Ventures LLC, which is a partnership led by Greenwich Hospitality Group

waterfront between Long Island Sound and Longshore Golf Course.
La Plage is a
collaboration between Charles Mallory, founder of the Greenwich Hospitality

“We are excited to introduce our newest restaurant concept and look forward to
creating an elevated dining experience with a sense of casualness befitting of
this extraordinary coastal locale,” said Mallory in the press release.
Showcasing a central raw bar featuring fresh shellfish and oysters from around
the country and views of the Saugatuck River and Long Island Sound, La Plage
will offer indoor and outdoor dining for about 160 guests at a time.
“Our goal
is to pleasantly surprise our guests with sea and garden inspired dishes that
are tasty, healthy and environmentally friendly,” says Executive Chef Frederic,
also of Artisan and l’escale restaurants. “We are committed to supporting local
fisherman and farmers by using freshly harvested seafood, shellfish, farm fresh
produce and sustainable meats.”
Reflecting a progressive kitchen, the menu
features seafood and vegetarian selections.
Signature dishes include
pinsas, a light, crusty hand-pressed flatbread. Grilled and then finished in the
oven for a charred smoky flavor, pinsas come topped with kale and quark cheese;
prosciutto and mission figs; and Caesar-style with grilled romaine.
