I have also heard that Coe House will close for good. Also heard on good authority that Mike Love (formerly of Love's Quay in W'Boro, which is now 51 Mill Street) will open a new restaurant in CH in 2006. Don't know if that means he is going to purchase building that houses Coe House or what.

Samiam, what's the scoop????

We went there last Saturday and I have to say had a disappointing meal!

My fish was as tough as leather and my hubby's prime rib was overcooked. The friends we were with didn't fare much better. This is difficult for me to write because in the past 5 years I have NEVER had a bad meal there. Our waiter informed us that last weekend was it for the Coe House and that it would not be open for the winter season. I asked him if it would re-open again next spring and he wasn't able to give me an answer. He said their chef had left to go to another place. I don't know who the replaced him with but it was certainly NOT up to par for the Coe House. Sadest Regards, KonaChick

I posted a link to an article in May about the new chef Jason Charbono. Are posters confused about the chef Jason replaced or has Jason now left? From what I understand the chef that Jason replaced left because the Coe House was going to close for the winter & he wanted to be full time.

Now it is unclear if that is what posters are talking about or have things changed.

Propeller -- my comments had nothing to do with your post. As Donnamatrix obviously heard too -- I was informed that the Coe House was Closing (as in out of Biz) post Labor day. Restuants usually keep that as a closely held secret until "fait acompli" -- now that we are post Labor Day I was curious if anyone could validate what I was told by Woodshed employees. Didn't mean to confuse everyone

Our waiter just said the chef left..I don't know when or where or if he is talking about the current chef or the previous one..moot point I guess because it is closed at least through the spring.

From what i heard there will be a new place built for Mike, he is not going to take over the Coe House. Not sure what type of place, although it will be up 25 a little more.

Just got back from Maine,DM,and saw your post. Chef Jason left early to take a winter job at a college and I decided to close early instead of going through September.I wasn't happy with the quality of food this year and will try and recruit someone good for the spring.We still plan on operating as a seasonal restaurant.Don't worry,not going out of biz...just don't want to operate in the off season.

Darn it! We could have had ForumFest II at the Coe House?
SAMIAM could have given tours to raise money for the cause.

This is a local treasure with such rich history. Your website is very well done SAMIAM.

Thanks for the kind words Rattlesnake Gal......we had a ball restoring it.Wish we could spend a little more time in the kitchen.

Oh no, where will my family have Thanksgiving! After years of preparing dinner for everyone we started a tradition of inviting the family to the Coe House for the holiday and it was so relaxing - great food with a special atmosphere. Now we will have to begin a search for a restaurant to meet the same expectations - any ideas?
