Dystonia Margaritaville!

2011-04-12T09:39:00.000-07:00

Return to Margaritaville! A Fun, fundraising event!

What better way to celebrate weary winter survival than to break out in song and dance and chow down on cheeseburgers and munchies? It’s even better if you can raise much-needed funds to find a cure for dystonia, the third most common neurological disease after essential tremor (neurological shaking with no known cause) and Parkinson’s disease.

Paula Gates has dystonia, which is a debilitating neurological movement disorder. She, her family and her friends now know more about the disorder than they could have ever imagined and they are experiencing its effects first hand through Paula Gates.

The mission of the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation is to advance research, promote awareness and education and to support the needs and wellbeing of affected individuals and their families Gates said.

So from a personal perspective, raising significant amounts of money for the DMR foundation is an important part of her life. It’s what has been motivating Paula, her husband Don and their friends to continue running the Return to Margaritaville freedom to move dance that initially raised $27,000 and has totaled more than $100,000 in four years.

The evening offers more than just fun food in a relaxing atmosphere, there will be dancing and excitement generated by DJ Chris Culkeen and lots of interesting favors and colorful decorations. The wine table and the always-requested themed tables, five or six of them, will again be part of the evening. They will include a beer table, a bar table, a Margarita table and a travel table.

Watch for the 2012 Date!

Danversport's Resident Seal

2011-02-23T07:03:00.000-08:00

In the winter time it is not unusual for seals to bask themselves in the sun within our marina. Here are some photos that I took on Tuesday, February 22, 2011. We have affectionately named him Pauly, King of the Sea. Pauly spent the better part of the day getting some sun resting on the icepack between the docks. You can see the paths he made sliding along the ice. Upon my arrival on the dock Pauly looked up and checked me out for a few about 10 seconds and then went back to resting. I watched him for about 10 minutes and he wasn't the least bit interested or concerned about me being there. He was very calm and relaxed. We look forward to seeing him over the next few weeks and then he'll be heading out with the ice!

Also this month, we had our teddy bear fundraiser for Boston's Children's Hospital and local charities. Over 125 teddy bears were donated to the kids. We had a celebratory party for our teddy bear send off. Delicious foods and wines were served. Our favorite DJ Bethany Vaughn donated her services for this great occasion. A big thank you, to Lori Batchelder, one of our dining room managers who organizes this yearly event.

Many guests also took part in our holiday gift card promotion. Through the first week in December when you purchased a gift card, a complimentary gift voucher was issued.

New Wines, continued...

2010-09-08T08:10:00.001-07:00

Here is a few more wines that we're recently added to our new wine list. The fall is such a wonderful time to enjoy red wines. We hope you enjoy our wine selections.

Melini Chianti Borghi D'Elsa
Bright, ruby red. The bouquet is intense, fragrant with elegant scents of iris and raspberries and spices. The taste is dry, full and harmonious with an elegant aftertaste of toasted almonds and fruit.

Kendall Jackson Pinot Noir
Black cherry and raspberry fruit mingle with flavors of plum and spice from benchland vineyards along the Central Coast. Oak aging adds hints of vanilla, nuances of toast and a soft, smoky finish.

Lucky Star Pinot Noir
Ripe raspberry and cherry aromas balanced by a crisp yet silky finish. The wine pairs well with grilled chicken, Fusilli pasta tossed with extra virgin olive oil, fresh tomato and herbs. Very light and a easy drinking wine.

New Wine List

2010-09-01T11:35:00.000-07:00

Now a time to enjoy...

We are proud to announce our newly updated wine list. Here are just a few of the wines that we are proud to now feature.

SPASSO Pinot Grigio: This is a great representation of a good Veneto, Italian wine. It's a clean, crisp wine that pairs well with most dishes. With cherry and berry flavors, this Pinot Grigio is round, soft and has just a touch of oak.

Chateau St. Michelle Riesling: This newly released vintage is a blend of Riesling from throughout Washington’s Columbia Valley. Crafted to be a refreshing, off-dry Riesling delivering sweet lime and peach character with subtle mineral notes. This is a very popular summertime wine.

Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc: Bright fruit characters of pineapple and grapefruit combined with fresh tropical fruit sweetness. Excellent weight and balance, this wine lingers on the palate in a full, refreshing finish.

We look forward to having you join us for dinner and hope that you enjoy our new selection of wines.

Spring Time has Arrived!

2010-04-15T10:37:00.000-07:00

This morning as I was driving down the driveway. I stopped the car just to look at these beautiful flowering trees. I am no expert on trees, but I was told today that these trees are ornamental pear trees. Wouldn't it be a beautiful sight if they could stayed flowering for a long period of time?

Here is a picture I'm proud of! (pat myself on the back) The tulips are up and flowering. The "twisted birch" tree is beautiful. This is on the left side of the building. There is the trellace that leads to the tent area.

The fresh bark mulch has been put down and the flowering bushes are a welcome sign of spring.

The is the set of stairs that lead into the main foyer. Both sides of the stairs are lined with built in brick planter boxes that are stuffed with flowers. A welcome sight.

The flowering trees are just such an attention getter. With all of the March rains the lawns are certainly lush. Pretty soon all of the drought warning signs will be up in full force. :)

Here is the Danversport version of "Nantucket's Daffodil Festival ".

Lobby Transformation

2010-04-14T08:01:00.000-07:00

We are about 95% complete with our main lobby renovation. We hired a top team of local craftsman; from tile experts who laid down the marble and onyx floor. Lawton Welding did a fabulous job of creating these intricate railings. A local painter was here for weeks doing very detailed glazing and marbleizing techniques to our walls with custom murals. We are very pleased with the renovations. We hope you will be impressed and we welcome you to visit.

We are very pleased with the custom metal railings from Lawton Welding. There is much detail work and intricate designs.

The chandelier looks beautiful encompassed by the recessed sectionalized ceiling boxes. The designer choose a beautiful contrasting color.

This is the stairwell that leads up to the special events office and downstairs to the Grille & Bistro and the Ground level function rooms. Here you can see the "big picture" with the railing work with the beautiful brass railings.

Much pride was taken while installing this custom designed onyx and marble floor.

The entrance to our Grand Harborview Ballroom is impressive and definitely has that "wow" factor.

Hand painted murals and designs are featured in the stairwells that lead to the special events office. Pictured here is our waterfront gazebo, just perfect for a wedding ceremony.

Here is the exit, we will be sad to see you go; although our doors will always be open to welcome you.

P.S. Have you made reservations yet for our grand Mothers Day Brunch? Call us at 978-774-8622 to secure your reservation.

Easter Brunch

2010-04-07T10:08:00.000-07:00

A fabulous time was had on Easter Sunday! A sell out crowd was here!

The Easter bunny was spotted "hopping" through the Harborview Ballroom during Brunch. He stopped for photos while handing out chocolate Easter eggs (the good ones like Nestle crunch and Butterfingers). It could have been my eyes deceiving me, but I saw the adults taking a small handful of chocolates while the children were taking just one, very funny.

In recent years I can't remember a finer weather day for Easter. Guests were enjoying their mimosas while having brunch on our waterfront balcony. We take a lot of pride in our grounds keeping here. We had just finished putting down fresh mulch in all of the planting beds. (Thank you FalStone Landscaping). The assorted plants are popping through. What a wonderful time of year.

The chefs were serving carved prime Rib, Lamb, Honey Roasted Ham on our various carving stations. We were also serving our famous Seafood Newburg with scallops, haddock, shrimp & chunks of Lobster. This dish is always a crowd favorite. Chicken Picatta with fresh lemon and capers was also a very popular. A multitude of accompaniments were offered.

Also a multitude of breakfast items were offered including eggs Benedict, assorted crepes in addition to all the breakfast staples including freshly carved fruit and assorted juices.

A deluxe dessert station with overflowing chocolate fountain with strawberries, marsh mellows and Oreo cookies for dipping. Many cakes, chocolate mouse, homemade apple cobbler and mini-pastries were presented in Grand fashion.

Hint Hint Hint, Have you made your reservations for Mother's Day yet...?

Dredging Project!

2010-02-17T07:49:00.000-08:00

The barge pictured in front has multiple "bays" to hold the sediment that is dug up.

And you thought your office was tough....

The barge is pushed into place by the small red boat.

The digging continues.

Dredging is contiuning at least for a few more weeks. Here is a great link that gives an easy to understand overview of the dredging process & operations.

Winter is here! Snow Cleanup has begun. Here are some pictures after the weekend snowstorm. Danversport is such a hustling & bustling place in the summer, In the winter it is very peaceful and serene.

The docks have been replaced by sheets of ice! Pretty soon we will put out water circulation pumps to prevent ice from forming around the remaining docks. If ice does form it can potentially snap the docks like toothpicks as it has in the past.

Dredging operations have begun. Over time sediment fills in the river and it must be removed every 10 years or so. The Danvers river was done last year.

Our two mascots standing watch. We have just concluded our last big weekend of the year and tonight is our employee holiday party. Now it is time for us to get ready for New Years Eve!
