   Perfect Saturday night it’s like dinner with family. Thank you to the Le Penguin team for great service, food, setting. Our favorite spot in Greenwich. Without peer.

   This used to be my favorite place. This last time, the best part of the meal were the French fries. Something happened. Hopefully an off night, but everyone’s food was bland or overcooked. So sad.

   The food was delicious. We all ordered specials, thanks for our enthusiastic server. We always ask ourselves why we don't go more often.

   A fun, bright experience for a midsummer lunch treat for Mom which Le Penguin did not disappoint. Lively, colorful, intimate dining room that fluttered with chatter. Attentive wait staff and Ivan made sure we were happy. Love the simplicity of the table with the penguin drawing on the rustic paper bag looking table runner and blue polka dot salt shaker - fun! We feasted on the Tomato Burrata appetizer which melted in my mouth with a happy marriage of savory and sweet flavors. Saumon Grille was poached to perfection (although not sure what the crunchy shavings were atop the fillet) and Mom raved over the Moules Frite in a dreamy saffron sauce. I am no fan or mussels, but that sauce was a huge "yum"! No complaints, even with being seated at a small table only 3 steps from the front door which would not usually rest well with me. Great bistro to elevate a lunch date. Magnifique - looking forward to returning soon!

   Excellent small French Bistro. Food was very good and reasonably (for Greenwich, CT!) priced. Charming ambiance. We had lunch before visiting the Brandt Gallery

   Always spot on. Very consistent quality across the menu. Can get noisy and cramped on busy nights.

   Two out standing entrees - a cauliflower salad that was quite unusual and excellent then an amazing trout. I mentioned the noise level was high , but that was just one boisterous party and when they left (finally!) it was much better.

    Overall experience fine - tried to modify reservation to add a fourth to our group - we were told we were given the only three top in the restaurant- when we arrived we were seated at a table that clearly could have seated four
