Here is just a selection of Martha’s Vineyard eateries with new specials and promotions.
This past Friday was the inaugural wings and oysters winter special at Offshore Ale in Oak Bluffs. Patrons packed the pub from 3:30 to 5:30 pm enjoying 25-cent buffalo and teriyaki wings and $1 oysters. This year, a disclaimer came with the menu, informing customers that the wings and oyster special is dine-in only, that wings can be ordered in a minimum of five, increments of five, and a maximum of 20 per person at one time (you can order more after your initial serving), leftovers will not be packaged, and if you are on the waitlist for seating that extends past the promotion end time of 5:30, they may have to stop taking names prior to 5:30. In addition, during the promotion, a limited menu is available, including a hummus platter, Bavarian Pretzel spears, chicken or veggie quesadillas, and brick-oven pizzas.
Offshore is still offering their ever popular two-for-one entrée special on Monday nights. Also new to the brew pub is cribbage night, every Thursday at 8 pm, starting this week. Bring your own board or use one of theirs. All levels are welcome, and check out the pub’s Facebook page for more information.
Tisberry in Vineyard Haven has expanded its offerings to include soup, salads, and smoothies in addition to frozen yogurt. Hearty winter soups, such as New England clam chowder, winter vegetable with dumplings, beef stew, and pasta fagioli, change daily. All soups are served with a big hunk of crusty baguette. Similar to the toppings for frozen yogurt, the salad bar has their own add-ins. Customize your chopped salad, made with organic greens, or choose from one of the five classic salads, such as the Modern Asian made with edamame, crispy Chinese noodles, slivered almonds, Mandarin oranges, carrots, organic spinach, and romaine topped with a miso ginger dressing. Enjoy a soup and salad combo for $9.99. Also try their pour-over coffee, a Japanese method that makes individually brewed cups. Tisberry is open 11:30 am to 3:30 pm, Tuesdays through Saturdays, with the hopes of soon being open seven days a week. Check out the Facebook page for daily offerings.
