BOSTON SUNDAY GLOBE

TRAVEL: An understated inn, with attention to details great and small

WELLFLEET- ... The newest place to eat on Main Street is Winslow's Tavern. ("Established 2005" says the gilded sign outside.) Wellfleet regulars will remember it as the home of Aesop's Tables, a high-end dining establishment. It's now run by chef Phillip Hunt and his wife, Tracey Barry-Hunt, a member of the Barry family that owns the wildly popular seafood place Moby Dick's.
They've knocked down some walls to open up the dining room, and painted it a pale yellow. A recent visit, on a June Sunday eve, found every seat full. The menu, according to Hunt, is "simple bistro stuff.” Entrees run $8 for a burger and fries to $21 for a garlic and-butter-grilled lobster with sweet corn relish.

JOURNEYS: Scene Shifts on the Cape by Joshua Kurlantzick
Friday, July 1,2005

… At Winslow's Tavern, in the heart of Wel1f1eet's small town center, the new owners have remade a fading, overpriced restaurant into a classy modern bistro.
"'There's a new ownership of restaurants on the Outer Cape," Mr. Pinhas said. "People coming in from outside the cape are bringing in a contemporary look, more fusion food - and we're getting attention, so everyone is moving in this direction."

Winslow's Tavern celebrates a Pilgrim in the family

Emily Sussman BANNER CORRESPONDENT

            It should have just been a regular car trip, but when Pat Barry first hit Cape Cod with her husband and young children in 1967, she was immediately drawn to the area by some inexplicable force. "I fell in love with it just looking out the car window," she recalls. After renting a summer cottage for a few years, the Barrys bought a house on Chequessett Bluff Road in Wellfleet. By 1982, they had even opened a restaurant here - Moby Dick's on Route 6.
            While Barry knew that a powerful force had drawn her to Cape Cod, it would take her more than three decades to discover why she felt such close ties to the place. As it turned out, blood is thicker than water - or perhaps seawater, in this case.
            Barry just recently learned that she's a direct descendant of Edward Winslow, who first anchored in Province town as a pilgrim on the-Mayflower's maiden voyage. "It was a crazy coincidence," Barry says, referring to the fact that Winslow and his crew landed only l3 miles from her current Wellfleet home.
            Fast-forward nearly 400 years. The Barrys are expanding their Wellfleet eatery business with the purchase of a new restaurant. The new name for the stately white colonial on Main Street - formerly known as Aesop's Tables - is obvious. As a tribute to Pat's famous ancestor, the Barry family named the restaurant Winslow's Tavern.
            Though her daughter Tracey Barry-Hunt, one of the restaurant's managers, admits to being "very surprised" by her mother's family tree, she says "I had a feeling" about her lineage because of her grandmother's name Winslow.
            Eager to share her ancestral history with the future patrons of the restaurant, Pat Barry plans to hang an original rubbing of a Pilgrim commemorative bronze prominently in front. She also knows that the carefully preserved building, first constructed in 1865 as a sea captain's house, is an attraction in itself. Though the site has been a restaurant for the last 40 years, it was once the home of former Massachusetts Gov. Channing Cox, who hosted President Calvin Coolidge for a night back in the 1920s.
            As for the current structural renovations to the building, the new tenants don't intend to rewrite history. "We've brought the building up to code, but we haven't compromised its integrity," says Barry-Hunt. "We think we've struck a good balance"
With the summer season fast approaching, the Barrys appreciate that time is of the essence. As seasoned restaurant pros that have been running Moby Dick's for more than 20 years, the family knows better than anyone about the importance of warm-weather business, and they're in a hurry to finish renovations. (Winslow's Tavern is slated to open next month, and will feature a lunch and dinner menu of classic New England and American dishes.)
            Despite their time crunch, however, the mood at the restaurant-in-progress site is far from frantic. A cheerful camaraderie is present among the Barry clan who scurry around the building, hanging shutters, taking measurements and holding al fresco meetings with suppliers on the front stoop.
            Pat's genealogy aside, Winslow's Tavern clearly has been a labor of love for the entire Barry family. Pat, her husband Dick, and their sons Todd and Scott are the partners in the restaurant, while Barry-Hunt and her husband, Phillip Hunt, will act as managers. Paul Krikorian, an experienced local chef, will assume the cooking duties for Winslow's, and even the crew from Moby Dick's has been helping with the renovations.
"It's been so satisfying to bring this building back to life, since everyone has a great appreciation of the history involved," Barry says, motioning to family members and friends rushing by, carrying clipboards and two-by-fours.
A trowel readily in-hand, Barry's in charge of landscaping, and she's been digging and I planting up a storm around the property. "I've got a beautiful garden at home, but I think I just have to let it go this year," she I says, sighing good-naturedly. "There really isn't enough time to do everything." And suddenly she's back to work, happily knee-deep-in the garden.
