"4.4 The Ginger Man is located right in the center of downtown Greenwich in the midst of all the retail stores. It's also close to the train station which has worked for us for over a decade to have an annual Christmas meal here with a family member who lives in Manhattan and rides up for our lunch. The atmosphere is a blend of casual and upscale/pub and restaurant. There is a long wooden bar with stools, some tables and booths around the bar with views of the busy street, and some private event rooms upstairs at the top of a long winding staircase. The best room is the main dining room that has a working fireplace in the colder months. During the Christmas season, a big festive wreath hangs over the mantle. Arriving early, a table was available right next to the fire! It was a nice addition to see a few premium steak choices on the menu this time, but it was too early in the day. An order of ribs was described as okay, with little or no dry rub for seasoning and a sweet sauce. A side of Mac and Cheese comes with this dish plus coleslaw. More a half rack in size. Not a true half or full rack, but The Ginger Man is not a barbecue house, so he was just happy to be able to have the choice of ribs for his lunch. A steak and cheese wrap with green pepper, onions, arugula and garlic aioli on a wheat pita was flavorful and tender. Fish and chips were crispy. The kind of fish was the standard cod. The hand cut fries were perfect. I always get the salmon which changes from time to time in how it's prepared, but it's always delicious and light served with a risotto. This is a great spot to meet friends, coworkers or family, have a drink and something to eat while catching up on what's new. Service moves along and there is an extensive drink selection from the bar."
