In one of the more optimistic signs of summer, seasonal restaurants on the Island are beginning to open their doors.
That was on full display at El Barco in Vineyard Haven on a sunny Friday as customers lined up to get some tacos for lunch on opening day.
“Everyone is very excited that we are reopened and I’m excited about it,” said manager Brianna Classen. “So far so good. The weather couldn’t be better for today.”
“I’m hoping the early season weather is on our side and we will be going strong for the next six months,” she added.
In Oak Bluffs, the Lookout Tavern opened on April 1 and staff there said that business has been good so far.
Alchemy, located on Main Street, Edgartown is open most of the year. Chef & Owner Christopher Stam creates a unique bistro experience with an evolving menu inspired by locally sourced ingredients from land and sea. “We’re looking forward to a busy 2025 season” said Marina, marketing manager.
It’s not all systems go for everyone yet though with some larger restaurants yet to open.
