                  Food and service were exceptional. We ate lunch there and the pea soup was perfect. The salad was great and dessert beyond delish. Expensive but worth every dollar for a relaxing unique special meal and service!

                  Beautiful day for a leisurely lunch on the patio. The ambience was fantastic and our lunch was lovely. In truth, the only ding was the hostess with a bad attitude and the staff’s over-the top fawning over one particular table while completely ignoring the other tables. Greenwich caste system in full effect.

                  We had a magnificent late lunch at L'Escale after the car show. Our service was top notch, Ritz Carlton style. The tartare, nicoise salad, and chicken paillard were all amazing. I have never eaten dinner there because the daytime views are too good to miss. I highly recommend it for lunch!

                  Pathetic experience. Mix up of cocktails and dinner. Service not coordinated. Clearly absentee chef with hand-down kitchen instructions. Manager was there but not earnest. So sorry how a favorite restaurant has declined.
