They had exposed brick and pipes but green velvety looking couches with modern gold structured lights... With a blue lit bar! Once seated, we received a roll of hot bread and delectable olive oil. The food was a bit on the salty side, it was phenomenal. The escargot was buttery and chewy and they didn't skimp on the number of snails. The mussels were so savory we asked for more bread to dip the sauce in. As my entree, I got the scallops which was accompanied a crispy side of asparagus and fluffy mashed potatoes. The meals were on the salty side but it wasn't overbearing, but the scallops were cooked to perfection which made up for it. The outside was super crispy but the inside was cooked perfectly which i feel like is an art for scallops. I loved this restaurant and would definitely come here again! It may be my favorite since I moved to CT. But... i couldn't give it 5 stars :( I would give this restaurant a 4.5 star if I could, but there were a few things that I felt like needed room for improvement: 1) the dessert, a strawberry and Nutella crepe (which was considered the most popular and favorite of the waiter) was below mediocre. It tasted like a cold rough wrap rather than a crepe. The top chocolate syrup was too artificial and sweet. It masked the Nutella taste. I also expected it to be warm, but the largely sliced strawberry made everything cold. I also felt like the vanilla ice cream doesn't mean pair well with the already cold strawberry wrap like crepe. 2) water wasn't filled until asked for. 3) no one took away my side bread plate in an already tight table which was annoying. How do you not seek that when coming up to our table so much?

Everyone needs to scallop on over to Appetit Bistro in Norwalk, CT for some incredibly delicious…read moremodern French cuisine! The moment I walked into this gorgeous restaurant, I felt like I was being transported to the heart of Paris! The inside of this cozy restaurant is so beautiful, and the food is incredibly dreamy! My mouth is still watering thinking back to the food we tried! First of all, they have octopus on the menu which is automatically a winner in my book! I was also very excited to see the Escargot en Croute on the menu! My boyfriend and I ordered them and I was so tempted to devour each of the heavenly buttery bites myself (but I was nice and split them evenly with him). For entrees, I highly recommend the Poulet "Scarpariello" which is a beautiful vibrant chicken dish served with roasted potatoes, cherry peppers, butter, and garlic. Not only is the presentation impressive but the flavors are out of this world! Some of my other favorites included the scallops, the salmon, and of course, the steak frites! If you love French cuisine and you live in Norwalk, I highly recommend you make your reservations today!
