While decorating for the holidays this week, we wondered how the year had passed by so quickly. 2017 brought many tears and hard conversations, but there was also much joy and celebration, and in the end, hope.
In 2017, annual traditions—Lamb & Rose, TheNormandy Dinner—and new events—Eat Your Heart Out, The Vine Dinner—kept us busy and our hearts and bellies full. From Honolulu to South Carolina, our cooking adventures introduced us to so many new friends. In Tulum, we paused to connect with members of our team. In Italy, we gathered inspiration. All of these events and travels reminded us how important it is to be together and break bread.
And 2018 shows no signs of slowing, with many more exciting ventures on the horizon (it's true, and you are the first to know). We have plenty of love to share, and we hope that you will continue to visit your favorite Sea Creatures haunts!

If you happen to come by Bar Melusine, Bateau or The Whale Wins during the next several weeks, you may notice a giving tree for Youthcare’s Casa de los Amigos.
How it works: pick an ‘ornament’ gift, bring back item wrapped, place it under our tree with tag attached and create a special holiday memory.
Youthcare’s Casa de los Amigos is a shelter level program for youth aged 12-17 primarily from Central America and Mexico. While waiting to be reunited with family, Youthcare provides healthcare, educational programs and encourages participation in community outings and events for these young immigrants.
