Poke Noodle bowl, topped with lotus chips with Mandarin orange drink
Ken H.

Opening day! Got poke my way regular size - kale noodle bowl, scallops/ahi tuna, lots of fixings and crisp lotus roots to top it off for $10.95. Was VERY tasty and definitely didn't feel like I loaded up on a heavy lunch yet I wasn't hungry afterwards. If you're doing poke your way, I'd recommend looking at the menu at pokeworks.com first, then you don't hold up the line when it gets busy - and it will since many of you have been waiting for this place to open like forever. There's 6 steps to complete your bowl. I breezed through on their first day but it was after 3 PM. Otherwise, maybe order their signature works which is like 8 different predetermined poke bowls, until you're more familiar with their menu. If you don't want any raw fish, they've got albacore tuna, shrimp, tofu and chicken. I think the bay scallops are cooked too, but the ahi tuna and salmon are raw. If you've got some food allergies, the signature works bowls show all ingredients such as soy and gluten so you can choose the appropriate bowl or just do it your way. As with other poke chains, toppings like avocado are extra, but you can load up on all other free mix-ins, toppings and crunch if you want some added value and a few more bites, they'd probably not get upset if you asked for a bit more of this or that. If you're not careful and add extra protein for a large size bowl and pay for some toppings, you could be nearing sushi/sashimi deluxe pricing at a typical Japanese restaurant. But that's your choice and what you're in the mood for when you get in here. Important tips - if you're shorter than the sneeze guard when you're ordering, speak UP or you'd have to repeat what you just asked for. The acoustics and ambient noise can make it difficult for them to hear you, or for you to hear them! Also, when you get to the flavors - that's their sauces that are mixed into your bowl - they'll ask if you want light, medium or heavy portions of the sauce you pick that's suitable for your taste. After you pay and find that you want a bit more flavor, you can add more sesame oil, soy and siracha sauces yourself. So, Yelpers in Westport - your own poke place is finally here. It ain't Hawaii, but it's as close as you can get for these parts of Connecticut. So get in here in high volume to constantly move the fresh ingredients in and out.

Limited options in the area and my co-worker picked this place. These poke places are popping up all over the country: some are great, some are decent and some will close within a short period of time. Similar to the cupcake craze from a few years back: everyone loves the concept, simple menu and fresh product. Like cupcakes, how many can you honestly eat in a week or every week, etc? So enter the poke place: fresh(?) fish, build your own (Chipotle line) and quick relatively healthy lunch. Food: Tuna was decent, but the spicy salmon did not taste fresh. I had the burrito, but the slice of nori is not well suited to properly make a burrito and the "Auto" rice dispenser didnt really properly apply the rice or the guy doing it is new to it. Even though I had minimal ingredients, the nori didn't fully wrap around. The taste was "ok", except for the salmon: there is no way it was fresh or the spicy marinade was off. I do not recommend getting it. Service: Pleasant with a smile and walk through the ingredients. There was more staff on hand than diners during lunch time: not a good sign. Overall: Its not the worst, but overall its just not very good. Prices are competitive, but the poke bowl place by my house back in IL, is more expensive (+$3/$4 per bowl), but has more fish, fresh and tastes better; as well as offer free miso soup with bowl. I will not be coming back here, but maybe over time this place can improve.

Pokeworks in Westport Ct.  So delicious.

I love grabbing a cup of coffee and walking along the river or to the shops in downtown Westport. They are known for having their own exclusive coffee bean that is super healthy and packed with extra antioxidants, called the 'Supr Brew'. They also do some amazing in house flavor options (including no sugar added) All of their baked goods are made in house including the gluten free options. They also don't use any refined sugar in their kitchen...Truly a great spot for healthy eats and drinks. Their popular 'no-tella iced latte' and the dairy free cold foam options are a must to try! The cookie butter latte (pictured) was delicious. Their locations include: Darien, Westport, Cos Cob, New Canaan (CT) Rye Brook & Chappaqua (NY) & a few more opening up soon Key Features: DF/GF/Vegan options. Quiet spot to work and no line, quick to receive order. They have a great loyalty points system (text/phone sign up) and I have often gotten discounts or free beverages when ordering. They have a large full grab and go section for food items and they have a great smoothie/juice fresh option that has not disappointed.

I'm a vegan and was asking about an item and her response was "it should be." When in fact that particular food item was not vegan. I ordered the vegan sausage and cheese sandwich. It was so bad, was processed food, not fresh, and was microwaved!!! I was so sick from it the rest of the day! It was my first time there and will be the last! Don't recommend and would advise to not eat there! Whoever he influencer is should find another job. How could you praise this awful place! Repulsive!!!

Their classic margarita never disappoints (with Tajín on the rim, of course), and the tacos are consistently flavorful and fresh. I almost always start with the plantains and chips with guacamole, which make the perfect shareable appetizer. There's truly something for everyone, even for those who wouldn't typically gravitate towards Mexican-inspired cuisine. That said, the service has become a bit hit-or-miss in recent visits. They are an extremely busy location so I understand the hustle. I was happy to see they brought back the traditional table-side ordering after a period of having customers place orders exclusively through their phones. The current hybrid approach is a much better. You get the more personal and professional experience of ordering with a server, while still having the option to pay or place additional orders through your phone if needed. Despite a few service inconsistencies, I'll definitely be back for another margarita and taco night soon!

The service and food are both exceptional! The waiter was knowledgeable of the whole menu and lots…read moreof items are gluten free, which is huge for GF eaters. I loved the tacos we ordered. Our favorites were the chicken tinga, sesame ribeye, and crispy shrimp. The margaritas were also tasty and refreshing, not overly sweet. We had the watermelon mint margarita and green margarita. The place gets very busy, especially on weeknights, so be sure to join the waitlist with the nifty online feature or in person if you plan on going for a date night. There is room outside to wait and an outdoor heater too, which is thoughtful. It must also be nice in the day time with the view of the water.

For some reason, this place has been on a steady decline for a while now. My wife and I have been…read morecoming here for years, but over our last several visits we've noticed the quality, value, and overall experience have continued to slip. Unfortunately, today's visit was the final straw, and we've decided we won't be coming back. Since changing the name from Studio Cafe to Tailored Home Cafe (located inside the interior design shop), something seems to have changed--perhaps new ownership or management. The portions are noticeably smaller, the food quality isn't what it used to be, and it's hard to justify paying Westport prices for an experience that no longer matches the cost. It's disappointing because this used to be one of our favorite spots, and we've visited well over 20 times over the years. I genuinely hope they can get back to what made them so successful in the first place, because we'd love to see them return to the quality that kept us coming back for so long.

He was a little disappointed since we ate / drank in the cafe and he got an actual cup that there was not a free top off. I got a flavored iced latte (its several days later and honestly I cannot remember the flavor). I just had milk in my latte but I probably could have used one sugar. Studio Cafe also had a nice outdoor area for when it warms up.
