Two years ago, we went to a restaurant which was kinda west (ish) of Leverick Bay and we forget the name. It's up on the hill a bit. Small place with great view on the North Sound. Will someone remind me of the name and more importantly, are they still open?

Thx, Slug

Hog Heaven. Open. Ask Leverick for taxi and confirm hours open.

I was sorry to see that it closed. I had some conversations with Tom a couple of years ago during the dinghy poker run and was planning to visit Blunder Bay on our upcoming July trip.

Not if you invest the entire $2 million in the restaurant.

And what some experienced restaurateurs might oversee, is that doing business in the USA is a very different proposition from trying to do the same in the BVI. The history of Gene's is one example that Mal described on this forum, but is typical of issues encountered if you aren't a Belonger.

Remember the Masons with the West End restaurant? It's an all-too-common story.
