Thomas Henkelmann is the most French of German chefs. Born in the Black Forest- this devotee of French gastronomy learned his trade in Alsace before moving his pots and pans to Connecticut- to this beautiful 18th century Victorian manor house situated near the waters of Long Island. Inspired by his travels- Thomas Henkelmann likes to break down boundaries between products and to create surprising combinations such as his champagne sauerkraut accompanied by a seafood mousseline. Each of his recipes makes a veiled reference to his origins. His partner Theresa - an interior designer - has turned this hotel into a setting worthy of his cooking by creating a European atmosphere inspired by Balinese and Chinese styles. This must be Greenwichs most tasteful address.
