Welcome to Speculations By the Sea, where the musings are free but the laughs cost extra. For the last three years I have found a home working at the Bistro By the Sea, in Matunuck RI. It has been said in the Providence Journal that, “Backstage at Theatre By The Sea’s restaurant kitchen, there’s high drama to be found every night, a dependable 90 minutes of fiery action, random moments of impending disaster, and a multi-layered love story electrifying the room.” Though a bit exaggerated I find every night at the bistro has stories to be shared and philosophies to be formed. Whether I am hosting or serving, my co workers who I could consider family help weave the story of an entertaining adventure, relatable to all food service workers, or comedy seekers.

An Ode to Ladies Night


After the dry spell that was Little Shop of Horrors it was a refreshing change of pace for the restaurant to be filled with anyone last Thursday. Though this was not an ordinary night, the restaurant was overflowing with ladies! Don’t get me wrong, Theatre by the Sea has never been the best place to pick up guys, but the pickins’ have never been this slim! Maybe it’s Taavon’s golden Speedo, or chubby naked guy; whatever it is though is like the pied piper.

Though The Full Monty seems to attract all of the women, it is apparent that they cannot handle it sober. Bring on the ladies and their froufy girlies drinks! Michaela has fondly named these occasions as tipsy ladies nights. Raspberry mojitos? Apple-tini’s? yes mamm! Cha-ching, cha-ching!

These women hold nothing back, one table asked how attractive the men in the show are, and if they would see a true full Monty. Other discussions heard throughout the restaurant have been “does Taavon stuff his g-string?”, “It does look quite large, maybe it’s the sparkles”

Pro’s and Con’s of the estrogen Invasion-

Con’s:

1. TMI (too much information): “I would like a vodka, water, and a splash of cranberry; I can’t have soda water because it makes me gassy”.

2. TMN (too much nipple): Wearing a dress is not an excuse to forgo the bra.

3. TMP (too much perfume): Just because you lost your ability to smell 5 years ago, doesn’t mean that we have too. Also, baby powder is not a proper perfume substitute.

4. NET (not enough tip): Hey, is been proven, men are much more generous with tipping.

Pro’s:

1. Lot’s of tables

2. Big bills

3. No skeevy advances from creepy old men

All in all, it seems to even out at the end of the night. Lets be honest, I wasn’t going to find McDreamy here anyways so bring it on, out with the men and in with the women… keep ‘em coming!
