    Food was pretty good. Fresh. Meatballs and calamari were excellent. Only thing is the crust didn’t hold up and was floppy and soggy unfortunately.

    Taproot is a cute Resturant in the SoNo area of Norwalk CT. Its decor reminds you of eating in someone’s home. The specialty cocktails were delicious and the food choices were fantastic. Service was top notch, even on a busy Saturday night. We will definitely be coming back!

    Terrific Experience. 5-6 years ago I went to Washington Prime. I had ordered a steak “Black and Blue” and it wasn’t cooked to my liking. It left me questioning its rating as “Best Steakhouse”. This time was entirely different. My wife and I went for Valentines’s Day. It was amazing. Steak Tartare, Duck Breast, NY Strip, Salmon toast. Amazing. The cocktails, amazing. 10/10. Would go again!
