What's Happening?

Well, we've been back almost 2 months now and I haven't written anything - I guess some updating is in order.

Openings and Closings

On the restaurant scene, Lothar's is up and running again for lunch Tues-Sat and dinner on Thurs-Sat. The Sea Dog is back. The Chef's Table in Sable River is back too - Wed-Sun for dinner. In Lockeport speak, I believe lunch is dinner and dinner is supper, whatever you call it the Chef's Table is only open in the evening.

The menu at the Chef's Table has changed slightly - I would say for the better - a bit more ethnic cuisine amongst the entrée choices, Chris had the curry when he went with Wayne (a holdover from last year's menu) and Wayne had the haddock which has a falafel crust. When Wayne and I went this week he had a lemon/saffron chicken breast and I had a very nice beef stroganoff. There are lots of interesting things to try yet. The desserts are still plentiful and wonderful. Of course there are now alcoholic beverages available.

Atlantic Waves, in its new digs on Beech St., has started selling pizza slices at noon (happy high school students!).

Charlotte Lane reopens on May 8th, after catering a fund-raiser for the Osprey on April 18th. That dinner was lovely and was combined with a wine-tasting of Nova Scotia wines from Jost and Gaspereau vineyards, introduced by the Gastereau vintner.

Bargain Giant is long gone but The Bargain Shop is set to open in that space on May 8th. A new service garage has opened on King Street in Shelburne - Dexter's. The Rose Bouquet is moving across the street this weekend, consolidating Adiva's and The Rose Bouquet into Mike Elliott's old music store.

Although for sale, the driving range has reopened as has the Farmers' Dairy Bar. The Yacht Club returns to almost summer hours this weekend as the docks go in, which means our rug hooking group can again meet on Wednesdays.
