The iconic, l’escale restaurant bar, or “port of call” for seasonal Mediterranean cuisine is designed to transport the ambiance of Provence to the Gold Coast of Connecticut. Two-hundred-year-old stone terra cotta tiles from Provence adorn the floors with a wood burning fireplace lending an unmistakable charm and beauty.

Located at Delamar Greenwich Harbor Hotel, the restaurant’s intimate decor, along with its wrought iron tonelle covered waterfront terrace and exquisitely designed menu by award winning Executive Chef Frederic Kieffer will deliver the Côte d’Azur right to your table.

We love going to L'Escale for special occasions, particularly birthdays and our anniversary. We haven't had a disappointment there until yesterday, Thanksgiving. As always, the service was attentive, and the room was beautiful. The food, however, was disappointing. Perhaps because our 6 pm was one the latest reservations, the turkey was dry and overcooked. More troubling was the Angus Strip steak, which arrived a much lower quality sirloin cut. Did they run out of strips? But I'll give credit where it's due. The veloute was the star of the evening and the ginger ice cream that accompanied the bready apple rose was a treat. We'll go back for another special occasion, but probably not for a high-volume holiday meal.

They should let people know when booking that there is a pre fixed menu and charges for a show. They book a reservation for 6pm with a menu and costs that apply to a show that doesn’t start until 9pm. We paid for something we couldn’t even be there for. Service is terrible and very pretentious. Will not be back.

Typically our go to for a nice dinner , best chicken paillard around. Tonite , It was inedible . Not even sure it was all chicken To their credit, comped the desserts and took the main off the bill, didn’t get sick, so that’s a plus . Ambience and Service always top notch, maybe just an off nite . Lot of other places to go. Won’t be back for a while

We had a bouquet of flowers and the staff kindly offered to place them in water during our dinner. The staff at L’Escale is always full service and the cuisine is superb!
