It's a beautiful venue. There were several special events being celebrated today. For a Friday at lunchtime, it was crowded. No one was rushed and the service was attentive. We shared oysters which were delicious and the hanger steak frites was perfect. We will return for sure.

Have been coming here for years. This is an expensive restaurant and they have declined in service and food. Serving a cold cobbler and not attending to the table (clearing plates etc) is unacceptable for $350 for 4 people.

L'Escale NEVER disappoints. Their prix fixe menu had holiday favorites, updated to chic standards. We love that you can choose turkey or a different option- but whatever you choose, it will be amazing. Our server was top notch- she knew how to ensure a lovely holiday at the right pace. We chose to sit in the bar/lounge- a quieter setting at times, but we enjoyed seeing other families sharing their joy as well.

We happened to be seated next to a table with 2 children under 3. It was noisy, distracting. I was on a business lunch and it was not great. Fortunately we both love children but it really was not the best atmosphere.

Beautiful location, great energy and menu updated with fresh new choices . That being said, the portions are small and not for the hungry. The prices are high for what you get and the service was fair. We waited al long time to get drinks and the check, although staff were welcoming and friendly.

L’escale has a beautiful atmosphere in the Delmar hotel. As we entered there was a roaring fire in the fireplace, tables were tastefully set and a waiter immediately came to take our drink orders. The food was especially delicious! We had crab cakes, an omelette and crepe in addition to our appetizer of clams, oysters, shrimp and lobster. For dessert we shared the crème brûlée and apple tart. What a wonderful birthday celebration for our grandson!

It was my wife’s birthday and we wanted a special meal. The food is great, the terrace is great and overlooks the harbor, the drinks were strong and well made, the service was fantastic … what else can you ask for from a restaurant?! The prices are high but i think they are fair for a great dinner.
