   Cocktails were good, theme of locally sourced and farm to table fare well displayed. A few mis-steps in execution. Meat in tartare was tender, needed salt, the 'hash-brown' situation underneath slightly over cooked & bitter. Pickled carrots were delicious, needed some Malden or other salt to dip / sprinkle . Gem lettuce salad was the highlight - bright and tangy very refreshing. Shrimp was OK, slightly muddy but rich flavors. Sourdough bread excellent. The strip steak had a very tasty rub, sauce, and fermented creamy greens side. Unfortunately it seemed like they had some issues butchering the strip (maybe it still had the cap on?). We notified the server that it was very tough/ chewy / very hard to eat. She apologized; it stayed on the bill. Service was good; not great, general attitude seemed 'unaffected' by our presence. Would return but it wouldn't be me top choice.

   This was my second time to Taproot. The food was unbelievable. Creative, flavorful, and delicious! The waitstaff is professional and attentive. We had a great time trying their cocktails! Love Taproot and can’t wait to try Bar Bushido next!

   Fabulous dining experience. We were fans of this restaurant when it was located in Bethel. Glad to have found them in their new location. Still delicious food and wonderful service.

   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!

    We will definitely be dining there again. Delicious food: we had the mushroom toast, scallops, mussels, goat ragu and a burger. Everyone loved what they were eating and the burger (my main course) was GREAT. Service was warm, friendly, attentive and informative. Background music was ....background! We could hear each other talk, a real plus, and the mix was eclectic and enjoyable. We were there early on a Tuesday so no idea what it might be like on a busy evening. Only complaint is that some of the small plates were challenging to share without getting the table messy. It was worth it but if you go, make sure they give you extra napkins.
