Posted on by Joanne

Hey everyone,

The Topside Grill is finally opening for the season this Friday! We hope everyone had a great winter (stupid snow!), and are now ready for Spring and warm weather. We have completely renovated our entire dinning room this year and can’t wait for everyone to see it! We are expecting a great weekend so we are encouraging people to make reservations for best seating during dinner hours 🙂 hope to see you all there!

We are also featuring new photography by Judith Montferrante and the Good Morning Gloucester photographers all around the restaurant! We also have John Jerome playing Friday night in the bar/lounge/pub. Also, launching my brand new Spring cocktail menu which I am very excited about (new drinks, wine, and beer). See you this weekend!!!

Thanks,

Doug Silva

The Everly Sisters
An acoustic female duet, one a fingerstyle guitarist the other a Patsy Cline enthusiast, both harmonizing to the songs of the lengendary vocalists of the 60’s era, especially a well studied repertoire of Phil & Don Everly hits.  Their acoustic style is intriguing and relaxing, bringing a refreshing new sound to many classic hits from the 60’s to the 80’s.  Both blues singers at heart, they expand their repetoire to also include folk, soft rock, oldies the Beatles and especially the Everly Borthers

 

Thursday night blues party to host Evan Goodrow

Posted on by Joanne

THIS WEEK  I’m pleased to present the return of  Mr. Evan Goodreau. Movie star, jongleur, and all-weather breakfast. He sings, he plays, he winks, he drinks. Always gives me a hard time.
Pushing from behind will be that card-carrying time bomb, the redoubtable Forrest “Tucker” Padgett on skins and bones. And,as usual, my foodtaster Greg T. on catarrh and myself on base will be rounding off this agglutination to the nearest neuron.  It’ll be quite entertaining.
