                  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.

                  Always enjoy dining here. Beautiful dining room. Attentive and professional service. Good quality generally very good. Disappointed with my Plats Du Jour appetizer. I ordered the white asparagus with hollandaise sauce. I was disappointed with the hollandaise sauce.
