    Creating sushi
    David O.

    You will not be disappointed! Everything is great here. Service, ambience, and of course, the food. Lunch specials are very reasonable and it is a beautiful setting indoors and outdoors. Quality seems to be very high. Great variety on the menu. Something for everyone. Great parking enhances the overall low stress experience!

    Meeting up with a friend for lunch and I made it very clear that I did not want to be the one to decide on a place, especially since we weren't going to be in my neighborhood. After the usual song and dance when no one wants to make the final decision, "Do you have a taste for anything?...what area would you prefer?...what are you hungry for?", the recommendation was made to get sushi from Bambou. And off we went. Ambiance Clean, simple, small booths, bigger tables, inside seating, outside seating (weather permitting). We went fairly early in the day so there was tons of natural lighting as well as some calm, dim lighting on the inside. Service Quick, kind, attentive...the holy trinity. They're not hovering over you but they are definitely not hard to find or get their attention if you need something. Food So...the order was rather extensive so I'll try to give you the "long story less long" version. Forgive me if I don't remember every single item and if i don't have a picture... - Crab Rangoon: banging! Crispy outer shell, with the soft cheesy interior - Rock Shrimp Tempura: amazing flavor, crunchy texture - Chicken & Pork Dumplings: standard pot stickerish dumpling. Good overall flavor. Solid choice - BBQ Spare Ribs: not what I was expecting. Thought it would have been the little ribletts that places often try to pass for "appetizer ribs." Nope! These were full sized, glazed, and perfectly cooked ribs! - Wild Ginger Roll, Rainbow Roll, Tiger Roll, Broiled Miso Cod Roll: *apologies in advance* so I grouped these all together because I don't remember the exact taste for each roll BUT I can give you some of my thought while eating... "Oh wow. That's really good" "The crunch on this one gives it a nice contract in the textures" "Whoa! Is that jalapeño?" "THIS ONE HAS ROE ON IT!!!" "Ooooouuuuu it's a little spicy...I LIKE IT!" - Coco Mojito: the name was too tempting not to try...and it didn't disappoint. Coco flavor, hints of mint, fizzy, refreshing mojito. Can't ask for much more than that. Overall I don't often try new sushi restaurants because it doesn't always turn out well for me, but I couldn't be happier that I found Bambou. Great food, great service, chill/calm vibe, doesn't kill my pockets, AND there's a parking lot! Now even though I've only been there for lunch, I can totally see me and the Mrs having a date night here. Until we meet again Bambou...

    Two years since my last review-- and even with Covid, nothing has changed except that the outdoor seating is now covered and heated... Bambou remains our favorite restaurant in Greenwich, and when we were here last night, all five of us were trading bites and delights until we were so stuffed we could barely make it home! The Halloween Roll is back, and we highly recommend the Eggplant and Shrimp in garlic sauce, the beef satay and-- of course-- the "Mom Rules Roll." A new favorite last night (in addition to fried shrimp gyoza dumplings, our constant favorite of the Blue Crab Avocado appetizer, the crab rangoon, the Salmon Samba, etc etc) was the special appetizer of spicy tuna on wasabi wheat crackers. Wow! Sooo good! Honestly, even the kids were all asking if we can get back again before the visit is over, and we're only here this time for three days! I would eat here every day if I could-- they're THAT good! YUM!!

    One star for good food and wine (the cheese/charcuterie board is an excellent value and the…read moreboquerones are tasty) , but the service is terrible. We're a local family that made it a point to come to dinner here at least once a month but our last visit was the last nail in the coffin. The younger waitress has never once smiled and has is always been all business but at least she doesn't bully and antagonize her tables. The chef was gruff, rude, and treated us noticeably different from all of the tables. When he brought out our bottle of wine and I said "yay that looks great!" he paused, gave me a dirty look, and said "you're determined not to have a good time, aren't you?"-- despite this being the first thing I said to him and his waitstaff directly beyond our order. Shocked, and not wanting to ruin the dinner for my dining companion, I brushed it off, but promised myself I would not return. The chef makes it a habit to complain about how busy he is, how understaffed he is, but also how long people take at tables-- and also seemingly makes arbitrary decisions about who and what he takes offense to. If the chef stays in the kitchen and gets waitstaff that understand what providing good customer service for -everyone- looks like, we'll be back, but at this rate and reading other reviews it looks like pigs will fly before that happens!

The owner runs the front of house while his wife cooks in the kitchen, and together they create an experience that feels personal, warm, and authentically Spanish. The food was phenomenal. We shared a mixed cheese and meat board to start. Then came the ham croquetas (the flavor changes daily, and we lucked out with my favorite), mini albóndigas (tender beef meatballs in tomato sauce) and champiñones (mushrooms in a rich brandy sauce). Every dish was flavorful and felt homemade. For dessert, we had the Torta de Santiago (almond cake), which was the special of the day -- light, nutty, and the perfect finish. The service was amazing. If you're looking for authentic Spanish tapas, this place is a must-try.

    I've been a massive fan of Jean-Georges ever since my days hitting up ABC Kitchen near Union…read moreSquare. Whenever I had meetings at our NYC office, I'd grab a seat at the bar there just to see what was new on the seasonal menu. So, when I heard he was bringing his culinary brilliance to Greenwich Avenue, I was ecstatic. Happy Monkey definitely lives up to the hype, but with a totally different energy. It's a "fun-loving Latin restaurant," and the vibe is spot on--bright, laid-back, and stylish without being stuffy. The black and white tiled floors and all the lanterns and plants hanging from the ceiling give it a really cool, relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to settle in and stay a while. The bar program is solid. They have a full selection, but the margaritas and sangria seemed to be the move for most tables. As for the food, it was incredible. Here's the breakdown: * Arroz con Pollo: This is the absolute "must-have" dish. Just a heads up: it takes about 30 minutes to cook, so give yourself at least an hour for the full experience. It is well worth the wait. * Sizzling Shrimp with Garlic: Exactly what you want it to be--fragrant, buttery, and delicious. * Organic Chipotle Chicken Tacos: Super fresh and had that signature Jean-Georges "pop" of flavor. * Crispy Calamari: Perfectly fried and a great way to kick off the meal. You can really feel the JG influence here--everything feels lighter and more vibrant than your typical heavy Latin fare. It's great to finally have this level of cooking right here in Greenwich. Whether you're a longtime fan of his NYC spots or just looking for a great new dinner hang, this place is a win.

    The mixed reviews here are a little confusing, if I'm being honest. It's a Jean Georges restaurant…read morethrough and through, and I'm not sure I'm aligned with where some of the disappointment lies. I suppose it's a pro that it's never been hard to get into, but maybe this spot hasn't quite found its groove yet. As a frequenter of Matador Room in Miami, I see a lot of similarities on the menu (and some of the same dishes, and the overall vibe) which make it that much easier to get food that brings me to Miami without actually having to go there. Namely -- the hot sauce on every table (not a "food" but integral to the JG experience), the ginger margarita (liquids are food), the maitake mushroom, the sweet pea guac, and the always amazing Arroz con Pollo. I'm sure there is more, but this is what stands out to me. So for starters, any of those are fantastic choices. We recently went for brunch and added the tuna tartare, a few salads, a burger, and the baked eggs to the list. My only caution, and I say this with deep regret, is that the baked eggs are VERY baked. I was imaging something more like a loose bake, shakshouka style, but I clearly did not read the menu very hard. We capped it all off with the tres leches (YES) and the Mexican chocolate pudding. Drink the drinks, eat the rice, and put the bright orange hot sauce on everything. Yes, it's not cheap, but what else did you expect in Greenwich?

    Dined here recently for dinner. I had booked an outdoor table, but it ended up being too chilly to…read moresit outside--thankfully the staff was accommodating. It had been years since my last visit, so it felt like a brand-new experience. I made a reservation online, though it wasn't really necessary that evening. Still, it's a plus that you can easily choose between indoor and outdoor seating when booking. Parking in their onsite lot is another convenience. The restaurant has a cozy, intimate feel, and there's a small bar that offers a happy hour Tuesday through Friday from 4-7 PM. We started with cocktails: a refreshing white sangria with mango and a mojito. Both were well-made and reasonably priced--$7 and $8. For appetizers, we had the coconut shrimp served over sliced plantains with a lemongrass sauce. The flavors were good, but the shrimp were noticeably over-fried (see my video), which took away from what could have been a standout dish. Sonora's menu offers a diverse Latin-inspired selection with dishes from South America, Cuba, Mexico, Portugal, and Puerto Rico. I was intrigued by the variety. I chose a Cuban-inspired dish: Angus skirt steak served with lobster and plantain fried rice and topped with a quail egg saffron lime garlic mojito sauce. The steak was tender and cooked to order, but the fried rice was underwhelming--just a hint of lobster flavor with only a few tiny pieces of lobster. The quail egg was nicely done. My friend ordered a Colombian dish: chicken stuffed with sweet plantain, goat cheese, peppers, and chorizo, served with saffron mashed potatoes and a sweet sherry sauce. She loved it and said the portion size was generous--I passed on a taste but took her word for it! They also offer brunch, jazz nights, and a paella night, which I'd love to check out in the future. I'll definitely return when the weather is warmer to enjoy their outdoor seating.
