After less than a year in operation, Westport’s Post 154 restaurant has brought in a new partner to run the eatery in the former post office building at 154 Post Road East.

An announcement today said the Kelly family, owners of the restaurant, have partnered with SKAL Restaurant Group, which operates The Ginger Man in Norwalk and Greenwich and Cask Republic in New Haven.
“Led by owner Christian Burns, SKAL Restaurant Group is now spearheading the operations side for Post 154,” it said.
“The plan for Post 154 is to take what is already a magnificent space and further carve out its food and beverage identity,” Burns said in the announcement.
“The success behind our brands lies within the ability to read our customers, provide a unique dining experience, offer a comfortable social environment, and achieve that through attention to detail, service, and as always, a sense of fun.”
The announcement said guests “can look forward to seasonal and creative menu changes as well as an added craft cocktail menu, house-made infusions and a beer list fit for today’s craft beer culture.”
There was no word whether Alex Rosado, executive chef and managing director of the restaurant since its August 2013 opening, would remain.
Linda Kavanaugh, the publicist who sent out the news release, said, “This press release is long overdue, and with all of the crazy rumors and misinformation starting to fester, I thought I’d set the record straight.”
