The Whelk

The Whelk is a locus of Westport's thriving dining scene, representing one of Connecticut's most creative seafood menus under James Beard Award-nominated chef and owner Bill Taibe. The New England-chic dining room features a statement white marble bar befitting a sophisticated oyster bar. Every meal should begin with the restaurant's addictive smoked-trout dip, served with crispy trout skin and Parker House rolls. Small plates are craveworthy and expertly prepared.
