 Experience dining at its best at Thomas Henkelmann in Greenwich's posh Belle Haven. The fruit of Thomas and Theresa Henkelmann's labor, this charming, completely renovated eighteenth-century manse boasts eighteen luxurious suites and rooms in three separate buildings. Incorporating some of the manse’s original design, the dining room is as rustic as it is opulent. From the setting to the cuisine, not one minute detail goes overlooked. Enter via the front porch and proceed to the intimate bar-lounge for a cocktail before dinner. The dining room, with its half-timbered ceilings and fireplace, is divided into cozy booths and private rooms, all situated around the main tables. Service is invariably attentive, yet unobtrusive. And as for the cuisine---Henkelmann’s training under some of Europe's preeminent chefs (Paul Haeberlin, Eckart Witzigmann, etc.) ensures this German-born chef can deliver. His classic French cuisine is flawless. Examples include sautéed sweetbreads and French style peas with a black truffle sauce, and a trio of Hudson Valley duck foie gras: terrine, truffled mousse, and seared with a haricots verts salad. Follow with grenadin of veal with Maine lobster risotto, or the combination of Dover sole and sea scallops, artichoke purée and Champagne sauce. Henkelmann himself coordinates the comprehensive wine list dominated by fine French vintages. If all this somehow doesn’t impress, the desserts, such as warm Valrhona chocolate soufflé cake with pistachio ice cream, certainly will. And if you happen to stay the night, one taste of the croissants the next morning will make you a believer all over again.
