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.

My wife and I had a fabulous Valentine’s Day dinner at L’Escale. The staff was warm and friendly, attentive and engaging, the food was superb, and we had a lovely evening. I cannot say enough nice things about our experience that evening. Highly recommend for a romantic dinner or a special night together.

We love L’Escale but I felt misled by our server on Valentine’s Day on my main course. I was told that I was getting a whole lobster out if its shell on pasta so I switched to this instead of steak. There was only pieces in the pasta not close to even a half a lobster. I usually don’t comment but for the Valentine’s Day price very disappointing (even though I was not paying). Hoping it was an off day.
