Talk about a disaster - who cancels a catering event for 90 people the day before the event????…read more Well, the answer is....A Dash of Salt. We planned, prepped and placed our very detailed order two weeks in advance of our planned event. Apparently, they only have one chef and NO BACK UP PLAN. Chef was "sick" and they canceled on is with only 24 hours notice. Totally unprofessional! If you plan on booking with Dash of Salt, make sure you have a Plan B. You never know when they may cancel on you.

I was worried about our temple being too small to hold the number of people we had invited for our "celebration luncheon".

Everything was perfect!!! We will definitely be using them again!!!

It took nearly 20 minutes for the kid to put together a very sad (see picture) Ruben-like sandwich (which cost me $8.50 for about $1 worth of ingredients) and was supposed to be on a knish, which they didn't have. My wife's (Italian combo) came out on stale Focaccia and had to be re-made.

She and her helper arrived 2 hours before our event and set up the most beautiful tables. More importantly, her food was delicious. There was an assortment of tea sandwiches, delicious salads and a beautiful charcuterie board. Honestly, people raved about how good everything was! And there was plenty of it. People piled their plates and we still had leftovers to enjoy the next day. Katie is a true professional and we will certainly use her again for our next event.

Ambiance better at the other A&S in Norwalk but what can ya do...

This review is an emotional outpouring…read more Stew Leonard's (SL) has been a part of my life for 55 years. I first came to this store soon after it opened, when it was much smaller and the only SL store. I now live a few hours away from any of the stores, but 2 SL shopping bags are among those my family uses regularly. I still go here and to other SLs when it's opportune, and the close relationship between SL and my family culminated when, upon his passing, SL SR. was placed a few strides away from my parents at Willowbrook Cemetery (rated 5). Over the years our family developed a close personal connection with the store. My mother became good friends with the head chef there (the prepared foods are excellent--I still always get the ambrosia salad when I'm there!). Sorry I don't recall his name. He was there from at least the mid 90s to the early 2000s. As my mother grew older we started having increasing numbers of SL items as side dishes at our holiday meals. In 2001 when she died we had SL provide the whole Thanksgiving dinner. I recall going in and speaking to the head chef, informing him of my mother's passing. He said he had wondered what had happened to her and missed her. The connection between our family and the store grew with my wife and kids. When we got engaged I got my wife's parents a SL gift basket, complete with Elsa the cheese cow. We would all visit this store and some of the others while traveling, enjoying the ice cream on site and bringing non-perishables back home, as well as apple cider in season--we'd bring the coolers for that. I don't know if my mother ever met either the Senior or Junior proprietor. I won't say I 'met' either of them, but I did encounter them both together once. There were no intros, and it was brief and terse. It was early summer 1979 or '80; like many college students, I thought SL would be a good summer 'gig'. I went to apply and found no parking spaces, but saw another parking lot across the street. I parked there and two men, one old one young, both dressed business formal, went walking past. The older one asked why I was parking there. I noticed the SL employee-only sign only then; I said I was going to apply for a job. He insisted there were none available. I started to say I would like to just leave an application, but he cut me off, saying again "there are no jobs!" [Please continue reading in the review space for the Stew Leonard's store in Danbury. There wasn't enough space here to complete my review. Thank you.]

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!
