First time here and we came to celebrate my Uncle's 70th Birthday. The restaurant is right on the water, so the views are absolutely amazing. The hostesses greeted us warmly, and we chose to sit out on the deck to take in the scenery. It was breezy and comfortable. It's a long drive from NY, so we arrived hungry. We asked for bread, but they typically don't serve it until dinner. Thankfully, our waitress understood and made it happen, bringing out two baskets for our party of eight, lifesaver! Drinks were great, and we started with the seafood tower (tip: get two if your group is larger than four). For mains, we ordered a variety-lobster roll, burger, tuna tartare, fish and chips, steak and eggs, and the kids' tuna and fries. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the service stayed friendly and attentive throughout. Only downside: there was a $5 per person fee for the cake we brought in, plus a waiver to sign. Still, overall it was a wonderful experience with good food, beautiful views, and a lovely place to celebrate a special occasion. read more

Stunning waterside restaurant. Interior is gorgeous and back patio is open for Al fresco dining. Double check what days it's open as it changes with the seasons. The harvest salad is one of the best around! read more

I have eaten here throughout all the transformations of restaurants in the last 10 years. Tonight's dinner was I would say a 5 out of 10 - I started with the tuna tartar which was delicious ; but my dish came out first and when fine dining : it's very rude to deliver courses in incorrect order. This stressed me out and also had me eating faster or slower then my guests as I could not wait , (with doors open, many flies) in and out of the patio area / out door seating area. It's unfortunate because the tuna was amazing and fresh and probably the best I've had in a long time. The chicken was okay. Asparagus needed to be rinsed more as sand was present ; and side dishes were no different than the sides given with most of the dishes anyway. I wasn't blown away, and I didn't get the ick. I just don't know if I necessarily would go back... read more

This out of the way restaurant in a country club is hard to find. It feels just a little pretentious. Staff were very attentive, walking amongst the tables to fill glasses, or pick up empty plates. The menu is brunch fare all day long. Prices a little high. Space is beautiful. read more

This was our first visit to La Plage for Westport Restaurant week 2024 for dinner. We were easily able to make reservations online for a Saturday evening. A lovely and scenic drive through the Longshore Golfcourse brings you to this gorgeous waterfront property with spectacular views of Long Island Sound. Perfect to watch the sunset from. The restaurant has outdoor seating but most was reserved on this particular night for a private event. We were seated within minutes and provided water. I decided to go with the 3 course restaurant menu of endive salad, jumbo scallop, and dessert ($48) My dining partner decided on the fish and chips (regular menu item $28). The local apples and dried cranberries in the salad offset any bitterness of the endive and watercress and was a refreshing delight. The saffron risotto had a wonderful taste and textures and perfectly complimented the seared scallop. The beet crisps were not my favorite as they were just chewy, but overall the dish was excellent. The fish (cod) was a good portion with a great tasting beer batter; the fries were super. The floating Island dessert was airy and just sweet enough with a great crunch from the crystalized almonds. So different than usual desert fare. The service was pleasant and attentive. Our server explained that the menu changes frequently using in season and locally sourced food items. We had a wonderful dining experience and look forward to returning. read more

In the recent past, my spouse and I had a terrific time, at La Plage! We were visiting Westport, CT from NYC, and felt so happy that this restaurant exceeded our expectations. Yay! I meeaaan, we hoped it would be lovely (especially since we'd gone to celebrate our anniversary), but it was MORE than lovely -- it was excellent. : ) We found the environment to be both warm and upscale -- even though it was "fine dining," there was nothing stuffy about it. The dinner atmosphere was elegant, charming and adult (though, again, sans being stuffy in tone). So, the staff members were a big part of what we loved about it. : ) Brooke, our friendly hostess, and Nick, our delightful server, were both wonderful. We arrived around 8 PM and were promptly seated. Their nurturing vibes helped us to feel right at home! Honestly, everyone was on point, from the server to those who brought us bread and butter and refilled our water. (So sorry - the only names we caught were "Nick" and "Brooke.") As we don't usually go to such nice restaurants, that was a pleasant surprise...we thought, tbh, that the energy might be a bit uptight, but - while maintaining high standards of hospitality - it was anything but that. In fact, it was really pleasant in nature. Alright -- let's get into the food! : ) I'm sorry that my photos are a little blurry here, due to the low lighting, yet everything tasted so amazing. Along with a healthy, vegetarian appetizer ("The Fall Vegetable Crudite"), I opted for the yummy fish and chips and my honey opted for a delicious burger. Both were expertly cooked and presented; we loved our meals! And - to top it all off - we rejoiced in a shared chocolate lava cake with English cream and pistachio sorbet. It was to die for! Or - to be more positive - it was to live for! LOL It was all incredible - and made for such an enjoyable anniversary celebration; thanks so much for your hospitable ways, La Plage team! We wish you all only the best and brightest, and hope to see you all again. : ) Your New Friends, K & G read more

Food was not good- the dishes didnt look as presented on the website. Flavors/seasonings used did not mesh together at all. Server was great. Good views but wouldn't recommend. Reached out to restaurant three times with no response. read more

My husband and I ate at Laplage and it was great! My lobster roll was delicious, the views on the water are amazing. Our waitress Annmarie was helpful and attentive, took very good care of us. My only complaint is the heat. It was very hot and there weren't any fans or coolers to make it better. Perhaps more A.C. Still, we would go back! Great food and service read more

We've been coming here for years, but no more. Their lobster rolls are pathetic. Barely any lobster in a butter-soaked bun! (for $42.00). Salad was overdressed and other meals lacked flavor. They used to be much better. Need a new chef and higher standards to justify their prices. Waitstaff are very good, however. read more

I had Dorodo dried out piece of sh.......Service and ambience no complaint but we will never go to this place again until they replace all kitchen help starting with the short order cook !

One of the most beautiful spots we've ever brunched at! I just couldn't get over that ocean view! We did the price fix brunch, which we thought was very reasonable and had some great options. We even treated ourselves to a little dessert afterwards! The staff were very attentive and everything came out quickly. Definitely keeping this spot in mind for future brunches and even special events! read more

Wonderful panoramic views of LI Sound! Very good and friendly service. Good and varied menu. Prices are typical Fairfield County, meaning medium high. Portions are good sized but not massive. Our party of four each had a different entree. Everyone enjoyed the food. No one thought their choice was exceptional. Very good was the common call. Nice choice for a special event. Picturesque. read more

Waaaaaay overpriced! Very nice ambiance and service but the food was terrible. I had lobster chowder with hardly any lobster in it and my husband had tasteless fish and chips. Only the batter had any flavor! Extremely disappointing and expensive. AVOID! read more

The only thing great was the views. Burger ordered medium rare with no cheese, came out well done with cheese & the fish & chips were pretty bad. It took 40 minutes for food to come & we couldn't find out server to get the check (after she saw at least 2x that we were done eating but never stopped at the table) read more

When visiting your superb restaurant the afternoon of last Saturday, I realized that F Scott Fitzgerald and his wife Daisy spent time here in the 1920s. A hundred years ago shortly after the Titanic sank. Memories like this make me proud to be in your amazing restaurant every time I am there. Jeff and his staff are UNBELIEVABLY good at what they do. Professional. It puts a little spring in my step that's how professional they are. Thank you for the wonderful food and hospitality you show every time to me and my friends and my wife. In a world that doesn't seem to care about people anymore you do and always makes me Thankful. read more

Had a lovely birthday dinner at La Plage in Westport! The view is absolutely gorgeous - there was a wedding happening and we arrived in time to see the sun start setting. For appetizers we split the Oysters Rockefeller which were delicious, and the Mediterranean sardines, a new addition to the menu, that was very flavorful with added chorizo and potatoes. My father got the paella which he loved, my husband got the lobster roll which was good and I got the very refreshing kale salad. For dessert we ordered the cheesecake which came with a very sweet birthday candle and they accommodated my fathers dietary restrictions with a sugar free dessert! It was a great ambiance, and a lovely dinner read more

We had an excellent meal and five service at La Plage while visiting college friends in Westport. Appetizers consisting of mussels, and endive salad were top notch. All entrees - lobster roll, salmon, cavatelli- were well prepared. They have a nice wine list, too. Lava cake, Maple brûlée and chocolate mousse capped the very enjoyable dining experience. read more

This review is for the Thanksgiving dinner we had at La Plage restaurant in Westport, CT. Wining and dining at its best! They had a prefix set menu with delicious choices. We ordered the seafood linguini, steak, bacon wrapped oysters and assortment of fabulous drinks and desserts. Very friendly and attentive staff with excellent service! I ordered a cocktail that did not please my tastebuds. The waiter was so attentive and immediately suggested me another drink and gladly replaced it. Oh and did I mention the view? Simply splendid. read more

No complaints here! The food was great, service was lovely, view was beautiful and restaurant was homey and clean. The bathrooms were super clean and smelt great. Very well kept. The staff was also super nice, even the ones who poured water. We got the calamari for an appetizer, and I got a pasta for dinner. Everyone at the table had nothing but good things to say about their food. Parking was easy as the lot was large and free. read more

I very much enjoyed La Plage. The service was wonderful. I even had two free coffees. I enjoyed the artwork, even in the ladies' room. The energy was peaceful, and it seems like a wonderful place to return to do more reading and some writing by hand or on my Wordpad. The view is good enough; of course, it is comparable to the Hamptons or other shore places, but it can't approach any of many places in Greece and then Italy. The food was good. I loved the rose, which I have only recently started to order over white or red wine. The clams casino, although I prefer baked clams were great, with a wonderful balance of garlic herbs and butter. Writing of butter, they should put some more rock salt on it, great idea. They should also have more of a variety of buns, bread, cheese sticks, and such. The spinach omelet was wonderful. I loved the soft goat cheese and avocado textures. The salad was good. The chocolate mousse could have been more chocolaty and served with some cake and could have been served not in an at times hard-to-maneuver jar. The coffee was good. The brunch was reasonably priced at $29 for two items or at $35 with dessert. The rose, at $10, could have been a bit less to match other prices. The music was wonderful, mostly remakes of 1980s music, at times by non-original artists, to a mellow yet sensual beat and rhythm. I heard that they have several parties, like the one they had on Halloween, complete with a haunted house; it must have been great. read more

Beautiful views and a large patio area make this place special. The rolling lawns of the country club hide this little gem. The food was excellent, we both had the chicken and waffles from the brunch menu that includes a mimosa or Bloody Mary. The dish had a tasty buttermilk dressing for the fried chicken. It had a lovely sweet flavor and is complemented very well by the bbq maple syrup flavors. The service was exceptional. Attentive friendly and quick. Highly recommend catching the view of the sailboats while enjoying a cocktail while the weather allows. read more

I wrote one review & it was flagged insinuating I was not following the guidelines of this site. So lets try again , shall we? Have dined at La Plage multiple times... View is lovely ; food is ok Manager on site cool to the customers unless he knows them. Look.... When you go to a place several times & converse with favorite servers & observe, you learn a thing or 2. They say they don't get sufficient breaks, are never fed & the Manager gets a cut of their tips! I wont go to a place that has "just ok " food & the employees are not treated properly. La Plage is resting on their fortuitous view & not putting enough consideration into the people who make a restaurant great. read more

La Plage had exceptionally beautiful views of Long Island Sound on a perfect sunny summer day. My friend , Jacqui, and I met for our annual girls weekend dinner and enjoyed the Arctic char, mussels, black bass, and seafood salad. The service was excellent allowing a sampling of three vintages until we found our favorite champagne. read more

I'm so disappointed in La Plage. I love the ambience and views there and have had many nice lunches there with friends. However we went there for my sister's 40th birthday with a large group and it was a complete mess. The food took FOREVER and when it came they completely forgot my husbands food. The waiter barely checked on the situation and did not apologize. He finally came back to check on things after the rest of us were done eating. Again no apology. Finally the manager came over but also barely apologized. His solution was to take the meal off the bill. YA THINK?? That's the best you can do?? My husband said to please not bring his food because he didn't want to eat after everyone else was done. They did end up bringing his food- THE WRONG DISH. They also forgot to bring the fries for all of the meals we ordered with fries. My dad asked the manager to at least add free dessert which he said he would. But when the check came; no dessert was comped. Some of the food was good (mainly the appetizers and desserts) but the entrees were not great. The ambience and views were the only good part of the night. With what you're charging customers, hire more staff and train them appropriately. Do better! read more

Forget all those past mediocre restaurants in this location. La Plage is managed by a first class restaurant group, and the food, and the service, are right there with the best restaurants of the area. The vibe is modern and, well, vibrant. The main deck, on the water, was full, but we were seated on the side porch, also with excellent water views, and I think it's the quietest part of the restaurant as well, something we appreciate. An extra plus: the corkage fee is reasonable, so I brought my own wine, It's a gem. read more

Was so excited to try this place when my fiancé and I popped in to see our wedding venue this week. It just so happened to be restaurant week, so we were very excited to try a bunch of things. Service: 10/10 The waiters were phenomenal, super friendly and attentive. The water glasses were always filled promptly Ambiance: 9/10 I loved the decor of the restaurant. We sat outside in the covered porch area, and we loved the lighting out there. Only suggestion is that with the winter approaching, they should add some additional heat lamps because we were very cold sitting on the edge where the heat lamps up too could not reach. Food: 7/10 We started with the Catamaran cocktail which was excellent, but the glass was only 2/3 full when it arrived at the table. We enjoyed the kale truffle pinsa, faroe salmon, panna cotta, and ile fantantte. The greeb circle chicken was good, but a tad dry, and the prosciutto pinsa had too strong of a blue cheese flavor for our personal preference. I also wish there were more menu options, especially entrees, as there wasn't a wide range. Overall: 8/10 We loved our experience and can't wait to be back to try more things (hopefully some menu changes). I'm sure it will be even better during the summer months! read more

La Plage, where you are treated like La Poubelle. Restaurant half empty, but they won't seat you because...reservation. Make online res, but they still won't seat you til it's time. Restaurant still half empty. Admonishment that you may not get seat you want...even though all seats on and around are empty. Either purposefully nasty to increase status, or hosts require major training. Food was absolutely delish. read more

We discovered this outdoor bar/restaurant on the water on google on our way home from visiting family. Great atmosphere, views of the Long Island Sound the staff was outstanding. We just had drinks at the outside bar and clams, fantastic. read more

Service was ok - definitely feel like your getting rushed out of your seat, plates will be cleared from in front of you even as your still picking at it and as soon as you say no to dessert your check arrives even if you wanted another drink. Food - for the pricing would think you would get much better food - they serve the lobster roll with onion straws on it - could not think of a more over powering food to put on - for a "high end" restaurant to put simple packaged dried onion straws on a dish is not what I want or expect. Way better restaurants to eat at but if all your interested in is a water view give it a try. read more

I had such a wonderful experience here with my girlfriends for a birthday a few weekends ago!

Beautiful setting, horrible hostess. NOT CUSTOMER FRIENDLY! Management: train your employees and change your ridiculous policies! What a horrific experience we had... We walked in at 4:00pm. Inside is empty. Not a person at any of the tables, one guy sitting at the 15-person bar. We ask to sit at one of the tables to have a drink, but we're told we have to go outside to the patio, because inside is reserved for dinner. We go outside. A dozen people scattered about...two guys sitting at the outside bar, a group of four folks in the lounge chairs, another 25 tables each one empty. Empty. No one. We sit down at one. Hostess comes over and tells us they're reserved for people dining. I remind her it's 4:00pm, we are just having one drink, and that there's no one here. She says "unfortunately we cannot allow you to sit there". ... she points to a high table and tells us we can go there. So, we do. They're not ideal. Off to the side and in the sun. It's very hot outside and the table is in the sun. There's an umbrella nearby and we ask if we can move it over. Hostess says "unfortunately we cannot allow the umbrellas to be moved". So, there we are. 25 tables in the shade on the patio. Not a person at a single table. We can't sit there, we can't sit inside either. So...we leave. Goodby! What a shame. Beautiful setting... horrible treatment. I want to say to the hostess "unfortunately, you're an idiot", but I don't. One star for the beautiful setting and one undeserved star because I'm a generous guy. read more

Always a great venue for showing off CT to my NY friends who come up to visit. I love the porch on a beautiful morning for brunch, looking out over the sound. The old Inn and a walk on the grass down to the shore. The menu is terrific and great wine selection. The service is excellent. read more

The setting for La Place is beautiful. On the Sound, sailboats, beach and golf. But that's where the good stuff ends. The food is mediocre at best but that is probs too nice. The Lobster Roll was $29 and was sprinkled with the worst parts of the lobster (claw cartilage, anyone?). The roll was baptized in butter as well. The service was very rough. For example, two of our entrees arrived ten minutes after everyone else's. Not good. The place needs a ton of work but it is not at all worth it. read more

Wait staff and bussers very friendly and professional--but who wouldn't be with that view? We'll be back! read more

A+ experience from "a local", not sharing the insider tips. Seafood salad is legit. Good draught beer, drinks are done right.
