Seafood restaurant · Westport

"This cozy, upscale waterfront Westport seafood bar always fulfills its promise of the freshest local oysters (don’t miss the roasted ones with kimchi butter) and a consistently delicious rotating crudo. But what keeps us coming back is the juicy bacon cheeseburger, which is hands down the best in the area, as well as a fantastic fried chicken sandwich, both accompanied by their crispy, savory fries. Head here for Happy Hour and watch boats cruise down the Saugatuck river from the front patio while sipping on a Frogger cocktail and catching up with a big table of family or friends." - chloe zale, ciera velarde
