    Great service from the team, the chicken paillard was not that great. The omelet was good. the ambience very nice. We would go back. Maybe a bit more creative for the brunch menu.

    The restaurant was not crowded, very disappointed with the service and quality of food. They did not approach of us for at least 25 min, then waited another 15-20 minutes for a coffee. Also waited excessively long time for oatmeal and yogurt dish. They never came back to refill beverages. After an hour and 20 minutes we asked for check and left. Will not be returning.

    Great waterside fine dining experience. Portions are more aligned with a tasting menu experience but appreciate the attention to detail and high quality of the food. 10 out of 10!

    I typically love this restaurant but did not have a great experience for lunch. The host at the front desk was very unprofessional the minute we walked in the door and argued about my reservation. He should not be at the front of the house. Our food was good, although I did not get what I had ordered. Hopefully my next visit will be better!

    We were there at night on a hot June day. We had a late reservation so we could sit outside on the porch after things cooled down. The porch was great. The food and service were also great.

    What a lovely place to spend a special evening! We were given, at our request, a corner banquette. The food was splendid, notably the chicken paillard. The entire staff was so charming and accommodating. L' Escape remains my favorite Greenwich restaurant.
