    Always a feel good experience dining at Terrain Westport! And food has always been a winning choice. This time we had pork tenderloin which was excellent. The chicken pot pie was so yummy just missing a solid portion of chicken. Looked so pretty and tasted great though, for sure. Service is always with a smile and helpful. Non alcoholic drinks were creative and tasty too!

    Really enjoyed the igloo experience. Nice private quiet setting in unique surroundings. Most important though, their food was REALLY good! I was expecting to like the igloo more than the food but was pleasantly surprised!

    Overall a wonderful experience from the minute we arrived until we left. We were initially ushered to a table for 2 and my husband asked if we could have a 4-top. Within a minute we moved to a spacious table. Immediate exceptional customer service! From then it only got better. Jason, our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly without being intrusive. Each course was delicious and this was a first: no leftovers. We literally cleaned our plates. Can’t wait to return.
