    Always a feel good experience dining at Terrain Westport! And food has always been a winning choice. This time we had pork tenderloin which was excellent. The chicken pot pie was so yummy just missing a solid portion of chicken. Looked so pretty and tasted great though, for sure. Service is always with a smile and helpful. Non alcoholic drinks were creative and tasty too!

    Valentines weekend dinner. Traditionally a very busy weekend. We were seated in a room normally used for large parties but that was in use for the weekend. It made for a very cozy enjoyable experience. Our server, Kayla, was very knowledgeable and attentive. Food was amazing. Fresh bread and shrimp cocktail with jumbo shrimp to start. Perfect crab bisque-so delicious! Husband had the Rib Eye, which was cooked to perfection, along with Yukon mashed potatoes and creamed corn with bacon. I had the lobster tail with the Yukon mashed potatoes and creamed corn with bacon. Too full for dessert! Perfect evening from start to finish. Very pleasant staff and wonderful food. Highly recommend!

    A great place to eat and celebrate a special occasion or just for drinks and or dinner. Food is delicious with choices for everyone including non meat eaters and gluten free. The menu for specialty drinks is very good. Beer menu also provides many choices. Both beer and cocktail menus provide non alcoholic choices. Servers are attentive and efficient. Prices are a bit higher than a typical pub tavern however the food is outstanding!
