On May 12 the Mattapoisett Select Board held a hearing at the request of Tracey White for licenses to operate a recently vacated restaurant located at 33 County Road. The Select Board questioned White about the number of occupants anticipated, if the footprint would change, hours of operation, and outdoor dining.
An abutter asked about the type of music that would be played, both live and recorded. Assurances were received that outdoor music would stop at about 8:00 pm and would be appropriate for family dining. Hours of operation are intended to be 11:00 am to 11:00 pm, seven days a week. However, one day a week the business will be closed, White said. Entertainment would be offered three or four nights per week.
The hearing notice read: All-alcohol License, common victualer license and entertainment licenses were being requested.
The board gave their approval, pending sign-off from the Fire Department and submittal by White of updated interiors that are currently being renovated.
White said he anticipates an August opening date. The meeting was adjourned promptly following the hearing.
The next meeting of the Mattapoisett Select Board is scheduled for Tuesday, May 26, after the May 19 Town Election.
