The Whelk is a popular spot in Westport known for its consistently outstanding food. The grilled whole-fish trout or snapper remains a highlight, often paired with warm almond cake. The atmosphere is enjoyable both inside and outside. The menu features dishes like crab toast, fries, shrimp/grits, and cavatelli, along with excellent smoked trout toast. Recently, the restaurant has introduced new menu items that are even better than before, with innovative dishes and a creative brunch menu that has received high praise. The fresh, perfectly cooked food includes seafood, oysters, and crudos, but there are also plenty of options for those who prefer non-seafood dishes. The staff, including knowledgeable bartenders, craft delicious cocktails with great attention to detail, and the wine list is underrated but impressive. Overall, The Whelk continues to impress with its inventive cuisine, fresh ingredients, and inviting atmosphere.
