Best Mediterranean Restaurants in New Canaan

Great lunch out today. Four of us had calamari, octopus, shrimp and saganaki to start, all really good.. Split a snapper for 2 and the lobster pasta both excellent and enough for us all. Service great as well. Top tier restaurant.

Always excellent. Food is outstanding and service, ambiance, and menu are superlative. What a great, festive place. Plenty of choice for my vegetarian daughter. My only complaint: not enough for my gluten-free son to choose from given this is such a progressive place. Why all the wheat? There are so many gluten-free options to make more dishes gluten-free.

We felt that for Christmas Eve the food was slow coming out

Has the lunch menu which is great value: mushroom veloute and branzino a la plancha. The dining room was full at lunchtime on a weekday which was surprising. Service was nevethless efficient and dishes were served promptly and cooked to perfection. Never a surprise at L"Escale.

Good food, good ambience, good service … and interesting as we aren’t all familiar with Albanian food. A real surprise and a real gem.
