Bostwick’s on the Harbor on Gann Road in Springs is excited to announce a welcome addition to the kitchen: Harbor Bistro’s chef/owner Damien O’Donnell. Many in the local community were saddened to hear that the lease at Harbor Bistro was not renewed, which meant the end of an era. However, Bostwick’s owners Chris Eggert and Kevin Boles are thrilled to add O’Donnell to the culinary team for the 2022 season! Think of it as “the perfect seafood union,” where two seafood masters in the kitchen will be churning out even more delicious dishes. Celebrating their 30th year in business, Bostwick’s kicked off the season on May 5 with an epic sunset, delicious cocktails and seafood-inspired fare. Sample menu items include “Harbor Bistro” calamari, tuna tostada, Korean BBQ duck burrito and hibachi-style salmon.
