   A little surprised (esp. given the price!) it was a prix fixe for Mother's Day -- was not clear on the reservation. Environment felt a little "industrial" for a special occasion.

   Exceptional as always! The staff is familiar and friendly and goes above and beyond to take care of guests. Our meal was delicious, and on a busy day like Mother’s Day, not a single shortcut was taken. L’escale is the best of Greenwich!

   The restaurant itself is beautiful and in a great location, but unfortunately, the food was below average. We celebrated Mother’s Day there, and it took over an hour for the main course to arrive after the appetizer. The steak was tasteless and horribly burned. The duck salad appetizer was nothing special, and the dessert was far too sweet. Even the fries tasted like they were cooked in old oil. On the positive side, I want to compliment the restaurant for always decorating the place so nicely with fresh flowers—it really adds a lovely touch. I truly hope they improve the food because the location is one of the best in the city.

   Our party of 5 sat down at 7. We were slow to order which is our fault, and didn’t place orders until 7.30. But we didn’t get our entrees until around 915. At 845 I asked our server who checked with the kitchen and said we’d be the next table out once they’d finished with a group. Maybe that was a huge group but our entrees didn’t appear for another half hour. The food was ok. Nothing special. Steak was overdone and the fries were bland. Disappointed as I’ve eaten here many times before and always had a good experience.

   For dinner (indoors, early evening, on a Wednesday), the dining room was crowded, noisy, and chaotic. Staff were constantly in a rush, though not inattentive. I had the Lobster Fra Diavolo, tasty and thankfully not too spicy, my wife had the Chicken Paillard which she thought bland. Dessert was an excellent pear frangipane tart, which rescued the meal. We also had two breakfasts at L'Escale, both good and much quieter. My wife twice chose the oatmeal with berries, I had the Viennoiserie basket one day, fried eggs the next (eggs and grain toast done perfectly, bacon could be thinner and crisper). The breakfast tea is a little bitter without milk, which I had to ask for.
