Turns out, we will NOT be open tonight.

with Amy out due to a pulled shoulder muscle and a lack of BOH staff, we are unable to open tonight.

Again, we are closed to the public tomorrow, but we WILL be back at it on Sunday.

We have already made a new hire so we can't wait to see yall then!

we're sorry to say it, but we're taking back Thursdays.

Looking for something different to do tonight?

Swing by the Ivan Calderwood Homestead for Happy Hour and fare by Chef Dave to help them honor 25 years of caring for some of Vinalhaven's finest residents!!

We are open for our normal business hours today but will be there in spirit. We would love to see everyone before or after the celebration.

📣‼️Too much of the day has gone by without water for us to be able to open tonight. Fresh produce, raw seafood/other proteins, and ice (to name a few) require a clean, operational water supply to prepare and serve.‼️📣

Without water, we got nothin.

We will be open tomorrow at 3pm once we can do so safely.
