Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"We tried the Flamingo Lounge in Norwalk for the first time tonight. It was excellent! The cocktail list is innovative. The food is excellent! Our wait staff was top notch. 10/10 definitely recommend!"
"I didn't have a cocktail, but almost everyone else did. Service was fast and food delicious with the only exception of the pasta salad. The pasta was firm, and could have used more dressing. We will be back."
"Love this place!! The decor gives off a boho vibe with a funky '70's feel. I had the French Onion Soup burger and it was AHHHmazing!!! Their menu has a twist on traditional dishes, can't wait to go back and try something new!! I highly recommend their Red Velvet Brownie, but brings friends!! It's big enough for 2 or 3 people, very decadent and rich!! The staff is SO friendly and awesome!!!!"
"Flamingo Lounge was perfect for a girls night! Cocktails were delicious, great selection of tasty mocktails too, and the food didn’t disappoint! Prices were reasonable, great service and atmosphere, love that we have this spot: an elevated restaurant feel without having to go downtown or into the city. Highly recommend checking this place out!! We were so impressed with everything!"
"This place is SO GOOD! The menu is limited, but I was told it's because they're slowly rolling out other items in the coming weeks. I get overwhelemed eith too many choices on a menu anyway. I had the Italian panini and it was surprisingly DELICIOUS. Usually sandwiches with those types of Italian meats can be on the salty side, but it was SO good. The portions are generous (I have a WHOLE other meal left over!). I recommend you buy the two desserts on the menu—they're made from scratch, and heavenly. The drinks are so cute and and the decor is even cuter!! Highly recommend. I look forward to coming here for brunch sometime!"
"Fun decor, great service, tasty food. The shrimp and grits were delicious. Two people in our party ordered margaritas and, unfortunately, they weren't good. After telling our server, we received new drinks. Our friends ordered Boston Cream Pie. It wasn't on the menu but our server indicated it was an option. The dessert they received was more like a frozen chocolate pie. Our server didn't have an answer when questioned about the dessert. All in all, we had a great time and will be back."
"Wow! I can’t wait to go back and get the same thing! The French onion soup burger is definitely something to rave about! Same with the whipped feta and beet chips (which I was skeptical about) but everything was soo good! Friendly staff, excellent food and martinis, and great atmosphere! We will definitely be revisiting!!!"
"My wife and I went to try this place and we were not disappointed! The atmosphere and vibes are very cool and relaxing. The service was attentive and friendly. We tried the Italian Panini and the French Onion Burger and both were tasty. The Au Jus had great flavor. I don’t normally like crinkle fries but they were nice and crispy. Most importantly, their ranch dressing is good."
