It was my first time having a dining experience in Norwalk. It was such a lovely night and being there made me feel relaxed, especially after working a long shift at the hospital. I was greeted by the host Noah, who is a co-owner alongside with chef Brian. They were such lovely people who gave a warm and welcoming experience. Our waiter was Todd, he was amazing with recommendations and making us feel special towards our accommodations. Our bartender for the night was Ken and Ken’s drinks were very good. I had the White Cosmo, such an amazing drink. The food was also amazing. The home made hummus tasted so fresh with a nice chili sauce topping with the pita bread it was really delicious. The seafood risotto didn’t disappoint. There was an abundance amount of seafood, very flavorful and it was for such a great price! Downstairs there was a piano lounge and I don’t know about you, but I’ve only seen piano lounges in movies. So having that experience was very exciting. I will be definitely be coming again, they made me feel very welcome just like family.

Lava SoNo — A New Vibe on Washington Street ✨
Tucked at 112 Washington St., Lava brings something truly refreshing to SoNo. Instead of adding to the usual club scene, owner Noah Katz created a sanctuary with a speakeasy-style piano lounge, live music, and an ambiance that feels warm, elevated, and intentionally curated for a more mature crowd. Think dim lights, soft melodies, and that intimate, grown-and-glowy energy we don’t get nearly enough of in the neighborhood.
The menu leans Mediterranean with a vibrant Hispanic flair, and you can taste the creativity in every bite!
My absolute favorite? The Lava Stone Grilled Shrimp — smoky, tender, beautifully seasoned, and served with that perfect char you only get from real flame. It’s one of those dishes that makes you pause mid-conversation because the flavor deserves a full moment of appreciation.
Lava officially opened its doors on November 5, and honestly, it’s already bringing a whole new rhythm to Washington Street. Great food, live piano, a chic crowd, and a space that feels like a little escape right here in SoNo.
Seafood Martini — fresh, and absolutely delicious.
Welcome to the neighborhood, Lava — you’re exactly what we needed.

Lava sono lounge. Finally a chill spot with the most amazing Mediterranean food with a spanish flare cooked on lava rocks!!!. Insane. Very upscale and cozy Atmosphere. Superb drinks, Lava juice most try!!. If you dont drink they got you too. to top it all, go downstairs to the piano lounge for a nice glass of wine and great conversation.

Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. This place is a total gem. The moment you walk in, the atmosphere wraps around you warm, inviting, stylish, and full of personality. You can tell every detail was chosen with intention. It feels elevated but still comfortable, like you’re somewhere special without any stiffness.
The food was beyond amazing beautifully presented, perfectly balanced, and packed with flavor. Every dish tasted like it came out of a chef’s passion project, not just a kitchen. You can genuinely taste the quality and creativity. It’s the kind of menu where you already know you’re coming back before you even finish your plate.
And the downstairs piano bar WOW. That space is pure magic. The vibe is unique, intimate, and unforgettable. Live piano, great energy, and the kind of ambiance that turns a normal night out into a memorable experience. It feels like discovering a hidden lounge that you almost want to keep secret but it’s too good not to share.
Service, atmosphere, food, and vibe all top tier. This is not just a restaurant night — it’s an experience. Highly recommend and already looking forward to my next visit.✨

Food was very good, but the portions are way too small for a 30 dollar item.
Barely just above a cup of quinoa lol.
There isn’t much of a reason to come back here since there’s plenty of options next-door that give larger portions for less money

Very friendly service when I stopped by to pickup my order

The food was really good! We loved the service. Todd was our server and was a ton of fun. After dinner we went downstairs and enjoyed the speakeasy like atmosphere. The owners were very sweet and welcoming!

Brand new restaurant on the drag in Sono. Terrific, super fresh food! And it’s a piano bar downstairs. The pianist/singer, Jon, was INSANE! He crushed everything from Creep to Italian Restaurant to Hit The Road, Jack. I could’ve stayed all night! This is my new go-to spot!!!

Todd was a GREAT server and took great care of us. We are here on a Thursday night before Valentine’s Day. Not too busy but had a special delicious meal on the lava rocks. I enjoyed the lamb lollipops and Jack enjoyed the prawns main course on lava rocks! So good! We share everything!
Okay so the highlight of our dinner (which was my birthday dinner) was the AMAZING pianist and bassist. I felt like I was in NYC at a Greenwich Village concert .
I would encourage everyone to go to this very special venue. They made my birthday a magical experience.

There were four of us with resos on a Saturday night. The place is very nice inside and not very crowded. Upstairs is the restaurant and bar and downstairs is the lounge also with a bar. The food was very good. We all had different things and everything was fresh and tasty and nicely presented. While our server was nice, he did seem a bit haried. Others here speak about the wonderful host but while we did see him around, he did not welcome us or even give us menus when he brought us to the table. We all walked downstairs to have a look – it seemed very warm and inviting. There were two musicians playing and a bar down there where you can get tapas. The band was a little too low-key for us but very nice otherwise.

Ok. Honest review. We intended on having dinner and then wanted to go downstairs to the piano bar.
Our experience was immediately soured when we walked in. We were “greeted” by a very curt waitress. No “Hello, welcome…”. She basically barked at us that if we wanted dinner we had to sit upstairs. Ok fine. We sat at the bar, which had 7 open seats, but the chairs were all abutted up against each other. We are tall, and my partner has big shoulders, so we asked her if we could just remove one chair to provide a bit more room. She said no and blew us off. We literally squeezed into the chairs, and within 30 seconds we decided to leave. She completely killed the vibe for us. We ate elsewhere.
BUT…we did return later on and went downstairs to the piano bar which was awesome! Amazing vibe, great music, awesome bartender, and very much fun! We would absolutely return to hang out downstairs. Very cool addition to Sono.
