Donā€™t miss Mariner's Waterfront Restaurantā€™s last night of Restaurant Week!

Mariner's Waterfront Restaurant is open on Sunday, January 19th at 4:30 pm to kick off Winter Restaurant Week.

Mariner's Waterfront Restaurant is open on Sunday, January 19th at 4:30 pm to kick off Winter Restaurant Week.

Restaurant Week Starts Tomorrow Sunday, January 19th and we are OPEN at 4:30 pm. To kick it off I am throwing back to a poem I wrote several years ago. Enjoy and more importantly enjoy the food!

'Twas the night before Restaurant Week
and all through the house,
all the employees were stirring the mousse.

All the reservations were listed with care
in hopes that the guests would soon be here!

The servers were all snug in their beds,
while visions of Key Lime Pie danced in their heads, and Jack with his briefcase and Chef in his cap, had just settled in for a short evening nap.

When back in the kitchen there arose such a clatter, they sprang from their dreams to see what's the matter.

When what to their wondering eyes should appear, Eight cases of lobster and a whole lot of beer.

More rapid than eagles, the guests they will come and the orders will be shouted and called by name. Now salad, now chowder, now shrimp cocktail too! On Lobster, on Sirloin, on Salmon, on Shrimp! On Strip Steak, on Tenderloin too!

From the kitchen to your table, to the inside of your mouth. Eat away, eat away, eat away all!

Happy Restaurant Week to all, and to all a good night!
