The pieces are falling into place

Though it is a day late, happy Cinco de Mayo! The deadline for opening is rapidly approaching. We here at the Fisherman’s Wharf Inn are hard at work, preparing the inn and grounds for our 65th season. Decking is being replaced, carpets are being cleaned and refreshed, and a good number of rooms are getting some much needed upgrades. I was handed the new dinner menu just the other day, a clear sign that are approaching the season. Our executive chef, John Reed, back from another successful season at Sugarloaf, has done some adding and some subtracting- all in efforts to please your palettes and delight you stomach. I am most looking forward to the Macaroni & Cheese, with penne pasta, lobster and white truffle oil. And to be honest, I am not sure what white truffle oil is, but it sounds delicious. This will be my first stop on the new menu. I will hold out on you for a little while on the rest of the new items- this is in hopes that each and every one of you that is reading this will take the time to come and sample it for yourself. I know we will appreciate it, and I am sure that your tummy will too.


If you had not heard yet, our own Laura Honey took home another award. She was honored, justifiably, by the Rotary for Lifetime achievement. This new award has taken its place with the many other honors that have been bestowed upon this wonderful lady. If you have never had a chance to meet her, stop in at the Fisherman’s Wharf. You are sure to find her busy coordinating a rehearsal dinner, greeting guests in the lounge, or perhaps if you are lucky, you can take a peek behind the curtain, catching her unwinding with a quick game of solitaire. She is, as they say, living history- she could fill volumes, I am sure, with her knowledge of the Boothbay Harbor region, the Fisherman’s Wharf Inn and Maine in general. For forty five years, Mrs. H has toiled away within the walls of the Fisherman’s Wharf- lending her heart, soul and intellect to the operation. I would daresay that Mrs. Laura Honey is as much a part of the Fisherman’s Wharf, as the Wharf is a part of her. Mrs. H and all the staff at the Fisherman’s Wharf Inn in Boothbay Harbor, Maine, invite you to join us during the upcoming season to experience Maine at its finest. Call now, 800-628-6872, for reservations.
