How about a visit to Black Point Inn for a cocktail party with general manager Phil Kronenthal? It’s happening today and every Monday from 4:30-5:30pm, rain or shine.  On sunny Mondays, you will find Phil outside by the BPI pool which is surrounded by lush greenery and comfortable seating. In inclement weather, your destination will be the  Sunporch with its white wicker furniture and spectacular view of the ocean and Ferry Beach. Whether you are poolside or on the Sunporch, you will have an opportunity to sample a variety of wines along with a delicious assortment of cheeses, beautifully displayed on a platter created by our pastry chef, Laura Rudy. It is an event which is sure to brighten your day and we look forward to seeing you there!

All of our oysters at Black Point Inn are opened to order by the sure hands of our fabulous kitchen team.  We mainly serve the famous Damariscota Oyster, sometimes we serve Glidden Points.  We are especially proud to carry oysters from the Nonsuch Oyster company, located just across the way.  We show these special, local oysters on Tuesday Nights during our weekly Live Jazz on the deck.

The Migis Hotel Group Chefs spent the day at the new state of the art Kinnealey Meats cutting facility in Boston.  Special thanks to Jim Kinnealey for setting up the tour with members of his family at his fantastic family run company.

We all loaded into one car, drove down this morning and spent the better part of the day learning about how and where our very high quality meats come from.  We all learned a tremendous amount about the meat that we serve and we were also able to spend some time on the floor with the folks that custom cut the meat that we serve at our restaurants and dining rooms.

Steak anyone?????

At Black Point Inn http://blackpointinn.com/blog/spring-at-black-point-inn/2010/04/07/ http://blackpointinn.com/blog/spring-at-black-point-inn/2010/04/07/#comments Wed, 07 Apr 2010 20:06:01 +0000 admin http://blackpointinn.com/blog/?p=387 Spring has come to Prouts Neck!  Right here at our own seaside resort the grass is greening, the forsythia is out, and the trees are budding!  The temperatures are coming around each day a little more, although -because we are after all an oceanfront hotel- the breezes off the ocean are still a little cool.

We are getting ready to open on Mother’s Day Weekend, (Friday May 7) and we will be posting a Mother’s Day package soon!

Also we are renovating the front entrance steps at the inn.  Look for progress on this project right here!
