Two years ago the Jared Coffin House had the Brick Bistro as a really creative new restaurant, but by the end of the season, it was gone, , chef Michael Sturgis apparently deciding not to return.
Then, last summer the Essex Room at the Jared Coffin House opened late in the season, with high praise, at least from the writers at Yesterday’s Island. While we had planned to review it this spring, we must have blinked, because it has vanished, too.
According to this week’s Inquirer and Mirror editor’s column, the space is again vacant, with Nantucket Island Resorts unable to find a tenant for this season so far.
Meanwhile, the on-again off-again Rotary Restaurant has been taken over by Marco Coelho, the owner of Lola 41 and Pazzo restaurants, now renamed Lola Burger, replacing the Lola Burger once on Steamboat Wharf (Broad St), in a space now occupied by Nantucket Pasty Company.
And parking is already a problem, with the Inquirer and Mirror running an advertisement advising people not to park in the I&M lot if they are doing business elsewhere (such as next door at the new Lola Burger).
