Comings & Goings: Cottage Restaurant Opens

The Cottage Restaurant opened today at 256 Post Road East in Colonial Green in space formerly occupied by LeFarm (see WestportNow, Oct. 2, 2015).  Chef/owner Brian Lewis (above) describes the cuisine as “locally inspired, cultivated over the years with European and Japanese influences” and his 12 years of experience in California. A Culinary Institute of America graduate with honors, he went on to earn his Bachelor’s degree in business management from Johnson and Wales University. He formerly was owner and chef of New Canaan’s elm restaurant. In addition to dinner 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday (and 10:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday), Lewis said the 40-seat Cottage will soon offer a 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Sunday brunch and a 5 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. supper.
