Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Greenwich

We arrived and the place was overrun with people waiting for a table but we got a drink and were seated in the main dining just over a half hour. Service was excellent, portions are large, and the food was delicious. Steak for 3 could serve 4 or 5 people. Flavor of each dish was very tasty. I enjoyed lobster bisque and Cesar salad, and appetizer crab cakes, which had almost no filler. Leftovers are good too. Christmas Eve success.

I’ve been to Valbella many, many times and often for a holiday. This Christmas Eve was very unusual in my experience. Our table wasn’t ready when we came in. The bar and entranceway were packed and I thought we’d never be seated. We did wait 15 minutes but apologies all around. There must have been a problem because I’ve never experienced this. Once we sat down at the best table (in front of the fireplace), all went well. The waiter was fantastic: he didn’t rush us, had a sense of humor and acted like we were his only table. Everyone enjoyed their meals. A lovely way to spend Christmas Eve.

So cozy for the holidays! Food and service were amazing, didn’t feel rushed. Had an amazing meal and amazing time.

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.

Our experience was great! The noise was a little loud. The only complaint. Would definitely recommend and will go again
