Details Matter at MŌLÌ in Greenwich
Details matter at MŌLÌ, a Chinese restaurant and bar on Greenwich Ave. styling itself after 1940s Shanghai. The rice is perfect. The kitchen, under the direction of Chef Luis Parreira is skillful. The drinks compare favorably to better-known and award-winning bars elsewhere in the state. The service is affable. The dining room is handsome.
On a recent weekday lunch, a companion and I sat at a corner table under chandeliers and subway tiles of the former Putnam Trust Co., wishing a little for a better cup of tea than jasmine and a tea bag, stepping through a menu that felt comfortable in its own skin appealing to whatever your pleasure – lobster, truffle, Satay Wagyu or maybe poached Hainan Chicken, beef tendon, Cold Jellyfish and Cucumber Salad.
