The Knock

We love this place. Great and endlessly fascinating interior architecture and design. The art exhibits are incredibly entertaining. The music is world-class. The drinks -- both cocktails and mocktails -- are first-rate. More than anything, the food is just staggeringly delicious. Wonderful ingredients, inspired and masterful preparation, and great variety. The depth and richness of this small-plates experience causes one to forget that everything on the menu is plant-based. How do they do that? And, oh yes, the owners are always in residence and, notably, in the kitchen and behind the bar. Their pride and passion in making The Knock a destination worthy of a journey shows in everything you see, hear, and taste. The North Country is very lucky that they decided to come to Westport.

Catherine and Taylor have created a space that is truly worthy of admiration. From the moment you step inside, it feels like entering another world—there’s a big-city sophistication to the ambiance, food, and drinks, paired beautifully with the warmth and hospitality of a close-knit community. You’re always greeted with a smile, the food is consistently exceptional, and Sadie's drinks are unlike anything else in the area. The live music performances and stand-up comedy nights only add to the magic, each one is a joy to attend. This is a place that feels both exciting and welcoming, and it never disappoints.

We are summer residents of Westport and have been to The Knock many times for music performances or just for cocktails with friends. We've always had a wonderful time and enjoyed the atmosphere, the service, the cocktails (thanks, Sadie) and the food (thanks, Taylor and Catherine). They are an asset to Westport and we appreciate all they've brought to the town.

As a vegetarian I was so excited to find a local restaurant with real plant based options. My husband was skeptical about trying it as he is a meat eater but he was so surprised how much he enjoyed his dinner. He got the black bean tacos and loved the flavors, I got the mushroom scallops and we were mind blown how delicious everything was. We will definitely visit for dinner again. Looking forward to healthy and delicious food? - visit the Knock!!!
