About this business
This is a full-service restaurant and nightly piano bar operating in a high-traffic New England coastal resort community, open 364 days a year for lunch and dinner. The kitchen serves seasonal new American cuisine with global influences, drawing on locally sourced seafood, meat, and produce, with sauces, dressings, bread, and desserts made in-house. The bar carries the evening past the kitchen's close, with live piano entertainment running nightly until midnight or later. The business has earned over 1,500 reviews and a loyal following built on consistent hospitality.
Founded in 2013, the business grew sales consistently for its first eleven years. The owner reports that roughly 20% of revenue comes from regulars, with the remaining 80% driven by tourists from across New England and beyond. Being one of only a handful of year-round restaurants in the area has been a deliberate strategic choice: it allows the business to recruit and retain stronger staff and to demonstrate a genuine commitment to the local community. Two managers and six bartenders have stayed on for several years, while kitchen and floor staff turn over at a pace typical for the industry.
The two co-owners are ready to retire after more than a decade of building the operation together. They are willing to stay involved for up to six months to support a new owner through payroll, financials, the POS system, and both kitchen and front-of-house management. The sale includes the real estate: approximately 2,500 square feet of restaurant space plus a four-bedroom apartment above.
