The Spread - Norwalk

With its unique menu and tasty dishes, the Spread is one of my favorite spots in SoNo. The dishes and consistently tasty and offer variety in the local food scene. Id recommend for dinner and brunch as both menus are wonderful.

Please note that this review is only for delivery of food ordered via Seamless and not an in-house order. The driver did not read my specific instructions for delivery. They left the order in a random spot in the lobby of my building, even though a generous tip was left for them. These instructions were left, in part, because I was sick and could not leave my apartment. After over an hour, I located the order, which was now cold and dry. When I rehydrated and rewarmed the dish, it was so dry and peppery that it was difficult to taste or swallow. After over an hour, I located the order, which was now cold and dry. When I rehydrated and rewarmed the dish, it was so dry and peppery that it was difficult to taste, swallow, or digest. It was a shame because the scallops were huge, delicious looking, and presented beautifully with a medley of cauliflower, ramps, garlic, and fresh green vegetables. Perhaps with a professional delivery staff and refinement of the chef's recipes, The Spread of Norwalk could be just that!

My fiancé and I were headed to the Norwalk Aquarium, so we wanted to check out a restaurant nearby for Saturday brunch yesterday. We liked the menu, so I made reservations for standard seating (specifically NOT selecting high tops or outdoor). We excitedly entered but did not feel very welcomed. If the standard dining room table was not an option, it should not be available on open table. We ordered two iced coffees. The staff brought us iced teas instead. When they brought the coffees it did not have the right milk. It took a few tries, but once we got the correct order it was delicious. I ordered the Shakshuka which was delicious and came with a ton of pita. My partner got the BLT, which he enjoyed as well. All in all, the food is fantastic and ambiance was great. Service needs some work.

We were looking to try a new spot and visit the new mall in Norwalk. Found this on Yelp. It was ok. I tried the eggs and grits. My mom got the fried chicken sandwich which although very nicely seasoned was not fried at all. I ordered the French toast which was the best part of the meal. Really yummy!! We ordered bottomless mimosas for $20 each and they kept the glasses full. Service was decent even though we were looking for our server at times, there were other staff that we asked for what we needed. It's a very cute place. The outdoor set up is nice as well. While we're glad to have tried it , we probably won't return.

Ambiance: pretty cool place with a nice setup. The outdoor-ish area allowed me to bring my dog which was nice for a rainy April day! This area has a fireplace and a small tv which was great to catch the nba playoffs. Service was overall good as there were a lot of people floating around helping out. The cajun chicken sammy was awesome! Delicious and grilled which was different from usual fried chicken sandwiches. BLT was massive but just ok as it was a bit dry. Both dishes came with a ton of fries which were good too. The salad was solid. I would come back here for sure just given the vibe, service, and chicken sandwich.
