Dinner & Drinks @ The Studio in Rocky Neck, Massachusetts

Eric & I return to The Studio

Restaurant to make more

 memories.

This former Fish Warehouse was built in the late 1800s.  Its wharf was extended and the business changed to Fish Glue manufacturing.  Artist Hugh Henry Brackenridge took over the building in 1920 and opened an art school where he taught for twenty years.  In 1949 the building was purchased and The Studio opened.  

The open rafters above the
bar show The Studio's
history as a warehouse.

The Piano is the heart of The

The Studio's entertainment.

Seating on the outdoor deck

Eric & me with our drinks...

My German Saint M Riesling is fruity.  Eric's John Daly, made with Deep Eddy Lemon Vodka & a splash of Iced Tea is to his liking.

I am fascinated by the play of light on the ever changing water.

Our dinner is Flash-Fried Edamame

tossed in Sesame Seeds & Sweet

Ginger Sauce with Whole Belly,

Clams, & French Fries.

Eric and I are delighted with this meal.  The Edamame is sweet and tangy.  The Whole Belly Clam are lightly fried and oh, so tender.  The French Fries are prepared perfectly and seasoned with course salt.  The Coleslaw has a light vinegar dressing.





We watch the sky change
as our dinner comes to
an end.






I imagine artists sitting with their easels, dockside, capturing the scene.

Eric and I talked about the changes we've seen in Rocky Neck and The Studio over the past forty years.

This anniversary trip is relaxing, as we are covering "old ground" and appreciating Cape Ann's beauty and culture.
