Comings & Goings: Blu Parrot Takes Jasmine Spot

A new restaurant, Blu Parrot, featuring live music and a light menu, is coming to 60 Charles St. in the Saugatuck location of the former Jasmine Restaurant and onetime Arrow Restaurant. Westporter Adam Lubarsky, who owned the now closed Georgetown Saloon in Redding from 1978 to 2004, is the tenant, and a lease has been signed, according to Realtor Skip Lane. Lubarsky, a Westport resident for 56 years, was spotted outside the restaurant today and said a formal announcement is coming, “probably next week” and that he hopes to be open in the fall. Lane said, “It will be a new venue for Westport, a form of entertainment as compared to the many other restaurants that are opening in town.” He added, “The streets seem to roll up after diners leave a restaurant, but the 5,700 square feet Blue Parrot will provide live music and be a fun place.” Jasmine closed in September 2010 (See WestportNow Sept. 22, 2010) (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
