Two months and counting... It is safe to say that we are just starting to acclimate to the pace. The menu has been well received-- the venue and the drinks... And we are having fun. In hindsight, it was a lot of planning, a lot of hard work, and a lot of luck that brought the whole package together. It feels like a lot of luck. A lot of support from friends, family, and neighbors. That is what most of the experience really has boiled down to-- a sense of place, of community. The Kittery Foreside and the Seacoast as a whole delivered that community feel, even before we were able to open our doors. Now that the doors are open, and the first immense wave of guests is starting to ebb-- we still see that community every day. Our neighbors, stopping in for a glass of wine and a beer, sharing a snack with a co-worker or an old friend. Local artists, carpenters, and plumbers dropping by with a new taphandle.
Jake, Gavin, and I are settling into more familiar territory. Having a great time, and really doing what we had set out to do-- helping to provide an outlet for our community, our home. Thank you.
Our restaurant. Our story. A few people, one vision, and the long road to do it right.
