"This restaurant continues to place used and soiled silverware from your first/appetizer course on the tabletop to be reused for your entree. It is a very declasse level of service that one might excuse in a diner (although the local diner knows better), but not in a restaurant of this pretention. I had complained about this once before, and the maitre d' defended their approach on the basis of saving water. Give me a break. Or perhaps the day is coming when you will be expected to recycle your bread plate and use it for desert."

"We went there for Mother's Day and the food was awesome! I love the farm-to-table approach. However, the service was a bit slow. I think because they were understaffed a bit. We didn't mind though because we got to enjoy a long brunch outside on the patio for Mother's Day."

"We usually go to The Dressing after the WCP show for dessert, coffee and a glass of wine, however had time to grab dinner before the show. The food was good and the restaurant not too busy which was nice. I say this because we have been there when there is live music and have found it way too loud! To the point where you can't hear what your dinner partner is saying. If you choose to come at that time ask for a table either outside (weather permitting) or in the back. Service was good too and the lady serving us made a point of helping us get out on time so we didn't have to rush.
Would recommend this restaurant."

"I have never felt the need to write a poor review for a restaurant but the experience we had at The Dressing Room was so ridiculous I wanted other people to be aware. We were seeing an 8pm show right next door to the restaurant. We were told a 6:30 reservation would be enough time for dinner. The sides came out as appetizers and the what was to be appetizer and the entrees never came out at all! We were given a weak excuse by the waitress about the computer buttons screwing up the appetizers and finally after repeatedly asking when our dinner was coming we were told the restaurant opened their patio seating for the first time this season and the kitchen was backed up. We finally walked out hungry at 7:43 - without having had dinner."

"Comfortable warm atmosphere inside and delightful terrace for outdoor dining. We sat in front bar area and enjoyed the hum of the restaurant, though could also hear everything our neighbors were taking about as there was very little elbow room between tables for 2. Food is delicious, full of flavors both traditional and unique. The "Use-a-Spoon" salad is not to be missed and changes seasonally. Lots of variety on menu to please many palattes, though portions not always quite right for the price. We love coming here for a long-awaited evening out from the kids."

"The food and service was fantastic. The atmosphere is cozy/rustic and also comfortable, even though there is still the constant bustle of the busy restaurant. We had my 16 month old nephew with us and the owner came by a few times to check on him and bring him toys. A terrific family-oriented, warm spot in Westport."

"This was our first visit and it was a weeknight so they only had open the front dining room with the bar but there is a large dining room in the back.We were seated in front of the fire which was great. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful with both food and wine choices. We really enjoyed the atmosphere, quiet, cosy, unpretentious surroundings. A very good place to enjoy a nice meal with a special someone or a close group of friends. The food was very good, small portions but plentiful. I had the rabbit pappardelle and creamed carrot soup. Both very good choices and enough to fill. My husband had the pot pie, creamy, traditional more meat than veggies and he thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely go back."

"This is my 5th trip to the Dressing Room in a year and the service continues to get progressively worse. We had a Saturday night reservation for 7:45 and there was a large party in the back room that seemed to consumed everyone's attention. The front of the restaurant which was packed was merely just an after thought. In addition to our table there were a few tables around us that were also ignored. Before ordering dessert we were asked to move over to accomodate a larger party that had just walked in. We obliged and were told dessert would be on the house. To make a long story short we were still charged for dessert. Go somewhere else for better service at this price point!"

"Went to Dressing Room with an out of town friend for a relaxed catch-up dinner. We were warmly greeted, a fire was roaring in the fireplace, and we chose a table near the window and the fire. We enjoyed a delicious bottle of wine and found so many items of interest on the menu that we decided to choose a selection of small and medium-sized plates for sharing. Of the six plates we shared, not one disappointed and all were delicious. Capped the evening off with a slice of carrot cake and cappuccinos and decided we will each bring our spouses back. It was not a theater night so the restaurant was relatively quiet and unhurried."

"Always enjoy going to Dressing room. Had brunch on Sunday which was good, however the french toast although had great flavor was very dry and tough on the inside. A rarity because all the other meals are wonderful."

"I've dined at the Dressing Room numerous times, but this was my first time having brunch. I went with my 2 girlfriends from out of town, and we had one of the best brunches we've ever had! I had the eggs benedict with smoked salmon, served on a biscuit. Delicious! My friends raved about the omelet and the burger. We sat in the front room, next to the fireplace and had a thoroughly enjoyable time."

"We once again enjoyed our dinner at Dressing Room. Our only complaint is that the kitchen service was slow. The wait staff was very pleasant and attentive. It just took awhile for our entrees to be served."

"Though it is one of our favorite restaurants in the area for providing high-quality food imaginatively prepared in an enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere, the Dressing Room this past Valentine's Day was sub-par. The menu was simply a reduced version of their existing menu, the food seemed not to be prepared with the same usual attention to detail (salt unevenly distributed on the smoked duck salad, risotto with unevenly cooked grains/vegetables that seemed to have been warmed hours before) and the wait staff seemed distracted. I understand that Valentine's Day can be hectic and may not attract all of the usual guests, and I hope this was simply an exception to a normally great restaurant experience."

"My husband surprised my daughter and I with reservations on Valentines Day. He said it was difficult to find a restaurant around town that I had not already been to since we are pretty serious foodies. It turned out to be a great surprise! We found the restaurant charming and cozy with a relaxed atmosphere. Food and wine was just terrific! We had an absolutely delightful dining experience."

"I really like the Dressing Room, I go all the time. Usually for me its a 4-5 star rating. I decided to take my wife there for Valentines day, but they had a limited menu (which they did not communicate to me when they called to confirm the reservation). All of the menu items I look forwarded to ordering were not on the limited menu, which was very disappointing. While we got to order what I thought were the better dishes because we got an early reservation, the two tables next to me were not -- they ran out of food for specific dishes. Usually this is a great spot but I thought it was mediocre because of the limited menu. Make sure you check on the menu before you go to the restaurant."

"My wife and I went to the Dressing Room for Valentine's Day. The food and service were excellent, with unique dishes in every course (including Sweet Potato Cheesecake, a really good and unusual treat). Our waitress did her very best to make us feel welcome, and to make honest suggestions that turned out to be on point. A lovely time for us!"

"My wife and I went for valentines day. Place was booked, but our table was ready on time. Service was very good especially considering how crowded the restaurant was. Food was good although the menu was more limited than usual so we couldn't have some of out favorites (and they were actually out of the short ribs special ar 7:30). I would recommend atleast one fish entree for those that don't want chicken or beef. But overall, think they did an excellent job considering the fact that they were completely booked."

"I've been to the Dressing Room a few times, and generally have a good experience. They had a special Valentines Day menu this year that missed the mark, in my opinion. Not big on seafood, I had planned to get the ribs - but they had run out by 7:30. I heard neighboring tables looking for the ribs miss out as well. Portions were small as always, but with an appetizer - filling. The restaurant staff was very friendly, attentive, and provided good service. For the cost however, and the number of competing restaurants in the area - the Valentines Day disappointment will make it a place unlikely to receive repeat visits from us."

"This was our second visit to the Dressing Room and it just keeps getting better. There are new items on the menu so there's greater variety. The pot roast was terrific! Very flavorful sauce with a great combination of vegetables. We started with the Newman salad and brussel sprouts and mixed them together to make an interesting combination. The corn bread was a great treat as a side dish with the appetizers. A surprise was the angle food and ice cream desert. Simple but excellent. The wine by the glass menu is limited but a good variety of choices. Overall an excellent choice."

"Excellent menu and everything was delicious by the experience was marred by bad service. I actually had to leave the table on several occasions to find someone to refill our water, freshen our coffee, ask for ground pepper, a fork, ketchup for our eggs. We waited 40 minutes for dessert after ordering. A few of our party had to leave before it arrived. Unfortunately the service was so unprofessional that it very nearly ruined our family's triple birthday celebration. A real shame to have an inexperienced or lazy staff when there are so many people looking for work!
But, as always, the food was excellent and inventive."
