“ Loved this restaurant! A great, dress-up waterfront restaurant with food that does not disappoint. FOOD Was spectacular. All the courses. Highlights were the beef tartare and the creme brûlée dessert. In fact, the creme brûlée may have been one of the best I've ever had. The custard had a perfect texture and the shatteringly crispy shards of caramelized sugar on top was the perfect contrast. Moreover, the accompaniments - a raspberry almond bread and fresh raspberries on top - provided the perfect bit of acidity to make this a real winner. The beef tartare was delicious with a great balance that worked well with the chips to whet the palate for the meal to come. ATMOSPHERE Perfection. The interior of the restaurant is spacious but brings you almost to the French coast, somewhere in Provence. Decorated beautifully, it is alongside the Long Island Sound which juts into Greenwich right next to the restaurant. We chose indoor dining this time around as the temperature was dropping, however there is a beautiful outdoor space overlooking the water. SERVICE Was generally great. However, I found it to be a tad bit slow - which honestly I didn't mind. It let you admire your surroundings and even step out for a bit onto the balcony and watch the sun set over the water in Greenwich harbor. Can't complain - but don't be surprised if it takes a bit for the food to come. Overall, had a beautiful dinner and experience here - will be back ”
“ I took my girlfriend to l'escale on Friday and had a wonderful experience. The service is consistently professional as the entire staff seems dedicated to ensuring their patrons are having a positive experience. The ambience is a wonderful blend of sophisticated upscale and comfy and cozy, with views of the harbor on one side, and an enormous, elegant fireplace on the other. Our food was cooked perfectly and was absolutely delicious. She had the lamb chops which were seasoned and cooked perfectly, and I had the halibut, which was also absolutely delicious. We each requested and were served wine which complemented our meals. ”
“ Food: Not my favorite, not my type of food but I did enjoy my fries! Service: Amazing, speedy, kind! My server Hilinda was amazing she offers quick service & very attentive to what I like. I also saw her interact with other customers near me and she was kind and they seem to really like her! Atmosphere: beautiful, spacious, lux, and beautiful views! Definitely will come back! ”
“ After having been in Reims and Paris for 6 days, we stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant for lunch on the way to Provence. This wonderful restaurant was on a quiet street. Seating was comfortable and the ambiance was excellent. We had the Perigourdine (foie gras), Gourmandie (shrimp and scallops), and Cote Mer (Sea Bass). Each dish was excellent, but if we had to pick our favorites we’d choose the foie gras and shrimp and scallops. We shared a lovely bottle of wine with our meal. Highly recommended! ”
“ The location is absolutely stunning, be sure to grab a seat outside if you can. Live music, great drinks, and delicious food. The staff was very friendly and attentive, they helped us make our anniversary feel special. We can’t wait to come back ”
