I will vouch for Trish's friend - the crab cakes ARE amazing! I always intend to try something different, but end up getting the crab cakes every time, and just tasting whatever my husband orders.
Favorite app is the spicy tuna tartar

i love this place, their crawfish beignets are absoluely delicious for an appetizer.
Their menu changes- last time i had a boneless pork roast with apples and a side of burbon mac n cheese- it was to die for! the steak with chimi churri is excellent, too, as the PP mentioned.
Enjoy and don't forget your bottle(s) of wine! -

Nicholas Roberts is my favorite restaurant in Norwalk - first rate food, unpretentious decor, friendly service.
Some of my personal favorites are: Mixed salad greens with pear. This is not overly special, just a refreshing salad that I personally like. Keep in mind I rarely eat appetizers and keep it light. There are many interesting appetizer choices though, and usually some good specials.
I love short ribs, and their version, braised in chianti, is excellent. Steak served with chimichurri sauce is delicious. Organic chicken is good too, but I prefer their beef offerings. A friend once had the lump crab cakes and said they were amazing. Chocolate souffle is a rich ending.
A few things to keep in mind:
Cash only, no credit cards accepted.
It's BYOB and with only a $5 corkage fee, so it's a great value for diners. Bring what you like and save some $$$.
Don't expect fancy decor. It's a quirky place because it has a casual urban schoolhouse vibe, but the food is akin to 4* dining.
If Exec Chef Rob Troilo is in the house say hi to him. He's nice, funny, and appreciates interaction with guests.
