Forbes Traveler Names JEAN-LOUIS in Top 10 Romantic Restaurants

Forbes Traveler recently released its list of the top 10 romantic restaurants in the United States, listing Restaurant JEAN-LOUIS as one of its best. For the full story by John Mariani, see the full article.

Excerpt:

Yet, while grandeur does have its romantic charms, sometimes small is not only beautiful but better. Case in point is Restaurant Jean-Louis in Greenwich, Conn., whose tiny dining room has the look and feel of a fine restaurant in Provence. The ebullient personalities of Jean-Louis—picked by the James Beard Foundation as the “Best Chef, Northeast”—and his wife Linda Gerin have made this a long-time favorite for people who want to take an entire evening to feast, drink good wine, and fall in love for either the first time or all over again.

Restaurant Jean-Louis, Greenwich, Conn.
Highly personalized cuisine, service as deft as it is discreet, and the intimacy of a small dining room make Jean-Louis a natural for a lovers’ long evening of great food and wine.
