (in a snowstorm) but soooooo worth it! Great craft cocktails Great apps. Great food all around (especially the shrimp and grits and gnocchi and mushrooms!!!). Hats off to the chef. Great service too!!

What an incredible place for dinner. Amazing cocktails, unbelievable food, and the service at the bar and table were both top notch. Chef's pairings of flavors is so inventive and unique, this meal is unlike any that I've had anywhere else. We were in with a group and just ordered a bunch of things to share, highly recommended.

Pork collar skewer.  This melted in our mouths!  The spice of the sambal and sweetness of the Carmel onions is party dancing in your mouth!

Absolutely love Taproot. The Chef has got to be one of the best Chef's in CT and beyond! Lamb Patty melt is incredible. I can work my way up and down that menu all day if I could! Love. Love. Love this place! so happy they're in Norwalk now! Don't walk. Run to this place!!!

This spot is a hidden gem in Bethel. Only ordered from the small plates and everything was delicious and packed with flavor. Will return to try some of their entrees.

On our recent visit to Oak + Almond, third time in the last year, our group of 10 was very pleased…read morewith the hospitality from Robert G. (Bobby) in the restaurant and Jessica in the bar. The food at Oak + Almond is consistently excellent, with large portions providing good value, and this visit was no exception. Appetizer highlights included Brussels sprouts and octopus. Entrees including wood grilled pork chops, chicken Milanese, branzino and Bucatini Allo Scoglio were all excellent. Dessert highlights were chocolate sea salt tart and gelato. It's a little noisy with no carpet or drapes to muffle the sound, but well worth the visit.

I came here for lunch and dinner and every visit was consistently excellent. The food, service, and…read moreatmosphere all made this place an easy favorite. 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

For entrées, we ordered the short rib, pork chop, duck, scallops, and tagliatelle pasta and every dish impressed us. Kyle was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and gave amazing recommendations.

A bit confusing where to park since it was dark and we had no idea where we were. But then saw valet sign so that was nice. I went in and greeted kindly by hostess & luckily didn't need a reservation for the 3 of us. Sat right away and offered water (bottled, sparkling or tap!). Also offered bread. My mother-in-law & I split the Cesar salad (they actually split for us!) love that it had real anchovies and crispy lettuce. We also split the Shrimp & Polenta. Nice large shrimp & creamy polenta. Our friend had lobster & pasta dish which was delish. I had the Gimlet, which was super tasty & she had a lemon drop martini and our friend had a nice margarita. Service was great, we enjoyed everything!
