Restaurant is beautiful. Fantastic service and great cocktails. Food was uniformly excellent, but a bit on the pricey side. Then again, this combination of ambience, service, and outstanding and unique cuisine choices in this area these days is typically pricey, and it’s worth it at The Royal Green. The quality is right up there with the best in New Canaan and Greenwich. We’ll return!
