I just had to go the grand opening of Short & Main Tuesday evening. They’re at 36 Main Street, where Valentino’s used to be. Pretty packed by 8pm, but we found seats at the counter that faces the open kitchen. We sat in front of an iced tray of lobster, shrimp, clams, and oysters.They serve draft beer and have a full liquor license.
Amelia Monday shucked our oysters and placed them on an iced platter. Fresh and delicious!
This was the view from my seat. It’s fun to watch your food being prepared, and your pizza baked in the wood-fired brick oven. Very cozy and friendly place.
Janet and I shared a La Quercia Prosciutto pizza, made with arugula and Parmesan. It was quite tasty and unlike any pizza I’ve ever had.

Looks great! Tried to go last night after reading about Tuesday’s grand opening, only to find they were closed. Very disappointing. We couldn’t understand why it was dark with all the chairs up at 8:45pm on a Wednesday night. Checked the Facebook page to find out they are closed on Wednesdays. Odd to have a grand opening on a Tuesday then be closed on a Wednesday, but will check them out again, hopefully this weekend.

I didn’t realize that until I looked at their Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/ShortandMain. I guess they have their reasons, and schedules can change. It’s worth a visit, and I’d love to know what you thought.

Is that their permanent menu or just an opening menu?

Not sure about the menu’s future offerings. I think it may change with the availability of local vegetables and such. But pizza from their Tuscan wood-fired brick oven is the main focus of the restaurant. Of course, any restaurant can adjust to market demand. Better to do one or two things really well in the beginning, rather that have numerous so-so offerings. We’ll see!
