The Parrot's Pins is, of course, still open 5 days per week selling utterly fabulous creative cuisine. The winter would have been very bleak without Keith and Shelley.
On May 14th, The Town and Country reopened for the season - still under Vonda's management. The sale price is now down to $109,000 - any takers?
We went there for supper on Wednesday since our stove is currently out-of-commission due to laying of floor tiles. Wayne had fried clams and I had fish cakes - both good ordinary meals. The restaurant is still very bright, clean and welcoming - I sure hope someone comes along who wants to run it (hopefully year-round). Tim, are you listening?
It appears The White Gull will be opening in late May - Liz was advertising for staff to start on May 25th. Hopefully this will occur on schedule since it's such a lovely spot to dine out on the deck on a summer evening. The entire complex including the marina is for sale still too - don't know the price but it is substantial, so a very limited market.
Further afield, Charlotte Lane reopened on Mother's Day (Tues - Sat) so Lothar has reverted to his Thurs - Mon schedule to ensure there's a good restaurant open in Shelburne every day during tourist season. I had lunch at Charlotte Lane yesterday with my rug hooking group - we were having a farewell lunch for one of our members who is moving up to St. Margaret's Bay to live with her son. There were a few new items on the menu, including a pasta dish using Peter's fresh sausage from The Town Market and a new apple pie that looked delicious. Cora and Sue are still there; there were some interesting new crafts in the front of the shop and some not-so-interesting modern art on the walls (apparently it's very popular and sells like hotcakes but I guess I'm just a Philistine).
When we were golfing at White Point last week, we hoped to have a late lunch at The Quarterdeck but it hadn't opened yet. It did appear that opening was imminent - likely it occurred the next day for the Victoria Day weekend traffic.
