The cost, I believe, is the same as last year, $250.00 per couple… But be sure to call for additional information and to make reservations: (203) 622-8450.
And if you may be commuting some distance, my favorite place to stay in the area is the Stanton House Inn, an idyllic bed and breakfast located just a few blocks from the restaurant.
Bon Appétit!
