    White sangria
    Jazz A.

    Located in the gallery along the Norwalk cove marina copps island oysters is a true hidden gem ! With the gorgeous view of the harbour , absolutely peaceful ! The drinks strong ! I got the white sangria which was delicious. The espresso martini was strong and flavourful as well ! Perfect spot to sit by the water and enjoy a peaceful drink with the hubby on a Saturday afternoon ! Please not service is done via QR code ( no service at the tables ) - we went during the Norwalk boat show so there was a lot of people at this time ( but somehow still so peaceful ! Plenty of outdoor seating ( benches and tables with umbrellas ) Highly recommend!

    I absolutely love everything about this place!! My boyfriend booked a tour for my birthday (best surprise ever!). Jimmy took us out on the boat, explained everything in so much detail, and just enlightened every square millimeter of my brain. We learned everything from how they grow oysters to how they harvest, clean, and prepare them! When we returned to the storefront we were greeted by Norm, who took us to their neat little museum containing all things oysters! We learned so much about the history of eating, shucking, and farming oysters. The shop in the front has so many cute things I had to contain myself! We left with lots of merch, fresh lobsters, clams, and oysters, and seriously had the best day ever. Thank you, Bloom family! You are all phenomenal and made this birthday the best yet!

    If a more delicious oyster exists in our parts, I'm not sure I've found it. Copps Island Oysters, harvested from beds in the Norwalk/Westport Island Chain, are plump, but not overly large, and perfectly balanced: equal parts sweet and briny, not nearly as hard hitting on the saline as many East Coast oysters. Given the excellent flavor and the texture (ranging in my batch from silky to medium chewy), these are oysters that I want to chew and savor rather than slurp down whole. And although I generally love my oysters with a little squirt of lemon, these are good enough to eat without accoutrements. Copps Island Oysters are bottom "planted" (seeded?), rather than grown in cages or floating trays. That rough-and-tumble upbringing makes for a much bumpier shell than their gently floated counterparts, which can make shucking a little bit more a challenge. The medium-deep to deep cups do hold in a lot of that wonderful liquor, but the irregular shells can make it hard to work an oyster knife into the hinge at just the right angle. These weren't as hard to shuck as Mystics and Wellfleets in my experience, but weren't as easy as those nice, smooth Fishers Island Oysters, either. Fifty oysters were a jaw-droppingly well priced $40. Shipping to me (within CT) was a touch north of $23. Sixty-three dollars and change for 50 delicious oysters is a good deal, folks! My one and only negative comment: There were more dry oysters in this batch than in my last shipment of oysters from Fishers Island Oyster Farm. Not sure if that was particular to my batch, attributable to the fact that they were not shipped flat. The dry ones were still ok to eat -- just not as good as their liquor-filled counterparts of course. Overall, though, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again. Copps Island oysters are absolutely luscious!

    Valentina the server was beyond phenomenal. The best part of the experience here…read more I ordered the fisherman's platter. The clams were strips and the scallops were bay. I thought they would be some bellies and sea scallops instead. It was all fresh and cooked well but I was a bit underwhelmed at the type of meat I received. The fries were unsalted but at every table, is a salt shaker and ketchup. The children had a hot lobster roll. Even for 11 year old tummies they thought the roll was small, but delicious. The cold lobster salad roll was excellent also. A very welcoming and friendly place with I would say average food but mega star quality service. There is a pub area, indoor and outdoor dining. Come by for lunch on a nice day!

    Horrible. One of the best water views in Fairfield County, it's a shame…read more The place gets worse and more expensive every year. I doubt that the deck hasn't been power washed in five years and the plastic table outdoor tables are sagging. The Fried Seafood Platter wasn't worth it at $30 and now it's $42. All of the menu items are priced beyond reason. The fish and chips for $28 was your typical frozen fish with the water still in it and soggy when it's served. Not sure what their strategy is, but I'm thinking the end game may be in play maximizing prices and not delivering anything of value. Definitely not worth it. What a shame.

    Honestly, I've been coming to the Norwalk Stew Leonard's for over 20 years now, and it never gets…read moreold. Pro tip for anyone trying to avoid the absolute chaos of the main lot: pull in using the George Ave entrance and park over there. It's a total game-changer for getting in and out fast. Most people know this place because it was on Ripley's Believe it or Not! back in the day for being the world's largest dairy store, but it's honestly just an institution. Right when you walk in, you see that huge stone tablet with their customer service rules--basically saying the customer is always right, and if they're wrong, re-read rule number one. Supposedly the founder, Stew Sr., put it up after arguing with a lady over some sour eggnog decades ago until his wife checked him. It definitely stuck, because in two decades of shopping here, I have literally never had a bad customer experience. The staff is always so solid. They have everything--a great bakery (the Apple Cider Donuts are legendary), a massive seafood section with fresh lobster rolls daily, a killer meat department where I usually grab lamb steaks, and a seasonal garden center and "Little Farm" with goats and ducks that the kids love. They even have a food truck outside now. But if I'm being completely real? Half the time I roll up here, I am solely there for one thing: the hot bar. They have the absolute best wings around, specifically the Spicy Italian ones. I will literally drive over just to grab a container of those wings for lunch. A few quick heads-up things: download their app before you go because the loyalty program rewards actually add up pretty quick, and definitely remember to bring your own bags. Oh, and grab a soft serve on your way out. Essential Norwalk experience.

    Stew Leonard's in Norwalk has always been one of our first stops when I would visit my family. I…read moredon't get to Stew Leonard's any other time. I love this location and my daughter was fortunate enough to visit our family for the holidays. I'm so jealous. My cousin saw her staring at the metal mug and purchased it for. That's family for you. I really miss the unusual vibes I get from Stew Leonard's atmosphere. I remember visiting as a teenager when I came to Connecticut for the summers. I'm highly recommending!
