Built in 1900, this historic building has long served as a gathering place for islanders and visitors alike. From 2017 to 2021, the previous owners thoughtfully renovated the space, transforming it from a beloved casual family eatery into a new concept with table service, locally inspired cuisine, craft cocktails, and live music. The revitalized restaurant was embraced by the community and praised by a Portland Press Herald food critic as the ''best renovation of 2019.'' Large picture windows in the back dining room offer beautiful water views, and the full bar adds to the inviting atmosphere. Although the restaurant has not been in active operation since 2021, the space remains well-maintained and full of potential ready for new owners ...
