After 26 years since opening the Blue Oar it is with a heavy heart and careful consideration we've decided to close . There are many reasons for making this decision, most are out of our control. We would like to thank our amazing and loyal customers , friends and employees. For those that don't already know we also own ( for the past 18 yrs ) Simon's Marketplace in Chester . Please come by and visit us in Chester and and our seasonal outdoor cafe at Ballek's Garden Center in East Haddam ( opening again soon).
With much appreciation,
Jim and Jody
