The Westporter — Restaurant in Westport

Unfortunately -

I went here with my wife and mother in law. I have been vegan 7+ years now, but wife and mother in law are not. On their menu, it says they offer multiple vegan options. However… there are multiple items that have vegan ingredients such as vegan mayo in the cauliflower tacos, but don’t have the “v” next to it. When I asked if the entree was vegan, waitress didn’t know and said that was a good question. So she went and asked the kitchen. Kitchen told her that “we cannot guarantee it is vegan.” To which I replied hm, that’s strange what does that mean… to which she replied “well they don’t know if there’s egg in the wraps.” To which I thought.. wow they cant read the ingredient list..?

Anyways, I ordered falafel. And oh my. The inside was 100% raw. The outside was fried and crispy but it was legit raw and wet inside… never ever seen falafel like that.. Then my wife had salmon. It was.. literally ice cold and very little flavor. Mom in law got a poke bowl with salmon (their special for the day) which was also.. ice cold.

the bill was over $100…

Waitress's lack of attentiveness: there were only two or three tables being waited on and we barely saw her; extended wait times while she stayed inside the restaurant; another waitress came to take our meal order and we only saw her once more; No offering of water or bread for the table; Limited menu of offerings and strange spice additions to otherwise staple food items; Skimpy portions and high prices=stinginess; "Sides" are the size of a thimble Dixie cup; clearly the motivation is to make money at the customer's expense; Hair was found on the cheese of my slider; waitress said she "wished she had known about it;" she would have, had she bothered to ask how our meals were; Half of the sliders were refunded=stingy; Piped-in 80s music overpowered the outdoors and made it difficult to hear one another; I cannot recommend this restaurant to my friends and will not...

As a Westport local, I can confidently say The Westporter is a gem. They serve up fantastic food and great cocktails in a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff is always friendly, and the place is clean and inviting — perfect for a night out with your spouse, family, or friends.

On certain nights, the place really comes alive with locals — it’s not uncommon to find yourself rubbing elbows with half the town as everyone gathers to enjoy a good meal and a craft beer from one of the many local breweries. They also offer a solid selection of other beer brands to suit every taste.

The atmosphere has a cozy, slightly rustic charm that makes it feel both laid-back and special. If you haven’t been to The Westporter yet, you’re truly missing out on a great little spot to relax, enjoy good food, and soak in the...
