Guidebook to Greenwich - Local Tips by Bruna
Food scene - Most in "The ave" and within walking distance from the house with plenty outdoor seating
A longer walk than to Greenwich Ave ( about 17 minutes - you might want to drive here) you will find Fine French dining in the Delamar Hotel, with outdoor waterside seating & an elegant interior space. The view is spectacular and the food just as good, They have live music on weekends. Reservations strongly recommended

This place is incredible. Hands down the best truffle flatbread my family and I have ever had. The sea bass was cooked to perfection and everything is so delicious. This can compete with upscale cuisine and in some cases, I dare say win.
