Excellent place. Food is always on point.
Miss the old tapas style menu (and the crab toast) but everything is delicious and the cocktails are lovely.
Lovely and Enjoyable ❤

The Whelk is a popular spot in Westport known for its consistently outstanding food. The grilled whole-fish trout or snapper remains a highlight. The atmosphere is enjoyable both inside and outside, and the noise level is noticeably down. The menu features dishes like oysters, salads, seafood, and lobster pasta, all delicious and really fresh. The service is incredible and always top notch. Recently, the restaurant has introduced new menu items. 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 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, mellower vibe.
