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!
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

The drinks were creative, tasty, and not lacking in alcohol. The oysters were beyond fresh, the U-10 shrimp was gigantic with a flavorful cocktail sauce. Bread was fresh and warm with their sea-salted butter. The lamb was wildly flavorful and tender. The pommes frites were salty, warm, and if they weren’t cut that day, they tasted it. My wife’s NZL Bluenose (don’t quote me on that) was fresh, cooked perfectly, and just excellent. The Chocolate Hazelnut tart was the icing on the cake (pun intended).
From the amuse bouche to the treats with dessert to a champagne toast at entry, just magical. Cheers to one of the best food experiences in southern Fairfield County and maybe the best service outside of a country club. Thank you to James, Lenny, and the entire team (we were helped by many).
