Hog Island has been closed for a couple months now for an expansion.  They took over the space next door when it closed and renovated everything.  It’s now bigger, has an actual bar area, and has lots more seating.  We found it open this weekend and since it was their first weekend, they were still working out some kinks.  Luckily they still serve drinks while you wait but there was a little confusion about who to order from.

Once seated, we discovered a whole new menu with some favorites still on there.  We ordered a dozen kumamotos and clam chowder at first but they had run out of clams!!  Whaat!?  I was so disappointed.  So, we ordered a bunch of other stuff and they were all still very good.

Here’s what we ate:

Smoked Surgeon

Seafood Stew

Salad with pickled onions, fried shiitake, and soft-boiled egg

Mussels and fries

Yum.  We’ll just have to come back again for the chowder very soon.
