PORT TOWNSEND — Posh will give way to casual on Point Hudson, made clear by renovations now under way that will turn the landmark T’s Restaurant into Doc’s Marina Grill Port Townsend. The work began April 21 in preparation for a projected opening mid-June. “We’re getting to know Port Townsend,” said owner Tom Aydelotte of Bainbridge Island. “And we’ve gotten a very warm reception so far.” The restaurant’s opening depends on permit acquisition and the renovation schedule. Aydelotte (pronounced “ate-a-lot”) was one of two bidders for the space, edging out Kris Nelson, who owns Siren’s Pub and the Galatea Cafe in Port Townsend, where she also is a City Council member.

Starting with same menu
He has owned and operated Doc’s Marina Grill in Bainbridge Island for nine years, and expects the new restaurant to be similar — at least at first. “We’ll start with the same menu, which is casual, comfortable food, and then adjust it to learn what the customers want in Port Townsend,” Aydelotte said. “I also look forward to getting access to some of the great produce that is locally grown in Jefferson County.” Once he has lined up these sources, Aydelotte may serve some of that produce in the Bainbridge location.
