The Westport Yacht Club Is Open

June 13, 2018 By Geo Davis Leave a Comment

Have you heard the rumor? It’s true. The Westport Yacht Club is open! What a thrill to experience this local summertime institution back in full swing.

A couple of tasty weeks into the summer 2018 season I can confidently say that Emily, Scott, and their enthusiastic team are off to an outstanding start.

Thank you for a wonderful opening weekend! xoxoxo ⚓💙 #westportyachtclubny #westportyachtclublakechamplain #wyclc #westporteats #westportdrinks A post shared by Westport Yacht Club, NY (@wyclakechamplain) on May 28, 2018 at 2:34pm PDT

After a one-season hiatus (Bernard and Rosemary Perillat retired and closed Le Bistro du Lac  in the autumn of 2016.) this spectacular lakeside dining venue is open once more. Welcome back, Westport Yacht Club. We missed you.

Westport Yacht Club Backstory

It personally pleases me for so many reasons to celebrate this new chapter at the Westport Yacht Club (WYC), not the least of which is that I’ve known Scott Brankman and Emily Farnsworth-Brankman for decades. I’m 100% confident that this dynamic duo will transform the Westport Yacht Club into one of the hottest dining destinations on Lake Champlain.

Yes, I’m biased. But mark my words, and soon enough I’m confident you’ll agree with me.

It seems like yesterday that we were all teenagers and twenty-somethings living and working what we imagined were the best summers of our lives. (Who knew that summer would just continue to get better and better and better each year?!?!) I personally recollect working as a lunch and brunch waiter for Drew and Linda Sabella, the now retired chef/owners of  Anthony’s Restaurant & Bistro in Plattsburgh, in the mid/late 1980s when they were running the WYC. Ah, nostalgia…

Scott and Emily have similar memories.

We’re so happy to be back in Westport and so grateful for the amazing opportunity of running the Yacht Club… Both of us worked in this building (Scott with Anthony’s and I with Le Bistro) when we were in our early 20’s. And, we’ve worked in many other restaurants in Westport including the Inn on the Library Lawn, Westport Hotel and Westport Country Club  — where we met and got married! (Source: Emily Farnsworth-Brankman)

Chef Scott and his bride have deftly if unintentionally invoked nostalgia for many of us by returning to the original name. Despite Bernard and Rosemary running the restaurant for decades as Le Bistro du Lac , many of us have never quite been able to break the habit of calling it “The Yacht Club”.

Finally we’re back in sync with reality.

But there’s more than the sweet meat of memories fueling my enthusiasm for Scott and Emily’s new and improved Yacht Club.

Westport Yacht Club Reimagined

After almost two decades serving traditional French bistro fair, the menu will evolve to reflect the bounty of local food and beverage options being produced in our community. As a chef Scott Brankman is weaving fresh local ingredients into his vision of fusion American cuisine. And the result is exceptional.

Currently WYC’s local food and beverage purveyors include:

• Rolling Hills Farm , Westport (Pork)
• Spring Brook Farm , Westport (Maple Syrup)
• Sue Sherman via Bessboro Shop , Westport (Jam used in cocktails)
• Bessboro Builders , Westport (Flowers)
• Juniper Hill Farm , Wadhams (Vegetables)
• Dogwood Bakery , Wadhams (Sourdough Bread)
• Reber Rock Farm , Essex (Chicken)
• Champlain Valley Milling , Willsboro (Flour/Grain)
• Springbrook Hollow Farm Distillery , Queensbury (House Spirits)
• Saratoga Farmers Market , Saratoga Springs (Rhubard and Vegetables)

Emily explained to me that they plan to continue expanding this list of local sources as the season progresses.

Our food menu and Signature Cocktail list will change and evolve through out the summer as different ingredients come into season. We always want to keep it fresh and interesting! (Source: Emily Farnsworth-Brankman)

Not only does this bode well for diners, but it strikes me as an incredible opportunity for local farmers, beer and wine makers, food and beverage artisans, etc. I’m thrilled to see our community working in concert at yet another local eatery.

Here’s how the new restaurateurs describe their Westport Yacht Club restaurant

The restaurant, a long-time favorite of Lake Champlain boaters, first opened as a private club and was transformed into a public restaurant in the 1980s. Emily and Scott have family ties to Westport going back several generations. They currently own and operate Braeburn Tavern in Saratoga Springs, NY. Chef Scott’s seasonal menus specialize in American cuisine, drawing influences from his experiences in kitchens from Colorado to Boston to Southern California. Emily brings over 20 years of front-of-the-house experience to developing a creative drink menu and global wine list as well as managing a loyal team whose family-like dynamic provides uplifting service. Growing up, both owners have once worked Summer jobs in the Westport Yacht Club restaurant. They are looking forward to coming home and making the space their own. (Source: www.westportyachtclubny.com )

And everyone I’ve spoken to about the newly reopened WYC shares their optimism and enthusiasm.

The menu changes daily, but here’s an example from Wednesday, June 6, 2018. (Click image to enlarge.)

And to whet your appetite further, check out three recent dishes:

Hungry? In order (as you click through the slideshow) those dishes are:

• Lobster Toast, Homemade Brioche, Sherry Butter
• Crab Spaghetti, Basil-Ramp Pesto, Lemon Bread Crumbs
• Burger, Vermont Cheddar, House Steak Sauce, Crispy Onions, Homemade Chips

Reservations, Pre-Theater, Docking, Etc.

A few final thoughts before I sign off and let you head down to dinner at The Westport Yacht Club.

Starting in July, WYC will host a “Ledge Hill Brewing Night” on Wednesday nights. Ledge Hill Brewing Company  owners Mathew Brankman (Chef Scott’s brother) and Emma Gibbs will supply their freshest beer of the moment, and Scott will create an à la carte tasting menu to pair. They plan to start serving the beer and bites pairing at 5:00 PM until they run out.

Emily recommends reservations (518-962-8777) for everyone, especially on Depot Theatre nights and Ballard Park events — “the earlier the better, as everyone will most likely want to dine and depart at the same time” — but she reassured me that walk-ins are always welcome. If you decide to eat at the WYC on a whim they “will be happy to accommodate.”

Emily pointed to that they have even added some “funky, casual seating on the side deck off the bar where people can enjoy a meal or sip a cocktail.” So, if you decide to swing by without a reservation, you just might have a really good excuse to try a WYC Signature Cocktail while gazing out over one of the finest views anywhere in the North Country.

And don’t forget, boaters are welcome. The docks will be fully usable as soon as the lake finishes retreating.

Food fantastic ! Nice location and great wine list. Service was excellent. Oysters !!!!!! Yum! Great views of Lake and VT mountains.

Delicious food. Perfect view. Lovely people. Absolutely worth the visit. Good cocktails too!

View from the deck

Larry and Laine Ihave always been very accommodating Great business owners and very helpful staff with a great location and a wonderful little town Thank you again

Screaming crying children running around throughout dinner father sat there whole time calling the. Children restaurant staff did nothing even though they were alerted food was good but We will never return

Gorgeous view and beautiful seating indoor and out. Kind of like a secret location that is truly beautiful and amazing for pictures. Waiters were amazing and friendly and willing to make the experience well. The food is good but could've been better for the price. I was told they only have one chef. Overall good experience and good drinks too!

The view and the experience were outstanding. The restaurant is nestled down a quiet residential road, and overlooks Lake Champlain. There are a few tables right on the water, and small fire pits as well. The service was top notch, and the food and drink selection was lovely. Highly recommend.

Brand new spot on the shore of Lake Champlain in Westport Ny. Absolutely can't beat the view. Good service throughout our drink service then dinner. Derek was amazingly attentive and personable, tons of smiles throughout. Features lots of local produce and meat, a boon to the area. Had the scallops, well prepared and seasoned. Leon, the burger of course. Both of us enjoyed the food and ambiance. Had a good time chatting with other summer locals (like us) during the rain storm. Hope this place endures. A place for inventive cocktails and a good wine list is desperately needed in this sleepy shore town. The Champlain valley has much to offer, come eat here and see for yourself.

Delicious food and great service, and they've always managed to squeeze us in even when we forgot to make reservations. One slight quibble is that they could shake up the veggie platter and do different veggie offerings. That said, everything I have ordered here has been excellent -- try the warm olives -- and the crisped brussels sprouts even better than that.

Hard to find but worth it. Gorgeous setting right on the lake with lots of outdoor seating. Food was very good. Tuna tartare was great. Gazpacho soup had that fresh taste of Summer.

Delicious dining right on Lake Champlain. Loved their leek soup, crab cake, and desserts.

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

I am a nyc foodie/curmudgeon/hard to please annoying food whiner... I had a wonderful meal including maybe the best scallops I've ever had, along with everything else perfect, especially the view. Why you would not want to dine here is an unsolvable mystery....

Our first time. Beautiful views of Lake Champlain compliment your dinner. We tried the Thurs oyster/drink happy hour and were not disappointed Realized how much I missed fresh oysters Service was friendly and fast Post happy hour we managed to share a tuna sashimi app... as well as the burata. Both tasty as was the lobster spaghetti entre. Friendly crowd helped the dinner atmosphere even further. We’ll be back More

While enjoying the scenic lakeside view from our table we had a quality dining experience ordering from a small but varied menu. Our server Annette took very good care of us and with the coordination of the kitchen delivered hot, tasty meals in a timely... fashion so we could make what turned out to be an outstanding show "What the Constitution Means to Me" at the Depot Theatre in a timely fashion. The only negative was it took two requests to get the management to turn down the very loud music . More

The view and the experience were outstanding. The restaurant is nestled down a quiet residential road, and overlooks Lake Champlain. There are a few tables right on the water, and small fire pits as well. The service was top notch, and the food and drink... selection was lovely. Highly recommend. More

On our second visit to this restaurant this season we experienced what we felt was a kitchen that was not able to handle the Friday night crowd. My wife had lobster risotto which she enjoyed on our earlier visit but this time it had very... little lobster in it. I ordered rigatoni bolognese as I did on our first visit but it arrived at the table barely warm this time. After its return from the kitchen a second time it was hot and delicious. More

People travel to Lake Como, Italy for views like this. And the food was excellent. A green salad with fruit, dressed perfectly with a maple balsamic. My pork chop with peaches, sweet potatoes and greens was wonderful and my friends bolognese was heavenly. I can’t... say enough about the food and the staff. Very beautiful setting and it was a perfect evening to dine outdoors. Oh, and don’t miss the watermelon cosmo! More

This restaurant was recommended. We were seated next to a group of noisy crying children though out dinner. Father sat there yelling child's name and did nothing. I alerted Restaurant staff who did not help. Children were running around the patio in spite of social... distancing rules. We ate quickly and left. Food was good but terrible experience More

Fantastic spot for dinner right on the water. Wonderful salads, solid entrees and absolutely fantastic desserts. Always a vegetarian friendly entree on the menu, but great steaks and seafood as well. The bolognese is our favorite! Highly recommend!

Great food, responsive, friendly servers. Wonderful views of lake . Fast delivery of appetizers and good spacing between appetizers and main course.

I recently accompanied family members for lunch at the Westport Yacht Club that is situated on the banks of Lake Champlain. It was a gorgeous day and a light breeze was blowing in off of the lake. We were warmly welcomed by the staff who... offered us a table on the covered deck outdoors. Tables were topped with white fabric tablecloths and a piece of brown wrapping paper on top of that. The decor was nautical and informal. There was strung lighting for dinner dining, adding to the overall relaxed atmosphere. The lunch menu was somewhat limited, having a list of cocktails on one side and approximately 10-11 entrees on the other. All entrees were enticing, most having a Mediterranean influence. I lived in Italy for forty years and I normally avoid ordering Italian food stateside, as it often doesn't live up to my expectations. I ventured out at the Westport Yacht Club and ordered Spaghetti with Wild Mushrooms. I asked that the pasta be cooked al-dente and the chef happily obliged. The spaghetti was scrumptious! Served in a light, creamy sauce topped with a little pesto and Romano cheese. One of the best plates of pasta I've had in the USA. Other family members enjoyed steamed mussels serviced with toasted bread for dunking and a hamburger. We passed on dessert as there were only two items available, both chocolate-based. Service was friendly, attentive and happy to engage in conversation. I would love to return for dinner sometime, however, the Westport Yacht Club will be closing for the season on September 2nd. During the normal season, they are open for lunch on the weekends and dinner nightly. Prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend the Westport Yacht Club to the TripAdvisor community. More

Food was very, very, good. Tuna Tartare as good as I have ever eaten. Highly recomended. Prok chop, perfectly coooked. Scallops, for this far inland, were a wonderful surprise. Don't heistate. Alfresco at its finest. Staff were warm and friendly, service a tad uneven or... 5 stars. We will be back. This is their first year and I expect the place to be off the charts next year. Chef is talented. Wine, by the glass was pricey. More

Even though we've lived in the area for years, we hadn't been to the Westport Yacht Club before. We certainly have been missing out! We had a fantastic experience, our table had beautiful lakeside views, and we all sat facing the water. Drinks were quite... tasty, we tried their take on an "old fashioned", which added a delightful new spin on the classic drink adding a dash of maple syrup that was not overpowering at all, but a delicious concoction on a cool summer evening. Our appetizers were excellent, particularly the tuna tartar. The grilled scallops over risotto is a must try if you like seafood. Overall, well worth the trip if you haven't visited before. We will definitely return and wish we had dined there sooner! More

Delicious food, friendly staff, reasonable prices, and lovely view! We were able to walk here from our inn.

Delicious dinner right on the Lake Champlain waterfront! Highly recommend the scallops! Great food, good service, wonderful view…..what more do you need??

We have been to the Yacht Club numerous times this summer and have enjoyed every visit. The food is delicious and the service is great. We are fortunate that the restaurant is a short walk from our house but we would drive if needed...it is... that good. Definitely the best restaurant on New York’s Champlain coast. More

Took over an hour to get served, ordered a burger, fries were cold, told the server and somehow got a replacement of hot fries ... in 3 minutes. Place has seen better days. Mens room needs some TLC Read more

We dined here on a Sunday evening while on vacation with family. The view was by far the best part of our experience. We dined ... outside, however on a trip to the restroom inside, we found the dining room and restroom to be in a dilapidated state. The menuwas small, drink selection small, and most importantly, the food was very disappointing and portions small. We were expectingfine dining, however we were met with flavorless risotto, a hair on the scallops, and watered down cocktails. The service wasadequate, but not spectacular (we understand it is hard to find help in the current climate...). Do not recommend thisrestaurant. Read more

We took scallops and risotto,,, as if the chef really used all the salt ? too bad because it would of mad a good difference?

Amazing food to match the beautiful views of Lake Champlain. Appreciate the attentive service/accommodations - especially from ... server Hudson and bartender Caleb. Thank you! Read more
