Really good late night food option. Maybe the beer talking, of which there were many options, but the best French Dip I've had in many years.

Great place to hangout with other alcoholics in the historic uptown area of Norwalk. Wings get the job done and you free pizza at midnight if you make it

The food - amazing. Carlos, in the dining area- amazing. Atmosphere- wicked cool. Came back 2 nights in a row. Save room for dessert (it’s a tough thing to do). I’m from Boston, but I love this place!

Excellent spot if you’re pregnant. They have dishes that you didn’t realize you were craving until you read it on the menu, like turkey stuffing egg rolls with cranberry sauce and apple enchiladas. Obsessed ❤️
