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". They spent every conversation with me, trying to assure me that everything would be perfect, and the space/food would all come together. I doubted them, but they were correct. Everything was perfect!!! We will definitely be using them again!!!

They might be great for catering, but keep on driving if you want to stop and get sandwiches. I…read morewent in with my wife and ordered two sandwiches. 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.

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.

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.
