“A cute cafe located off the Main Street of Westport, but an absolute MUST try for anyone visiting. The ambiance is immaculate - very photo friendly with funky decor you can lounge on as you contemplate buying.The menu is Spanish tapas. I ordered the tortilla Española with goat cheese and arugula. It came with a well dressed side salad. Everything was delicious and fresh, and the service was upbeat and prompt. I didn't get coffee this time, but I will absolutely be back!“
“The Cottage has quickly become one of our new favorite restaurants in Fairfield county! We had a cozy date night here enjoying our seasonal dishes! We loved the green goddess dressing and brioche croutons on our “Cottage Salad”. The wagyu brisket bao buns were also a highlight, and it was our first time trying squid ink aioli, which really exceeded our expectations! My fiancé ordered the Berkshire pork tenderloin, which was cooked perfectly and even came with a knödel (similar to matzo balls), which we thought was a great pairing! Their hand-cut tagliatelle was exceptional with lamb, labne, and a touch of mint. Desserts were equally as amazing as the rest of the meal! The broken meyer lemon tart was topped with a thick layer of meringue, and the devil’s food cake was topped with a bourbon caramel and paired with espresso mascarpone. The cocktails hit the mark as well, and I appreciated that they had a section for low/no alcohol drinks! Our experience at The Cottage was definitely memorable, and we highly recommend adding them to your list of restaurants to try in Fairfield county!“
“This was the best meal I ever had at a restaurant! Ditto for my husband also. The place was a bit noisy around the 5:30-6:30 dinner time, then calmed down after that. This was also the first time I had a hot fresh cup of coffee in a restaurant. It appears this is a popular place for friends and families to go. I am telling my family and friends the food is magnificent.Vegetarian options: I am vegan. The Crispy Brussel Sprouts were perfectly done and very tasty. The portion was large so I was pleased about taking some home. The kale in the salad was the most tender I ever tasted. The cranberries were slightly sweet, and there was avocado included in the Mediterranean Salad also, I added some of the Brussel Sprouts to the salad it was a perfect dish! My husband got a shrimp dish he enjoyed. The dessert was tasty and not overly sweet, I had a warm apple tart with Carmel sauce.My. husband got the chocolate Lava cake and loved it. The level of sweetness was perfect not over done. I had no guilt breaking my diet to celebrate our wedding anniversary! The staff are friendly and timely bringing your dinner and your bill in a reasonable amount of time.So go and enjoy this wonderful restaurant!“
“Easy to make a reservation on a Friday night. The Hostess sat us right away and our Server was punctual in greeting us and taking drink orders. The drinks were well-balanced, not too sweet. We specifically enjoyed the White Bronco. The deviled eggs, pickles vegetables, chicken wings (chipotle honey), hush puppies, and chopped salad with chicken were all delicious. Our server was very attentive the entire evening and we felt very welcome and not rushed even towards closing. Thank you!“
“Fantastic place with a cool oak bar. Excellent food with all kinds of meat cuts. Mediterranean forward food. Very good quality service and one of the best bar teams I've ever seen, and I'm a server and bartender. Also used to work here. They also have the coolest owner I've ever worked for. Doug reminded me a lot of Christopher Walken with a take no prisoners mentality. He takes great care of their customers and their staff. Just an instant Westport classic.“
“Lovely stop for breakfast or lunch. Kind of loud. Service was excellent. Main courses came before we finished our soup, but almost zero wait time for both courses. I had eggs, which were good. My friend had chicken pot pie which looked good. Note, signage to find the restaurant from Route one was not good. Even as I made my way inside, wasn't sure I was in the right spot. Will be back!“
“I luv the atmosphere from the wood burning fireplace and the exposed wood beams it’s just has a really cozy feel.There food is excellent I highly recommend there french onion soup and there burgers are great oh and there fried cookie dough is amazing I highly recommend this placeKid-friendliness: Great kids menu“
“One of the best Lamb burger I ever had in my life. Cooked medium to perfection.Fried oysters are also fresh and delicious.I wish I lived in Norwalk just because of this restaurant. Definitely going there next time I visit Norwalk and try their other dishes.“
“Cannot say enough good things about our experience at The Porch at Christie's. The space is beautiful and inviting, with plenty of space to sit and enjoy their endless supply of delicious baked goods, sandwiches, coffee, etc.. After ordering our food we started chatting with Andrea, the owner, who was at a nearby counter prepping cookies and she could not have been kinder!! Such a great experience and we cannot wait to go back!“
“I visited this location for the first time for brunch and was very impressed. The food and the service were phenominal. The store that is attached to the restaurant is extremely nice and sell some great products. I plan on visiting this location on regular basis.“
“We had an amazing time at the granola bar! The food was very fresh and flavorful! If you like a latte packed with different flavors you should definitely try the Turkish latte. The cashew lemon berry parfait was fantastic. The yogurt was creamy and the granola is literally no joke! I loved the steak and chimi sandwich. The avocado aioli was smooth and all the flavors meshed well together and I love that you get a side salad with your meal. The staff is very friendly and attentive and do their best to get you seated as soon as possible. It is a small shop but was worth the little wait for a table! You can also shop their store selection and place an order to go!“
“Shaved Brussels Sprouts. If you try nothing else, you'll be happy. But if you try anything else, you'll be ecstatic! Great food, loads of seating and a great bar. Owned by the same team that owns South Bay in Fairfield. Worth the trip.“
“Nice atmosphere. All the food we ordered was very good and portions were just right. The noise coming from the bar area was a bit excessive but luckily it didn't not last long. Service was really good. All in all a great place for dinner!“
“We had the mediterranean bowl to share it was fantastic! The lobster skewers special with lemon-butter, were delicious, flavorful and well cooked. For our entrees we had the filet mignon, once again super delicious. We tried the gnocchi with sausage and chicken with vodka sauce and the cajun penne pasta. The berry berry crisp and cappuccinos to top our meal off. The server was attentive. We'll keep coming back.“
