Zagat: "Once again, chef Thomas Henkelmann and his wife Theresa achieve the "peak of perfection" with their "truly exceptional" french restaurant... NYTimes: 2006 had special meaning for me because it was the first time in 30 years of reviewing that I awarded an Extraordinary accolade. The recipient was Thomas Henkelmann at Homestead Inn in Greenwich . The cuisine is sophisticated country French with virtually everything made from scratch; the wine list is excellent; the service is flawless; and the atmosphere is charming.
