Fresh Catch by the Sea — May 20

Some evenings at Ha’Penny feel especially tied to the water and this is one of them.

We begin with Cracked Conch, crisp and tender, paired with a spicy mango aioli that brings just the right lift of sweetness and heat. It’s the kind of start that sets the tone for everything that follows.

For the main, a Grilled Miso Fresh Catch takes center stage, served alongside a light orzo salad, charred leeks, and a tahini parsley lemon sauce that feels both bright and grounding at once. It’s fresh, layered, and quietly memorable.

Dessert is a Lemon Raspberry Posset, silky, citrus-forward, and just sweet enough to leave you lingering a little longer at the table.

A few gentle reminders:

  • Please RSVP to Susie at ssheehanstx@gmail.com with your menu choice by Sunday at 9pm
  • Takeout is available if you’d prefer to enjoy Ha’Penny at home

Come settle in. This is what May evenings are made for.

Steak Night by the Sea — May 12

There’s something about a good steak dinner that feels just right at Ha’Penny. Maybe it’s the breeze coming off the water, maybe it’s the clink of glasses as the sun dips low, or maybe it’s simply the pleasure of sitting down to a beautifully prepared meal among friends.

This Tuesday, we’re leaning all the way in.

We begin with a bowl of Smokey Asparagus Soup, finished with a bright touch of lemon oil, light, elegant, and just enough to wake up the palate. From there, the main event arrives: a Grilled Dijon Herb Crusted Filet Mignon, paired with rich Smoked Gouda Potato Au Gratin and shaved Brussels sprouts, all brought together with a silky tarragon béarnaise. It’s the kind of plate that invites you to slow down and savor.

And then, because we must, Carrot Cake with brown butter cream cheese buttercream. Comforting, a little indulgent, and absolutely worth it.

If steak isn’t calling your name this week, Chef has you covered. A Pan Seared Chicken Breast with jasmine rice, haricot vert, and a balsamic glaze is available as a substitute, simple, balanced, and just as thoughtfully prepared.

A few gentle reminders:

  • Please RSVP to Susie at ssheehanstx@gmail.com with your menu choice by Sunday at 9pm
  • Takeout is available if you’d prefer to enjoy Ha’Penny at home

Settle in, bring a friend, and let the evening unfold. Steak Night is always a favorite and for good reason.

Mother’s Day Brunch — May 10 at 11:30am

There are some days that ask you to slow down, linger a little longer, and gather close and Mother’s Day at Ha’Penny is one of them.

Join us at 11:30am as we set the table for a beautiful, easygoing brunch filled with all the things that make the day feel special. Think Lobster Eggs Benedict; rich, indulgent, and worthy of the occasion alongside Scrambled Eggs and a hearty Breakfast Hash for those who love a classic start.

From the chilled brightness of Shrimp Cocktail to the comfort of Bacon and Chicken Maple Sausage, the table will be full and inviting. There’s Avocado Toast for a fresh, simple bite, and a Sliced Fruit Platter to keep things light and colorful.

And then, of course, the sweet side, Cinnamon Rolls, Chocolate Pudding, and all the little moments in between that turn a meal into a memory.

Whether you’re celebrating a mother, remembering one, or simply honoring the women who’ve shaped your world, this is a day to be together.

Cinco de Mayo at Ha’Penny — May 5

A little color, a little spice, and a whole lot of flavor, Cinco de Mayo arrives at Ha’Penny with all the warmth and ease of a coastal evening well spent.

We’ll begin with a Picadillo Empanada, filled with seasoned beef and cheese, golden, savory, and just the right start to the night.

For the main, Chicken Enchiladas take center stage, served with Mexican rice, pico de gallo, guacamole, and sour cream. It’s a vibrant, satisfying plate, layered, festive, and meant to be enjoyed slowly, with good company and a second sip close by.

And then, Tres Leches for dessert, light, sweet, and indulgent in all the right ways. A classic finish that never disappoints.

A few gentle reminders:

  • Please RSVP to Susie at ssheehanstx@gmail.com with your menu choice by Sunday at 9pm
  • Takeout is available if you’d prefer to enjoy the evening at home

Come join us for a night that’s a little livelier, a little more flavorful, and still unmistakably Ha’Penny.

May at Ha’Penny — Settling Into the Summer Season

May has a way of easing us into summer here at Ha’Penny. The light lingers a little longer, the breeze softens, and the rhythm of the Club finds its stride again, easy, social, and just a touch celebratory.

We’ve put together a month of gatherings that feel true to the season, good food, familiar faces, and a few reasons to linger just a little longer.

We begin on May 5 with a festive Cinco de Mayo Dinner, full of color and flavor, the kind of evening that brings a little energy back to the table.

On May 10, we slow things down for Mother’s Day Brunch at 11:30am, a relaxed morning to gather, celebrate, and enjoy a beautiful spread by the sea.

Then it’s back to one of our favorites on May 12, Steak Night. Classic, satisfying, and always a good time.

As the month unfolds, we lean into the coastal side of things with Fresh Catch Dinner on May 19, bright, seasonal, and perfectly suited to this time of year.

And we close out the month on May 26 with a Casual Deck Dinner, simple, relaxed, and meant for easy conversation as the sun dips low.

Beyond the table, May is also about settling back into the social rhythm of the Club. For the summer season, if you have an interest in Bridge or Mexican Train, we’d love to have you join in, feel free to reach out to Herb Land or Francie Whittenburg.

And as always, summer memberships are still available. If someone comes to mind, bring them along as your guest, we’re always happy to welcome new faces into the fold.

Reservations for all dinners can be made directly with Susie.

Here’s to a month of good meals, easy company, and the quiet magic of Ha’Penny.

Kabob Night on the Deck: April 29

This is what the deck was made for.

On April 29th, we’re firing up the grill for a night that’s all about smoky, sweet, and straight-off-the-flame flavor. It starts light with a chilled carrot gazpacho finished with basil oil, then moves into grilled honey glazed chicken kabobs and steak with onions, simple, satisfying, and just right for an evening outside.

On the side, whipped garlic mashed potatoes and roasted corn (because you can’t not), and a chocolate banana bread pudding to close things out, warm, rich, and worth saving room for.

Not in the mood for kebabs? A roasted chicken breast with jasmine rice, roasted Brussels, and orange butter sauce will be available as well.

Bring a friend, find your spot, and let the grill do the rest.

As always, please RSVP with Susie so we can plan accordingly.

Good food, open air, and a table that always makes room.

Italian Night on the Deck: April 20

Some nights are about leaning back a little and letting dinner be easy.

On April 20th, we’re heading to the deck for a casual Italian night, good food, familiar flavors, and the kind of meal that feels like it’s meant to be shared.

We’ll start with crispy, cheesy arancini with marinara (always a good idea), then move into a rich short rib bolognese over hand-cut pasta, finished with shaved parmesan and grilled garlic bread. And yes, tiramisu to close, because there’s really no other way to end a night like this.

Chef Ralph took a look at the recent survey and, let’s just say… this one might feel familiar in the best way. You asked, he’s cooking.

Not in a pasta mood? There will also be a roasted chicken breast with jasmine rice, roasted Brussels, and orange butter sauce available.

Come as you are, bring a friend, and settle in.

As always, please RSVP with Susie so we can set the table.

Good food, open air, and a table that always makes room.

Fresh Catch Night: Straight from Sea to Table

This is one of those dinners that feels like St. Croix on a plate.

On April 14th, we’re leaning into the kind of meal that doesn’t need much fuss, just good ingredients, handled well. It starts with crab puffs (because why not start strong), then moves into a roasted tomato basil fresh catch with lemon jasmine rice and grilled zucchini; bright, clean, and exactly what you want after a long day.

Dessert brings it home with a soursop panna cotta, cool, silky, and just a little unexpected.

Not in a fish mood? We’ve got you. Chef Ralph is offering a roasted chicken breast with jasmine rice, roasted Brussels, and orange butter sauce, rich, balanced, and absolutely not a second choice.

This is an easy night to say yes to. Bring a friend, pull a table together, and let dinner take care of itself.

Just be sure to RSVP with Susie so we know you’re coming.

Summer at Ha’Penny
