“We got short of two feet but fortunately we’re not as bad as some, but it’s going to take us a little bit to rebuild,” said Clear Sky Beachside Cafe Co-owner, Dan Shouvlin.
Management at Clear Sky Beachside Cafe looks ahead to possibly re-opening at the beginning of 2025.
From replacing floors and furniture inside, to rebuilding outside, there’s still a lot of work to do.
“Milton came, and we thought our patio had made it and Milton came and completely tore it up and mangled it,” said Shouvlin.
During the rebuild, the restaurant will also be updated.
“We’re going to polish up the walls and we’re gonna have new tables,” said Shouvlin, adding a new sound system is also going being installed.
