Smooth Sailing

Kimberley and Matt Hayward, owners of Mount Brew Co and Hide Thirst & Hunger have been busy
of late, tasking exec chef Perrin Yates to refresh both menus. Now they’ve opened Sailor Galley & Rum Bar, their most upscale offering, with a menu inspired by an adventurous sailor who’s collected dishes on their travels. We’re talking a superyacht sailor, not a peg-legged pirate, so the plush interior is
all dark teal leather, oiled cedar walls and brass details. Fine wines and Caribbean-inspired rum cocktails (Jamaican daiquiri, pictured) accompany a menu featuring, XO clams, burnt butter
crumpet with blue swimmer crab, and venison backstrap with smoked beets, plus a sour lemon tart.
