I haven't had anything else yet. and there's also a bistro (also du glace) attached (typical but great looking menu - steak frites, calves liver, frogs legs). If anyone has gone, I would love to know thoughts. It seems like a great addition to the region. Both the bistro and pastry chef are ex-Copper Beech - good background!

Mon Jan 21 20:09:55 -0800 2008 3315129 141873 jkuhlen 1 3322712 We were there last week. Food was great(frog legs best I've had anywhere) and less expensive, as was the wine list, than Copper Beech, plus no attitude. Sadly service was terrible. New restaurants really need to take the time to train their waitstaff. Our server took so long to approach our table after we were seated that the owner finally sent the hostess over. We were never told they had evening specials, were asked if we wanted dessert while we were still having the entree, never asked if we wanted a second glass of wine, when asked on an entree preparation we were told I think it is...etc. etc. Would suggest you wait until they get their act together before you try it.

Tue Jan 22 20:22:03 -0800 2008 3322712 141873 jkuhlen 3 3323473 agree with jdgall. Service was really off. But it is very difficult to get help on the shoreline. We loved our meal. It was Copper Beach without the pretense. Cool decor. Shoreline needs more places like this.

Thu Jan 24 12:03:31 -0800 2008 3327564 141873 jkuhlen 1 3324220 Actually heading there tonight with some friends - so good to know it has some growing pains so I dont get aggravated. I "THINK" the chef/owner was the one who designed the menu for and got the actual bistro started for the Copper Beech a few years back. They seem like a nice couple and I hope it works out for them . He is an excellent chef and very creative without pretense - I ate several times at CBI's bistro and loved it - I hope he put his mushroom soup on the menu - was one of my absolute favorites!!! I will post my thoughts after we eat there! Wed Jan 23 09:48:25 -0800 2008 3315129 48025 few 1 3512949 I had a very lackluster meal at Du Glace, which is too bad because I live about 2 minutes away. The store front is lovely, and my mother raves about their baked goods, but my family's meal was underseasoned and poorly executed. Working in the restaurant industry, you can imagine how excited I was, but: my frog leg's were soggy and thus very unappealing, and my Tournedos Rossini, in spite of the presence of foie gras and duxelle, was very underwhelming. I know that they used frozen foie, and the potatoes were terribly underseasoned. If Deep River wants to jump-start it's dining scene, then it needs a rock-solid restaurant at the helm. This is not it. Thu Mar 20 18:27:15 -0700 2008 3315129 167418 Boydyob 2 3588647 I have been to Du Glace on 3 occasions and completely enjoyed all my meals. At separate meals my frog legs were anything but soggy and my Tournedos Rossini was the best I have ever experienced (and less expensive). I recently had the same dish at an hotel restaurant in Manhattan and it did not measure up to Du Glace's delicate presentation. Deserts are outstanding. Not suprised to hear that the owners were trained at the Culinary Institute. Whenever in the CT shoreline area Du Glace is at the top of my list. Sat Apr 12 20:39:29 -0700 2008 3512949 183090 bball
