Many of  you may have seen the new restaurant sign, Garde East, where the Blue Canoe once was. If you’ve been curious, this is worth exploring. This restaurant, which offers some of the most amazing views of Vineyard Haven harbor, has been completely refreshed. The walls are white, and feature Island artwork from the Seaworth...

The Oak Bluffs harbor is one of those Island spots where you go to have fun, and there is fun to be had. An added bonus is the fact that you can get some great food there now as well. Lobsterville Bar & Grille was lucky enough to get Doug Hewson (former owner of Mediterranean in Vineyard Haven), as its new chef. This is a...

Memorial Day weekend something wonderful happened for the town and people of Oak Bluffs. We got a fish market. Our very own place to grab fresh local fish, lobsters, oysters, and more. A long time dream of owner, Sandy Fisher, came true — with the help of his friend and now manager, Shaun Fitzpatrick. Located next to the Sand Bar ...

So I have some good news and bad news. Let’s go bad news first. The Beach Plum Inn is no longer serving dinner. I am a little sad about this, but let’s move on. The good news is, that the Beach Plum is now serving breakfast. Chef Josh Aronie, who will be opening the Homeport on June 18th, has put together a fresh, local-inspired me...

Mangku will not be open for the 2017 season. Hope to see it back next year! All it took was a dream and eBay to make Mangku a reality. I am serious. Jacqueline Foster decided after 7 years of making cheese, it was time to get back into the kitchen, and with the Island being one tough place to open a restaurant, she had a solution, ...

One of the most anticipated restaurant openings in Oak Bluffs happened this past week at Down Island. Down Island is the second restaurant for the Celestial Group (Adam Jaime, Doug Abdelnour, Dave Gaffy, and Steve Ansara) which owns sister restaurant, 20 By Nine, on Kennebec Avenue, Oak Bluffs. Down Island is also on Ken...

Ah Breakfast, the most important meal of the day they say. So, I guess it’s a good thing that The Newes from America Pub has brought back breakfast. Actually it’s better than a good thing because there are some really good signature dishes on the menu. What really caught my eye was the Popover Egg Nest, which is a pair of their fre...

And craft beer, and small batch spirits too? From intimate wine dinners at stunning Island homes, to the Great Beer Challenge, to Oysters & Bubbles, to the Grand Tasting and more, the MV Wine Fest has truly become one of the main shoulder season events on Martha’s Vineyard. For me, signs of MV Wine Fest time, means that Sp...
