Beyond 2003
Fall Leaves whirl in chilly winds, winter is upon us and Greyladygourmet is ending its third season. We continue to enjoy visiting restaurants, some new and not previously reviewed, and others old friends. Every year we observe various changes which we describe. The reviews, reflecting our particular experiences at the time of our visit, might be different another day but because of the number of restaurants on the island, we cannot routinely make revisits during the season. We encourage our readers to send in their own evaluations. In general, we find that most agree with our impressions and appreciate the reviews. When asked to review a particular restaurant not previously or recently visited, we do so whenever possible.

Special Prix Fixe This Fall
This fall we were particularly impressed by the special three or four course fixed price dinners which a number of restaurants have offered. We do not remember so many in past years and wonder if this may reflect the current economy. In any case, for those planning a fall trip to the island, these are marvelous opportunities and we urge patrons to look at our fall reviews (Le Languedoc and The Club Car). West Creek Cafe, a long time favorite of ours, has a nightly three course prix fixe dinner for $25; they are closed on Tuesdays. Centre Street Bistro has a 3 course dinner Wednesday for $24 and The Woodbox has a $34 special dinner on Thursdays; both were reviewed this year.

Christmas Stroll
Reservations are important for visits over this delightful and popular week-end, Dec. 5th-7th. Of the restaurants we have reviewed, the following will be open according to our information, but call ... now.
