7 Main Café & Bar located at Four Points by Sheraton on Main Avenue
Norwalk, CT – The owners of the Four Points by Sheraton in Norwalk have introduced a new restaurant to the region, namely 7 Main Café & Bar. The restaurant is located at 426 Main Avenue, with easy access from the hotel’s lobby.
“Taverns, restaurants and cafes, to name a few, are social retreats where people meet, eat, drink and converse, perhaps just like home! 7 Main is that type of café,” said Terry Bickhardt, President and COO, Operations and Marketing for Waterford Hotel Group. “From every vantage point, there’s a sense of home with wood floors, wainscoted walls, natural sunlight, stone fireplace and the glow of the hearth.”

7 Main Café & Bar is a comfortable, casual, relaxed and informal environment serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food although casual is current, market driven and simple, with fresh, chef crafted selections that are well-balanced. Deli-style sandwiches, soups and panini’s, over-sized specialty salads such as the ‘7 Main’ Chopped Cobb and Crisp Warm Spinach to name a few. Dinner offers many options from homemade Spaghetti & Meat Balls, Herb Encrusted Salmon, to Shrimp Scampi Provencal, plus steaks and chicken specialties. Beverages are fun and contemporary, featuring 20 beers and 12 wines by the glass from around the globe. Bar Bites offers a variety of small plate tasting options paired with your favorite beers and wines to get you started. “7 Main Café and Bar is your local casual café offering good food and beverages with style. It is sure to please both the local community and our guests alike,” added Bickhardt.

426 Main Ave. Associates, an affiliate of Nutmeg Holdings, owns both the hotel and restaurant. Nutmeg Holdings, with corporate offices located in Darien, Connecticut, is an experienced investor in hotel and resort developments. 7 Main Café & Bar is professionally operated by Waterford Hotel Group, Inc., which also manages the Norwalk Four Points.
