This Massachusetts Puerto Rican Restaurant Serves Huge Plates Of Old-School Island Comfort Food

Scituate restaurant Mill Wharf is closing temporarily this Saturday

A longtime staple in Scituate Harbor will close its doors for the winter at the end of business on Saturday to undergo some improvements. The Mill Wharf will close temporarily at the end of business on Nov. 14 to accommodate renovations and a refresh. "For years, The Mill Wharf has been a place where our Scituate community and visitors have gathered to share great food, beautiful views, and memorable moments," the owners wrote in a Facebook post. "As we look toward the future, it’s time to give our beloved restaurant the care and attention it needs." In addition to renovating the space, the post said the restaurant will undergo a "brand refresh" as well. After nearly 40 years at the helm, Bob Warner sold the Mill Wharf in 2022 to father-son team of Doug Traina and Dan Groom-Traina. Warner's family purchased the property where the restaurant stands in 1981, and the restaurant opened Aug. 1, 1984. The restaurant plans to reopen in the spring of 2027. The Mill Wharf is located at 23 Mill Wharf Plaza in Scituate. Food, dining and grocery reporter Jessica Trufant can be reached at jtrufant@patriotledger.com.
