About L'Escale
The Spotlight on L'Escale

Elegant Waterfront Dining with a French Riviera Vibe

Located in the heart of Greenwich and nestled along the waterfront at the Delamar Hotel, L'Escale offers a taste of the French Riviera just minutes from popular concert venues. With its warm, Mediterranean-inspired décor, wood-beamed ceilings, and harbor views, this upscale spot blends coastal charm with fine-dining sophistication. The menu is rooted in Provençal cuisine, offering dishes crafted with fresh, local ingredients and expertly paired wines. The dress code is smart casual, making it a great option for a stylish pre-show dinner or late-night bite.

Why Concert-goers love it

L’Escale’s proximity to downtown Greenwich venues makes it incredibly convenient for concert-goers. The ambiance is lively yet refined, with a buzz that builds naturally before a night out. Service is consistently praised for being efficient and attentive, helping guests enjoy a full meal without worrying about missing showtime. The scenic views of Greenwich Harbor add a special touch to any evening, and the bar is a popular spot for a quick drink before heading to a performance.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish kickoff to their concert night
  • Solo travelers who want to dine well and soak in the atmosphere

What People Say

Guests on TripAdvisor and OpenTable love the cozy-yet-elegant ambiance and well-executed French coastal dishes. Many highlight the outdoor terrace as a must-visit in warmer months, and the harbor views are frequently described as "stunning." Diners also note the professional, timely service, which is ideal when you’re on a schedule. The cocktails and wine selection also receive high marks for quality and variety.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that prices can be on the higher end, especially for drinks or specialty items. During peak times, the noise level can rise, which might not appeal to those seeking a quiet meal. Parking can also be limited when the hotel is busy, so ride-sharing or arriving a bit early is a good idea.

The Bottom Line

L’Escale is a perfect pre-show destination for concert-goers craving upscale French flavors, harbor views, and a vibrant yet elegant atmosphere just steps from the action.
