The restaurant initially began as a wholesale distributor for the island‚s hotels and restaurants. A Cooked take-away service was added; along with a friendly free beer while you wait. Shortly after that the health inspector demanded we go the whole way or ‚wholesale only‚. This was around 1998.

So long time friend, and fellow musician with the local VSOP Jazz band ‚Stu Jenkins‚, became the resident artist (designer) and we named the up coming restaurant ‚LOBSTER ALIVE and all that Jazz‚.
