    Sunday brunch on a very hot day in Connecticut. Street fair in town so restaurant mostly empty, Thought food delivery for such a small group was a bit slow as compared to Bernard's of equal quality and cost. Would buy bottle of wine next time as by the glass not worthy of cost. Food quite good but for price point there are other less expensive alternatives for brunch.

    I was planning to attend a performance at the Westport Country Playhouse, and I wanted a restaurant near the theatre. I've been to Le Penguin in Greenwich, and the Westport location was ideal. This space is a bit larger than the Greenwich restaurant and includes outdoor tables, but it has the same attentive service and wonderful food with a good wine list. I appreciate restaurants that focus on giving diners a good meal with good service and no gimmicks. At both locations, I feel as though I'm dining in someone's home. If you're looking for a place to dine before the theatre, look no farther than Le Penguin. (It is within walking distance of the playhouse when the temperature doesn't feel like 100 degrees.)

    Very good as always. I love the lamb but could they change up the vegetables with it? Been served with white beans for a long time. Otherwise all great. The soft shell crab was outstanding!

    Patio seating is a great option to enjoy French proportioned seafood and steaks. Don’t miss the tomato tart to start. And if it happens to be your birthday you’ll meet Le Penguin 🐧

    Before anyone thinks I’m a relative of a “Penguin” (Mai Qui !!!) Let me be clear - we go to the Penguin because we crave Le Penguin... We lust for their crusty bread and their omelettes - my mother, a whatever that word is (she is getting up there in years but has all her own teeth..) and yet, I digress, she will only consume an omelette (outside of Paris) at Le Penguin. Man and woman doesn’t live by egg alone - spectacular salads and the gregarious waitstaff - and WHAT ARE TOU WAITING FOR ??! Go eat! Enjoy!

    Very good food with good proportions. However, only complaint is the noise level is really high when the restaurant is full.

    We usually love this restaurant and went for an early Father’s Day dinner but the food was not up to par and the outdoor seating was uncomfortable. The service is always great and we will go back but I think it was an off night for them.
