Dressing Room
Dressing Room Review
Opened by the late Paul Newman and renowned cookbook author Michel Nischan in 2006, this pretheater favorite, beside the Wesport Playhouse, celebrates regional American, farm-to-table cuisine. Many ingredients on the menu are sourced locally; others come from prominent ranches and farms around the country. Highlights include the baby back ribs, served with an apple-cabbage slaw, and seasonal items like the Connecticut lobster succotash with fresh corn, zucchini, and roasted peppers. A huge fieldstone fireplace warms the rustic-chic dining room, with its sturdy ceiling beams and barn-board walls.
