Dressing Room

Fodor's Review:

Opened beside the esteemed Westport Playhouse by Paul Newman and renowned cookbook author Michel Nischan, this favorite pretheater venue celebrates regional American, farm-to-table cuisine—many key ingredients on the menu are sourced locally, and others from prominent ranches and farms around the country. Highlights include dry-barbecue baby back ribs from California's Niman Ranch, served with an apple-cabbage slaw; pancetta-wrapped "day-boat" (caught that day) monkfish served alongside braised red cabbage and a parsnip-sage puree. A huge fieldstone fireplace warms the rustic-chic dining room, with its sturdy ceiling beams and barn-board walls.
