So I'd heard on the grapevine a few weeks ago that there was change in the air with one of my favorite restaurants on the Island, East. And today folks, I can officially confirm that Tim & Rebbeca Tittbits are moving on to new pastures. According to The Bahamas Weekly – Tim and Rebecca Tibbitts, the creative force behind the popular East Restaurant announced today that they will be moving on from managing the upscale restaurant to pursue new restaurant opportunities.
Increased competition and diversity in the local dining market in Freeport should be welcomed, according to the restaurateurs. “Restaurants come and go," says Tim Tibbitts, "but when there are more choices around the restaurant owners become more serious. Everyone tries harder to make a better product and this gives our customers confidence and drives revenues up. That success has also allowed us to attract and train the great staff that we have.”
"We are very excited about some of the new opportunities we have already seen in potential restaurant locations,” said Rebecca Tibbitts. “We had thought about taking a short break after two years of building and then running East, but we think the timing is just right now to bring a new dining experience to the island.”
Tim's Current status on his Facebook profile reads "Tim Tibbitts is moving on....thanks for all the well wishes. Please continue to support our great staff at East. They've worked hard for it."
Tim & Rebbeca, we wish you all the luck & can't wait to see what's next in you future.
