Anyone ever eaten or worked at Thomas Heckleman? If so, how was your experience? I'm considering a trip.

Doonie, never heard of it can you tell a little more about it, sounds interesting.

Trish, Thomas Henkelmann is the eponymous restaurant in the Homestead Inn, in Greenwich. The inn became a member of the Relais & Chateaux group in 2002, and the restaurant has been awarded Relais Gourmand status, which means that it is rated a cut above all other restaurants in member inns. We have stayed at many R&C properties and, while we have found that the food usually ranges from very good to outstanding, sometimes it has not lived up to our high expectations. That has even been the case occasionally with Relais Gourmands. We have not yet been to the Homestead, but a stay -- and, of course, dining in the restaurant -- is on our agenda this year, in the spring or summer.

Had a great lunch there recently, but I have not been there for dinner in a few years. The quality of food and the preparation is on par with top NYC restaurants. Great service. I highly recommend. Like I said though, I have not been there for dinner in a few years.

I have not been there in several years either, but the food, atmosphere and service was really wonderful. It was always one of my favorite places.
