This small, quaint restaurant has such a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. It feels like a hidden gem. The food was outstanding, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. The service truly elevated the experience. Our server, Derek, was attentive, accommodating, and genuinely pleasant, making us feel well cared for without ever being intrusive. From start to finish, everything was amazing. A must-visit spot for brunch in Westport.

Truly one of the best restaurant experiences we have had in a while. Service and food was exceptional. Lobster Benedict was well prepared. Will definitely be returning for brunch.

I had the Halibut and my wife had scallops. The scallops were ok but not the best and my Halibut was a bit dry but tasty. The halibut was a rather small portion

Outstanding Thanksgiving dinner. We were in from out of town to visit our daughter and were impressed with the experience. The food quality was top notch, presentation outstanding, the staff pleasant and attentive. I had the traditional turkey (which was moist and included a portion of crispy skin), stuffing, mashed and yam. Delicious and perfectly portioned. My wife and daughter opted for the Wagu beef which they both loved. The four course meal was Michelin star worthy. We will return.

Food was great as always! We love coming here! It was very nice seeing Chef Brian Lewis walking around as well! Props to him!

Service was very slow. My pasta was cold so after waiting for a long time for our entrees I needed to send it back. It was a super long dinner. I also find the prices extraordinarily high.

The chef is talented here. Two of us had deviled eggs, bailing buns, chestnut soup, razor clams with pasta and winter squash ravioli followed by a peanut butter hot fudge sundae. We wanted to try a variety of things and ate every bite. The wine bill was $80 and overall, we spent about $240. We were fine with the price for the effort the kitchen obviously put in, but value was definitely lacking because of really small portion sizes. That normally doesn't bother us, but here, it was very small portions in a very tight dining space. Dessert was the only true disappointment because of the sloppy presentation. We drove 2 hours and got a hotel to try this restaurant because of their appearance on the Today Show. If you like really small plates, you will enjoy your meal. I would recommend giving customers bread or an amuse bouche. I left alittle hungry.

The food was fabulous and the restaurant atmosphere is wonderful. We were one of first patrons for an early reservation. Our waitress was immediately upon us for drink orders and then wanted to take our food order. The food came out very quickly and for a three course fine dining experience to last less than an hour is much too fast and the timing should have been more relaxed since they were not that busy. I do not like to feel rushed in any restaurant

Always such a great meal, service and vibe. We got to sit in the high tops outside and it was perfect way to have brunch in October.

My husband and I visited the Cottage for our anniversary and the staff there gave us an incredibly special experience. The food, the service, and our entire time there was at the highest quality and we will never forget it! We can't wait to go back.

Brunch was very limited in selections and portions are small. Several of menu options were disappointing. Pancake options were all excellent in taste, presentation and quality, but half the size of competitors. Nice bar and some seating there for singles and couples to enjoy. Staff is very accommodating. Will go back for dinner, as would not return for a brunch.

I was very disappointed with the food and the service. I took my family of 6 here for my sons 36th birthday. My grandson who is 9 was served a peice of halibut the size of my index finger for $57. Two of the main meals never arrived. We had a meal for $500 and could not stay for dessert. We could not wait to leave...No candles no dessert. I would leave no stars if I could.
