About Us
Michel Nischan (michelnischan.com), chef, cookbook author and avid proponent of healthy, sustainable and culturally significant food and social causes, has teamed up with like-minded actor and philanthropist Paul Newman to open Dressing Room - A Homegrown Restaurant, located on the grounds of the Westport Country Playhouse. The restaurant is designed to reflect the feel of living in the Connecticut countryside and features a fieldstone fireplace, exposed reclaimed barn board walls, and heavy-timber wood columns and beams - all of which create a warm, updated country setting.

Our Mission
We believe that the food we grow and cook -- in the place that we call home-- defines who we are.

In this spirit, we…

  • Celebrate and update regional American heirloom recipes
  • Offer them genuine neighborly hospitality
  • Support local and regional farmers, fishers and producers, cooking food that recaptures the simple and pure tastes found in locally grown, natural and organic ingredients.
  • Strive to raise awareness of a sustainable food future
  • Work to restore a sense of community that brings us all back to a more homegrown time

Around our place…
Food, theater, and farming have always been important parts of American culture.

The Westport Country Playhouse has been and continues to be an important part of American theater culture, and we wish to do the same for our food heritage through the restaurant.

Our weekly Farmers Markets (Thursdays and Sundays, June through November) brings the finest farmers and producers from Connecticut to our Westport back yard, and our menu brings their wonderful ingredients to life.

Our Goal…
Our slice of Connecticut is beautiful, and a great place to live. We are proud and happy be part of our "neighborhood," Westport and Fairfield County.

We are working to build a community gathering place that brings us all together with theater and food, offering a complete cultural experience.

We're all neighbors, so come by and, in the words of PLN himself, grab a bite of some real homegrown, neighborhood "chow."

So, if nothing good is cooking at home, come on over. Pull up a chair. Join us.
