Raw bar & private chef dining in Southport, Connecticut
Where Chef Owen’s kitchen career began, now serving the village he knows by heart.
A raw bar and private chef experience made for Southport
Chef Owen O’Shea washed his first dishes at the age of fourteen at Spic and Span in Southport, learning how a family business really runs. Southport is home turf, and cooking here feels personal.
The village’s harbor, historic homes and yacht-club culture make it a natural setting for elegant, low-key entertaining. Narrow streets and old homes call for a thoughtful, compact set-up, and we know the neighborhood well enough to plan it right.
From anniversary dinners overlooking the harbor to wedding weekend welcome parties and summer cocktail hours near Southport Beach, the village is a favorite for intimate raw bar service. Shellfish, white linen and a sea breeze go together beautifully.
