Over the past year, The Ritz has become a contender in the restaurant scene on Martha’s Vineyard.

It’s funny how I sometimes forget that some places are open in the off-season, like Isola in Edgartown. Not the the dining room, but the pizza place, next to Espresso Love. Since the Frugal Foodie will be soon coming to an end with Summer approaching, I thought I’d try to give you a couple more restaurants to visit before then. D...
