Property Description

Here's a rare chance to bring one of Vinalhaven's most treasured waterfront properties back to life. Located in the center of town and perched directly over Carver's Harbor Pond, this is one of the few true waterfront dining opportunities on the island. Built in 1900, this historic building has long served as a gathering place for islanders and visitors alike. From 2017 to 2021, the previous owners thoughtfully renovated the space, transforming it from a beloved casual family eatery into a new concept with table service, locally inspired cuisine, craft cocktails, and live music. The revitalized restaurant was embraced by the community and praised by a Portland Press Herald food critic as the ''best renovation of 2019.'' Large picture windows in the back dining room offer beautiful water views, and the full bar adds to the inviting atmosphere. Although the restaurant has not been in active operation since 2021, the space remains well-maintained and full of potential ready for new ownership to carry the vision forward and bring fresh energy back to Main Street. With seating for 95 (75 inside and 20+ on the outdoor patio), plus a side-porch service window for ice cream or takeout. Above the restaurant is a fully winterized, 700+ sq ft studio apartment with radiant floor heat, Bosch appliances, white oak flooring, a gas fireplace, and sweeping pond views — perfect for an owner-operator or staff housing. The restaurant is being sold fully furnished and equipped for service, making this a turn key operation for a buyer looking to open a restaurant. Whether you're looking to bring back a beloved local spot or launch a new concept, this historic and beautifully located property offers unmatched potential — and a chance to reignite Main Street with food, music, and community once again.
