Let's see how many of you all will frequent such a place more often than once a year. Once the summer "swells" have retreated to wherever, it is the locals that must come out at least once every two weeks to make such a place work. Please vote!
I appreciate what you are saying, and have had this debate with others before. But I do believe that this region would support a restaurant like you have described. I would have to be top quality though. No posers. In different areas of NE, I have been to somewhat remote locations that boast very high end establishments, and do so with offseason issues as well. Primo in Rockland ME is an example. Rockland is dead in winter and spring. Even more so than here. But this place does well. I can name a few more. I think it would be great.
