"I went here a few days ago with my family and everyone loved it! From the delicious food to the welcoming waiting service it was excellent. Also I must say something about the atmosphere, it was cozy, welcoming, and delightful. I'm sure the menu offers something for everyone. I will definitely be coming here again."

"It pains me to write this review for my birthday dinner on Saturday, 12/23. There were 11 of us, and I must say, it was the polar opposite of our AMAZING experience for my birthday a year prior when we couldn't stop raving about this place, the service, or the food. We made the reservation more than a month prior, and it was pretty annoying that they confirmed it both via text and phone call FOUR times (yes, we did confirm and answer each time). We arrived on time and my heart sank when we were taken to the dark room off of the main dining room that feels like more like eating on a patio in the winter. It was either freezing or we were broiling. The ambiance is super lacking out there I'm sad to say. The service was extremely chaotic all throughout our experience. Sitting by the door to this exterior room, staff would kind burst through all of a sudden, dropping things off and then running away. At one point, the busser had just given us refills on water and turned back around less than 60 seconds later and removed them! We had two servers (a man and a woman) who argued within ear shot of us a few times, and while professional with us, didn't seem very enthusiastic about their roles that evening. A few of us got the much-hyped halibut special that night (with a lemon risotto), & it had absolutely zero flavor unfortunately. I'm really not that picky, but it was so unappetizing. The apps we all shared were great, as were the cocktails. But, yes, entrees this go around were lacking. More than the food, the rushed, chaotic service and the lack of ambiance really made my birthday dinner an unmemorable one. Someone from the restaurant did call my husband the next day to check on our experience (which is great), but he was not honest in his feedback like I would have been."

"If the food received matched the quality of the atmosphere, service, or drinks, this place would be unbeatable. Unfortunately, both of our dishes were fairly mediocre, which was disappointing based on the price of everything. Maybe it was an off night? Either way, the atmosphere is easily 5 stars (it does get crowded and a bit loud, but if it were empty and quiet, I think that would speak to a different problem). Overall, I think it's worth giving a try, and hopefully, your food is more satisfying we found ours to be. Top notch on the drinks, though."

"This is a gem! AMAZING food, cute decor, great service! Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a cute place to eat in Westport"

"Excellent atmosphere and waiting staff! This made the experience a lot better. Just make sure to sit along the edges as we noticed many were uncomfortable with people and wait staff walking past you in tight spaces. Excellent wine list and steak selections. Will definitely come back."
