Whether you are enjoying this delightful place set upon the Saugatuck River by the cozy fireplace in the winter or on the outdoor patio in the summer, as Patricia Brooks of the New York Times says "so much is exactly right here."
"Consistently provides expertly prepared food with a few original touches... more than just a pretty space."   -  New York Times
"New England dining at its best"  - The Advocate & Greenwich Time
"A delightful place to dine"  -  Westport Magazine

 

"Every seat has a view of the Saugatuck River through floor-to-ceiling windows at this nautically decorated Westport New England newcomer, a sibling of the town’s popular Tavern on Main; sea-worthy catches like seared scallops with succotash share the menu with land-based Yankee cousins like pot roast; a fireplace warms hearth and soul in winter, while patio seating under green umbrellas by the water’s edge provides summer pleasure.
-Zagat Survey
