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!

I love this place. Great service, very good atmosphere and great food. The menu is limited however all *dishes are worthy of trying. Presentation of the food is spot on. One of my favorite places to go to in CT. In weekend there is live music. Tip: try the cocktails.

*Prices are on the higher end.

Food: Not my favorite, not my type of food but I did enjoy my fries!

Atmosphere: beautiful, spacious, lux, and beautiful views! Definitely will come back!

Avocado toast and a coffee was like 40 bucks… a little excessive. But the food tasted great.. eggs cooked to near perfection with fresh and tasty salad to round out the dish. Service was very cordial and on point. Atmosphere was classy/elegant.

L’Escale in Greenwich is such a lovely spot — cozy, elegant, and right on the water. The food was delicious from start to finish. We loved the fresh tuna tartare, perfectly cooked octopus, spicy lobster pasta, and tender steak. And don’t skip dessert — the pistachio profiteroles with warm chocolate sauce were incredible. The vibe is relaxed but refined, and the service made us feel truly taken care of. Can’t wait to come back!

L’Escale is a true gem in the area. It’s my favorite restaurant and I’m picky. The food is great, and even more importantly the people who work there are very personable and super nice to my son when we dine there. The atmosphere is fine dining without being stuffy. They tend to have nice decorations for the holidays which adds to the ambiance. Highly recommend both for a special occasion and every day dining.

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

My wife and I eat here a few times a year, and are always just amazed by the food and, even more so, the service. Two weeks ago, we celebrated my birthday here and it was no exception as James and his team (and our waiter Lenny) just made the night so special. Greenwich is filled with expensive options, and we are often overlooked (even as we spend $300-500 on dinner for two), but this is never the case here. Every meal here from brunch to lunch to dinner is better than the last.
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).

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.
