Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Old Greenwich

Really good food and service was great. Only two things I would change. 1. the lights in the back room were dim and keep flickering to mimic a candle. 2. when placing the order they ask for you’re whole order and we just wanted to start with the apps. But overall it was very flavorful and well plated food!! Will definitely be going again

Consistently great food and service at Louie’s. All four of us were happy with our food selections. We will keep coming back.

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.
