Maurice Graham Henry on French restaurants in Connecticut
The day DininginFrance.com was first launched in August 2001, I went to Restaurant Jean Louis for a celebration dinner.  I'm pleased to say that I have enjoyed many fine meals there since. The accolades the restaurant received in the April 1 New York Times review are indeed well deserved! I also admire the outstanding cooking of Thomas Henkelmann at the restaurant that bears his name at the Homestead Inn. Greenwich is fortunate to have not one but two world-class French restaurants.  Further North, we congratulate The Union League Cafe in New Haven on receiving the rarely-awarded "Extraordinary" rating in 2009 from The New York Times. I encourage you to try these restaurants to experience truly exceptional French cuisine outside of New York City.
