I am starting this campaign to support my husband Mike and boost moral for all small business owners impacted this year. Owning this establishment for over a decade, I know how much love was poured into this place to make a staple steakhouse in NYC. The financial burden of this year and now another shut down due to a pandemic is something that has brought a tremendous amount of stress to our businesses. Opening up a second restaurant Fig & Vine only 5 weeks before a global pandemic was something we never saw coming. As business owners, you feel a responsibility and carry the burden of your hard working employees losing their jobs with little financial relief. Mike would never ask for help, so I am giving all those that have reached out and supported us an opportunity to continue to do so here. This campaign is a way many of our loyal customers can help us through this time. A thank you isn't even enough for all those who helped keep our spirits up by continually dining with us this entire time.
Every donation is not only showing support for the West Shore Inn but for the struggling hospitality industry. We can get through this together. Thank you for all the love and support through these times and we look forward to serving you again very soon. From the entire West Shore Inn and Fig & Vine family, we wish you a happy and healthy new year!
