Very sad that one of my favorite long time, local gourmet prepared food places has gone down hill so badly the past couple of years. I'd been a loyal, frequent customer for over 10 years, gave them a LOT of weekly business, including a few large catering dinners & parties. Unfortunately it is no longer a great place to grab a salad, sandwich, or after work take-out dinner if you're too tired to cook. First they down sized and no longer had a nice, spacious room to eat in, then they couldn't hold onto their wonderful people, who frankly made the place so great because they really knew how to give great customer service. I used to know all the people there, especially Rose, who was the best! I looked forward to seeing her smiling face and friendly conversation, she always went out of her way to make sure everyone was happy. Once she left, the new people were NOT NICE! And the turn over rate was ridiculous, new people every 1-2 months. Then they cut the hours so drastically I can never make it there before they close because I work full time. I rushed to get there once about 10 minutes before closing, 4:50pm, and the door was already locked and the guy behind the counter saw me knocking on the door and refused to let me in and another person in who also wanted to give them business, I was honestly astounded. It also now takes a really long time to be helped, especially during peak lunch hours, forget making a salad or sandwich, or even getting a few things behind the counter, if you're pressed for time. Hoping they can turn things around and bring it back to the great place it used to be.

I enlisted G&H to cater my 40th birthday event at my home. Everything was top notch!! Once I filled out the event builder on their website, Paola got back to me the next day and offered to put together a menu. She was able to put together a menu that included stationary yet socially polite appetizers, buffet dinner and socially polite desserts. Paola was very accommodating with the minor adjustments I had to make due to a food allergy. Aside from the food being well presented and tasting delicious- the most amazing part of the experience was the catering staff!! Known as “The A Team,” Astrid, Michael, Craig and were courteous, attentive and efficient in their service. It truly added to the success of the event and I look forward to working with them in future!! Thank you!

Good Soup! I had a craving for soup. Walked in, saw the chicken gumbo and smiled. It was delicious! A new lunch time spot.

Highkey kind of bad. Soup was yucky. The chicken managed to be dry even while submerged in broth and the vegetables were uncooked

Been coming for a couple years and always great but lately lunch has been a train wreck and not the same atmosphere. Charlotte is a saving grace. It flows better when she is there and the days she has been gone it has had a different atmosphere. We miss her terribly. On a better note they have excellent catering and a fabulous sandwich menu! This place is a Greenwich gem. The gentlemen in the kitchen out do themselves when it comes to breakfast. A must try before or after lunch hours.

Got a chicken quesadilla warmed up and was given the choice of pico de gallo and sour cream. I had both. The chicken was creamy, not the typical quesadilla but pretty good. It was $12 before taxes.
There’s a parking lot but there is also a sign at the entrance that says “no restaurant parking” so that’s a bit confusing.

This place has really gone downhill. Half the shelves are empty. It’s quiet as a tomb. They don’t have enough staff to both serve food and run the register so they run back and forth. What items they do have on offer don’t look fresh. Yikes.

I cannot take any food establishment seriously that is using margarine as an ingredient in anything in 2024 when we know everything that we know about these fake byproducts. What next, Crisco? Olestra? Aspartame? Based on the communities you are located in, it's shocking to me that that demographic doesn't care more about what's in the food. To each her own, I guess.
