Cru to Open in Westport This Month


Cru, which will have an international menu featuring American, Pacific, and Mediterranean cuisine, will open before the end of May beneath the Gap on Main Street in downtown Westport.

Co-owner Steven Prokop, who also owns Cuvee in West Hartford, said it was a "no brainer" for he and his partner, Todd Rose, to open another restaurant in Fairfield County.

"We thought it was a smart area. We got hooked up with David Waldman and thought it was a great location for exactly what we want to do," Prokop said.

Cru will have a "retro speak-easy" feel to it, according to operational manager Amanda Moffo. The bar will seat more than 30 people and will also feature a sushi bar.

"A lot of people that live around here go to where the nightlife is in Stamford and SoNo and I think with the addiction of all the new restaurants that are coming to town, Westport will be more of a destination," Prokop said, adding that most people leave the downtown area after the retail stores close at 6 p.m.

Prokop said he intends to open Cru within the next three weeks.
