Brendan's 101 — Restaurant in Norwalk

Went here with some friends for a quick snack on a hot summers day. Right in the beautiful town of rowayton with a plethora of comfort foods, 101 is a staple for us.

Lovely cafe with delicious food in a cute town, and easily accessible to I-95. This is a great place to stop during a trip.

Both were very tasty, perfectly cooked, served with lovely sauted fresh spinach and broccoli. We also tried the very cute cupcakes which were very tasty. Our compliments to the chef!
