Westport’s Tavern on Main offers palate enticing and stomach warming dishes in a Federal style building that began its life providing food to Westporters in the 18th century. In 1813, Mr. Levi T. Downs ran a grocery store in that newly constructed building which by its very nature would have been a gathering place for neighboring shoppers. Another “social” aspect of the store was created by Mr. Downs’ daughter Esther who ran a school for girls in the back wing. 

Tradition has it that Sam Gorham’s adjoining furniture store afforded a girl watching view for the local boys. Today you can share that ambiance and tradition surrounded by exposed beams and close by an original fireplace or in summertime relaxing on a breezy stone patio.  Take advantage of the next opportunity to congregate with friends, old and new, at a restaurant where the dishes will bring you a refreshing blend of American and European cuisine.  The word cozy doesn’t even do it justice.
