    A wonderful dinner - again! We just love this restaurant - great food, knowledgeable and careful service, comfortable setting. Three of us started with the sformata and escargot. If you have not had L’Ostal’s sformata you are missing a real treat: light, flavorful and warm - perfect for a cold night. The escargot were exactly as they should be ( and my son and I fought to soak up the sauce with the bread pieces!). For entrees, we each loved our choices. My son found the paparadelli to be exactly correct - hearty, tasty. My wife had the duck and we all thought it was ideal - moist, flavorful, tender. I had the skate and it was delicious. I love properly prepared skate but find it much less often these days - and L’Ostal made it perfect, light, flavorful, tender. A glass of Pinot noir and it was a perfect dinner. We just love this place! If you haven’t been, go soon.

    L'Escale is the nicest restaurants in Greenwich, period. Ambiance, food, service, location and lower noise level than in other restaurants make it a perfect place to eat out.

    My husband and I had a lovely Sunday morning brunch. It was excellent! The quality of the eggs were so fresh, the menu was excellent and the coffee and fresh French bread to start made it extra special. Quality and double quality of great ingredients and a balanced menu. Highly recommend.

    The Best restaurant of it's type anywhere in NY or CT. A really special place and a wonderful old fashioned atmosphere. It's as good as it was many years ago. You feel like you are in Europe. Great food and beautifully prepared and served. Worth the one hour drive we made to eat there. We splurged on the Chef's tasting menu with Wine pairings and it was spectacular.
