Dear Friends,
It is with mixed emotions, profound sadness and much difficulty that I must announce that our time at Fins has come to an end. During the past seven years we have experienced so many wonderful things; friendships, engagements, marriages, anniversaries, births and deaths.
My vision was to offer excellent food and service, and provide an intimate venue for local musicians. Through the hard work of my son Ben and the dedication a wonderful staff, this vision became a reality. I have been truly blessed having had such a wonderful staff; both in the front of the house and in the kitchen, to whom I owe a huge debt of gratitude and I offer my heartfelt thanks.
They say that the Lord works in mysterious ways. Well, Fins has been wonderfully mysterious. Certainly things did not go according to “my” plan, but I don’t for a minute regret my decision to embark upon this adventure. It has been a privilege to share a tiny part of the lives of so many wonderful people. We’ve laughed and cried. We’ve argued and pondered. We’ve kept secrets and we’ve shared secrets. We’ve hugged and we’ve kissed. We became a family.
And so; to my family, my staff, my vendors and my customers, I thank you for allowing me to experience my dream.
Until we meet again,
Eric A. Anderson
