Vote YES for 3 New Restaurants on Westport's Waterfront
This just in via the The Westport News. Westporters-please support this proposal at the public hearing scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday Sept 15th in the Town Hall auditorium.
"The west side of downtown Westport could soon be serving up a new menu of restaurants, if a zoning text amendment proposed by the owner of the downtown landmark, National Hall, is approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Greenfield Partners, a South Norwalk-based commercial estate firm that owns National Hall and several surrounding buildings, has secured three letters of intent to open new dining establishments on the west bank of the Saugatuck River, according to its land-use counselWilliam Fitzpatrick.
Safita, a Middle Eastern restaurant in Fairfield, would open a new establishment at 6 Wilton Road, which once served as a fire house. Bartaco, a chain of Mexican restaurants, would open a new outlet at 20 Wilton Road, which formerly housed the Peter Coppola hair salon. The third restaurant in the National Hall complex would be sushi-themed and operate on the first floor of 12 Wilton Road, which overlooks the Saugatuck River." --Paul Schott

Middle Eastern food? You got to be kidding. No falafel and camel burgers needed.
Is that a disparaging remark about Middle Eastern food? That's a bit close-minded, don't you think? Especially since I think of the three concepts being offered, there's more call for quality Middle Eastern options in Fairfield County than there is for yet another sushi or mexican restaurant. Those two have trended themselves out, in my opinion.
Safita's would be a great addition to any town. The food is fresh, healthy, tasty and different. It's become a staple take out option in our home already :-)
You call yourself "foodieonline" and make a comment like that? Go to another site. This one is about the enjoyment of food - not narrow-minded political prejudice. Safita serves wonderful food in a lovely atmosphere. Clearly you have never been there.
I agree. Safita serves up some pretty tasty dishes. I would love to have them set up shop in Westport!
