The Lion exists as an outstanding American brasserie — comfortably perched on an iconic historic spot on the Byram River in Greenwich, CT  but it also occupies a space in your mind. The Lion Brasserie is Ron Rosa’s second restaurant in Greenwich, CT. The owner of Polpo Restaurant since 2000, Ron Rosa, is from Calabria, Italy and has an international flair for elegant cuisine. Ron grew up in Brooklyn, New York where he studied engineering. His first restaurant experience was a manager at the one and only Copacabana in Manhattan, and then became maitre d’ at the El Morocco. Years later he traveled back to New York City and opened several restaurants. Ron became famous for Campagnola on the Upper East Side, and Ecco in Tribeca. Polpo, Ron’s first restaurant in Greenwich, has become a fixture among Italian restaurants in the Tri State area due to its superb cuisine, exceptional staff and elegant ambience. The Lion is primed to follow in its sibling’s footsteps.
