WEST HAVEN, Aug. 12, 2025 — (Pictured): Mayor Dorinda Borer, second from left, cheers as The Breakwall owners Brendan and Katrina Snow help their daughter, Emelia, cut the ribbon to officially open their restaurant’s new outdoor patio at 305 Captain Thomas Blvd. on Thursday, Aug. 7.
Joining the ribbon-cutting are, from left, Councilwoman Dawn Callahan, D-6, and Simon McDonald, the director of membership and marketing at the Milford Regional Chamber of Commerce.
During the chamber-organized ceremony, the husband-wife owners thanked Borer and the city for awarding a grant that paid for the new concrete patio and its decorative black aluminum fencing.
The grant was made possible through Borer’s ARPA Small Business Grant program, which is funded by the American Rescue Plan Act.
Home to “food, drinks and music,” The Breakwall offers a variety of local beers on tap and daily food specials.
The shoreline restaurant and bar, which opened in 2023, sponsors West Haven’s Acoustic Sunday Morning Concert Series.
