I went to Westport for a weekend and stayed at the Vacation by the Sea condos. We drove to the Westport docks where restaurants were recommended. Since we arrived later on Friday evening, the Half Moon Bay Bar & Grill was the only restaurant open. it is located at the very end of the docks. We went in mostly because there was nowhere else to eat - I was fearing expensive seafood prices but they were very very reasonable. I ordered the daily special - sea bass seared with lemon and pepper sauce over a bed of fetticini with buttered herb sauce. The meal was served with a cup of your choice of soup or house salad. And plate of bread. All this was for $22! They offered their housemade clam chowder soup - how could I refuse? I'm glad I did't! It was deliciously creamy, just the right amount of seafood, none of the fishy taste, and not too thick. They also have happy hour between 3 and 6pm for $1 pounders. We were going to check out what a pounder was but we didn't make it on time. I would definitely come visit Westport again and when I do, I will definitely come to this restaurant to dine.
