You’ll find the restaurant known as Thomas Henkelmann tucked inside the charming Homestead Inn, a 1799 Victorian manor house in Greenwich. Named for the gifted German-born, French-trained chef (and pastry chef) who founded the enchanted inn and restaurant in 1997 with his wife, Theresa, Thomas Henkelmann epitomizes stylish French dining. The menu offers clever, but careful, takes on traditional French dishes. The lobster bisque is one of the chef’s signature items. The service is correct and formal, as you would expect in the company of such stunning fare and breathtaking surroundings. Make sure to stroll through the restaurant’s garden after your meal, or enjoy an after-dinner drink on the restaurant’s lovely front porch.
