2009 is seeing a lot of changes in the world of food on Martha’s Vineyard. In Chilmark, and Menemsha 2 big changes are the Homeport Restaurant and the Menemsha Café. The Homeport is being sold to Bob and Sarah Nixon, also the owners of the Beach Plum Inn and the Menemsha Inn. They intend to maintain the current family style of the restaurant with a bent towards locally caught seafood and an extended season staying open through Colombus Day.
The big news is the Menemsha Café ( Formerly the Menemsha Deli) has been bought by Josh and Angela Aronie. Josh is best known for his 2 past restaurants, Sharky’s Cantina and The Park Corner Bistro. For those of us who live, work in or visit Menemsha regularly this is great. Josh intends to totally change the flavor of the Café offering a broader menu of affordable and delicious food for eat in and take out. With his knowledge of food and a long list of loyal fans we expect this to be the hot spot in Menemsha.
Dions in West Tisbury which burnt down at the former location of the Roadhouse has moved into the location of Pomodoro’s on Circuit Ave in Oak Bluffs. In the place of the former Roadhouse, which has been location to many different restaurants over the years, there will be a new restaurant owned by the former owners of the Sweet Life Café. This is sure to be big news for foodies who love their fine cuisine. Also notable is that Lola’s has closed and is being replaced by the Mediterranean. All in all there are big changes in the world of food on Martha’s Vineyard.
