Moli - Review - Greenwich - Fairfield County - The Infatuation

"There are few places in the world where you can eat peking duck while listening to club music and uncorking a $6,500 bottle of Domaine Romanée-Conti. Moli in Greenwich is one of them. Push through the crowds spilling out onto the Avenue and you’ll be greeted by no fewer than five crystal chandeliers leading to an even more impressive dining room, with double-height ceilings towering over hedge fund managers and their done-up dates. It’s worth coming here for more than the scene, though—the peking duck is outstanding, with juicy, flavorful meat, well-rendered fat, and shatteringly crisp skin. Go with a group and get the whole duck, which arrives in a flourish as it’s lit on fire tableside, then carved and portioned out into translucent pancakes with the works (hoisin sauce, cucumbers, and scallionssliced leeks). The rest of the menu can be a little hit-or-miss, but you’ll be happy if there are some plates of dumplings, zesty edamame hummus, tender baby back ribs, and lots of cocktails on the table. photo credit: Sam Schwab photo credit: Sam Schwab photo credit: Sam Schwab Pause Unmute" - Chloe Zale
