    Fun, lively scene, busiest place in Norwalk. Food was fantastic. Street noise very loud as apparently it’s the main drag street for hot rods and loud rap music. Service was very distracted and slow. Had to work hard to get attention of server to take order, get check etc. food was excellent though.

    We had a very enjoyable early Mother's Day dinner at Match. The drinks, appetizers, salad, entrees and dessert were all amazing. Even my 93 year old mother, who is very picky eater, asked when we could come back again! And, we will be coming back soon!

    We had a fantastic meal at match! Although, we were asked by our server to order our entire meal, all at once, right when we sat down, which has never happened to me at any dining establishment ever. You shouldn’t be asked what you want for dessert before the appetizer hits the table. The meal was great and we will definitely be back.

    It’s just too bad that the restaurant did not honor the reservation that I made, despite their clear confirming message. Instead of outdoor seating, we were seated at the back of the restaurant, and told that the other tables were reserved.

    Superb! We often say we have to try a new place, but wind up at Match every time for consistently delicious food. We had wood-roasted chicken, steak frites, scallops and short rib ragu - all four dishes were outstanding and licked off the plates. I can eat their carpetbaggers appetizer as an entree and ask for more of it! We’ll be back again and again.

    The food at Match has and continues to be excellent. My only complaint is the waiter stated the full order (apps to Desert) would need to be placed up front and the rational for that was some dishes take longer than others, which we understood and complied. However, as soon as we were done with our small plates, the main dishes came right out. Long story short,we felt rushed and would have stayed and ordered more food had we not been told to order all at once.
