Just saw your post,DM....guess I've been asleep at the wheel.Yes there is a lot going on at the Coe House .The new owners have completely redecorated and built an additional bar downstairs.It is really beautiful.They had a "soft opening" last sunday night.In other words they kind of snuck the doors open without any fanfare in order to give the staff some practice without being overwhelmed.We went there that night and it was wonderful....I know I'm prejudiced but our party had four seperate entree's and they were cooked perfectly and presented well.What did surprize me,though was the staff.John seems to have the knack of attracting really professional and qualified people.It was quite busy that night and they all acted as though they'd worked there for years.Service was outstanding.Probably not fair of me to do a review because they are also friends so I'll leave that to others,but I would say that it is less formal than when we ran it and they also have a pub menu,served in either of the two bars only.I haven't seen it yet,but understand you can actually get a burger,fish'n chips and other tavern fare.
I believe they are now open 7 nights
