Dining
Eating a cheap meal out on the Vineyard can be a challenge, but with the second annual restaurant week scheduled to start on Saturday, Islanders and visitors alike will have the chance to dine out and still hang on to most of their weekly paycheck.
A long list of restaurants that includes the Sweet Life Café in Oak Bluffs, Chesca’s in Edgartown, Lambert’s Cove Inn in West Tisbury, Zephrus in Vineyard Haven and many more will be serving prix-fixe lunches and dinners from June 20 to June 24.

Mangia, Mangia!
Il Tesoro at the Terrace is having a summer opening party on Wednesday, June 16, from 7 to 9 p.m.
All are welcome to meet chef/owner AJ Black as he introduces some of his new recipes
Please RSVP for this event at 508-939-3840 or by e-mail to [email protected]; reservations are also being accepted for all other nights.
Eating Is Everywhere Again
The tip jars have fresh pleas (“college tuition,” “ticket to Europe”) in the takeouts. The white aprons are pressed in the posh establishments. We can eat up-Island, we can eat by the sea, and for the moment we can still eat BYOB in Tisbury (by summer’s end, beer may be on tap).
Chefs we welcome with open mouths are teasing us with new menus. Restaurant owners are teasing us with special deals.
Wine and Dine
The Sweet Life Café is hosting a wine dinner series to benefit The Yard, beginning on Wednesday, May 19, at 6 p.m. at its Circuit avenue location in Oak Bluffs, featuring John Larchet, the proprietor of the Australian Premium Wine Collection, stopping by before heading to the Nantucket Wine Festival.
