The Cookery which burned down last year is scheduled to reopen tomorrow. I took this picture yesterday and although it doesn’t look quite done from the outside I checked out their blog and the inside not only looks really cool but it is completely finished.
The "New" Cookery Restaurant and Wine Bar
Not only does the restaurant have a new look there are also a few changes inside. The Skare family has incorporated a wine bar at the top of the restaurant to enjoy a glass of wine and look out over the bay… say before the theatre or after shopping. The wine bar will offer light dining and desserts and will also be open for coffee and baked goods on weekends. There are a few menu changes too… they will no longer be offering daily breakfast but will add a Saturday and Sunday brunch with their usual favorites along with some new twists like crab cakes… it sounds delicious. The menu seems to be a bit more upscale than their previous menu but in a good way. They will still offer their original standbys of whitefish chowder, cherry pie and daily specials. We here at Egg Harbor Lodge wish the entire Skare family and the Cookery a great season. I for one can’t wait to check it out.
