Dining Out at Westport’s Tierra Restaurant

Despite a report that Westport’s Tierra restaurant, 90 Post Road East in the basement of Old Town Hall, had closed, the restaurant with a Latin theme was very much in business tonight. Southport residents Lucinda Sill Morrison (l) and Amy Waugh Curry were greeted by waiter Haakon Sorenson and manager Christian Hurtado (r). Hurtado said a friend called him today and said he read that Tierra had closed. “I said ‘what?’” he said.” “I called the owner right away and asked am I out of a job?”  “She didn’t know what I was talking about.” Tierra serves dinner from Tuesday through Saturday 5 p.m. – 10 p.m., and is closed Sunday and Monday. The restaurant no longer serves lunch but may resume that in the summer, according to the employees. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
