Dressing Room brings exquisite American cuisine back to its roots with a menu of locally grown meals that won't leave you hungry. Chef Michel Nischan and Paul Newman created the restaurant to bring authenticity back to dining out, offering a gourmet experience that celebrates the rural Connecticut food heritage. Dressing Room sits adjacent to the Westport Playhouse and hosts a weekly farmers' market outside. The menu features ingredients from local farms across Connecticut, with an updated "heirloom recipes." Enjoy a P. L. Newman burger or a number of other seasonal selections. The restaurant is warm and welcoming, with an intimate, relaxed feel that makes you wonder whether you have, in fact, not left your home and the good company of friends.
