Halloween 2008
If you haven't been to the Ocean Grill on October 31st, you have missed a
HOWLING GOOD TIME!
 First Place
 Second Place
 Third Place
The entire front of the house staff dress in costumes on Halloween. Customers are given a ballot to vote for their favorite. Top prize earns $150 cash, second prize and third prizes are gift certificates to the Ocean Grill. The Angel took the money prize, with the Mummy and "Sitting in a Champagne Cocktail" close behind. As always, many of the customers came in costume as well. Halloween rivals New Year's Eve for reservations. Sorry, but we are already booked for the tables of five or more in 2008. Four or less can come in with a relatively short wait . . . and believe me, there's plenty to see while you wait.
Each year, like Charlie Brown, Chef Timm searches for the Great Pumpkin. The Great Pumpkin is placed in the lobby of the restaurant for a few weeks before Halloween. Customers try to guess the weight of the monster. The person clos est without going over wins a gift certificate for Dinner for Two. This year, the pumpkin weighed in at:
141 lb and 7 oz
Congratulations to Stephanie Casares who came closes without going over. Her guess: 140 lbs, 7 oz. Way to go!
Shots of Our Eerie Decor
Decorating for Halloween gets more elaborate each year with Mary Replogle at the helm. Waldo Sexton's vision lends itself to creating the haunted hallows in which you will dine. Stop by anytime after mid-month to see what we've schemed to creep you out.
C'mon in. I dare you.
Meeting a friend at the bar?
Up high in the Bucket Dining Room, ghouls abound.
The "head of the house" takes his place in a chandelier.
Look again. There's a ghoul in front of you.
Wish you could have seen the lobby. This shot doesn't do it justice.
Did you notice that I'm 12 feet tall? See you next year!
