Changing tastes led to Black Duck’s closure

Over four decades, the Black Duck Cafe thrived as a riverfront destination in Westport. Changing times, and a transforming neighborhood, led to difficult days for the Saugatuck River mainstay, and its owners announced this week it will close on Sunday. A Tuesday post on Facebook confirmed the decision. “It is with a heavy heart that we announce our closing. We’ve had an amazing 40 years here in Saugatuck/Westport, and we are grateful for every friend we’ve had the pleasure to serve and entertain along the way,” the Oct. 30 post read, noting the establishment will officially close Nov. 4. Business hasn’t been what it used to be, according to co-owner Peter Aitkin, who opened the restaurant in April 1978.
