If you spend time on Facebook like me, and live on the Island, chances are you have either heard of or have seen To Go With Joe. To Go With Joe are food review videos about local (mostly) restaurants. Joe is Joe Farina, and he is hysterical. He chooses a restaurant, sometimes just because and sometimes because it has been recommend...

OFFSHORE ALE IS NOW OFF THE MARKET – after a year of working with an individual for a year, the deal did not go through. This is an interesting story for me to write. I have worked at Offshore Ale since 2005, which dates back to even before Phil and Colleen McAndrews bought it. So much has changed with them becoming owner...

Update: The chef is now Dan Kelleher. Just a couple of weeks ago, Ritz manager Ben DeForest left the business. Short lived. Ben came back. Now he’s the managing partner of the iconic Oak Bluffs bar and restaurant. With this new role, came a renewed passion to create and serve Oak Bluffs style bbq and soul food at The Ritz. So...

I think that people sometimes forget about The Terrace Restaurant at The Charlotte Inn as a dining option. Perhaps because it can be perceived as too fancy or too expensive. However, that is not necessarily the case. The Terrace at The Charlotte Inn is open almost for the whole year, and has really created some inspiring, foodie m...

Wine, Food, and faraway places, three things I love, all under one roof. The Spanish Wine Dinner at the Lighthouse Grill (Harbor View Hotel) was the perfect way for a little getaway without even leaving home. The 2nd in a series of four wine dinners, from around the world, this one brought the taste of Spain to Edgartown. The Light...

Last week I brought you the story about Chef Joe Monteiro moving and re-opening Pizza di Napoli at the Loft in Oak Bluffs. This week, I am very pleased to tell you that Joe is also opening an oyster bar. Yes, an oyster bar in Edgartown no less! Hard to believe we don’t have one yet. Joe is opening 19 Raw – a taproom ...

Ah, I remember the days of stopping by Pizza di Napoli after work in Edgartown last year, and then it was gone. This pizza place that was once located in Nevin Square — just across from our new Point B Real Estate Store — quickly made a name for itself. With fresh, inspired combinations of topics, and a crust to die for, it wa...

Isola is open for the season, and has a fresh approach to making nights in Edgartown fun. Since things are a little quiet still — though Summer is right around the corner — Isola is mixing it up a bit. A number of dining tables have been removed, and a comfy couch and chairs were added instead, creating a cozy lounge area. The spa...

On Friday, Lucky Hank’s posted a delectable picture of potential beverages available to accompany brunch. On Saturday, the text went out to meet some friends at Lucky Hank’s for Brunch on Sunday. I had not yet had brunch at Lucky Hank’s and felt inspired to go. Braving the freezing cold, we nested into a table for four. Anything y...
