    Wonderful Christmas fixed price menu. The service was excellent despite the fact that the restaurant was packed for Christmas. We had scallops, filet, halibut and gnocchi. All of which was prepared perfectly. The deserts were outstanding too.

    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.

    I love this restaurant but this last visit was disappointing. It was much too loud, and the food was not up to their normal standards. Duck was much too salty, mussels weren’t great. That said, the service was impeccable. We will be back, maybe at a quieter time of year.

    The prime rib was of good quality but it had little au jus and that was disappointing. The N.E. clam chowder was far from ideal, especially as Greenwich is the gateway to N.E. The wait staff was exemplary. The restaurant was packed and yet I got plenty of personal attention .

    Had Sunday brunch - service excellent. So was the virgin Bloody Mary; tho the Prosecco better for those who likes their bubbly on the sweet side. Noise level high. Table close to the entryway and cold wind arrived along with each new set of guests. Decided on the classic English breakfast -- hard to mess up. But odd that sausages were as poor as they were -- even slightly off. Maybe they do better at dinner, with more challenging dishes.
