L'Escale Description:
Remember the old adage "One if by land, two if by sea?" Well, add three if by train and you are on your way to L'Escale, the tres Provençal restaurant located in Greenwich's waterfront Delamar hotel. Regardless of how you arrive just get there and you'll immediately be transported to the pseudo-shores of Southern France, ensconced in a setting that actually originated across the ocean and was meticulously reassembled stateside. Obviously restaurateurs Rick Wahlstedt and Jean Denoyer, creators of Manhattan's Le Colonial, knew what they were doing in putting together L'Escale, which literally means stopover. Suffice it to say that the locale and décor have become catnip for true Francophiles from near and far. Think bright red chairs adorning the terrace seating and a dining room bathed in white, right down to the faux antique fireplace. Add candles and chandeliers and you have the perfect recipe for romance. The eclectic and well-conceived menu includes such Provençal specialties as salade de Nice (niçoise salad, romaine hearts, tuna confit), les petites gambas en friture (crispy rock shrimp, fresh lemon), paillard de poulet (chicken paillard with shaved cucumber, red onions, arugula and lemon dressing) and carre d'agneau (grilled rack of lamb). Certainly not your typical French cuisine, but then again, you're paying dearly for the experience, and it's a lot cheaper than a plane ticket to Nice. Having said that, splurge and stay over at the Delamar after a romantic evening.
