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.

A few gentle reminders:

  • Please RSVP to Susie at ssheehanstx@gmail.com with your menu choice by Thursday at 9pm
  • Takeout is available if you’d prefer to celebrate from home

Come settle in, we’ll have everything ready.


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

Summer at Ha’Penny is easy, social, and full of great meals.

From April 28 through July 28, we settle into a rhythm of Tuesday suppers, holiday brunches, and a few favorite evenings along the way; barbecue, Cinco de Mayo, Steak Night, and Fresh Catch. It’s relaxed, familiar, and just the right kind of lively.

Summer Membership is $150 for individuals and $250 for couples, and once you’re signed up, you can begin booking dinners right away, no waiting, just ease into the season as it comes.

Speaking Up for the Road to Ha’Penny

There are some things we all simply understand as part of coming to Ha’Penny, the beauty of the bay, the familiar faces, the feeling of arriving at a place that feels a little removed from the rest of the world.

And then there’s the road.

We’re asking members to join us in a digital letter-writing campaign to DPNR/DPW to help bring attention to the condition of the road leading to the club. If you’ve driven it, you already know the stretch we mean, especially that left turn by the beach heading toward Ha’Penny. It’s the part everyone talks about, and it’s the part that truly needs attention.

Our hope is simple: if enough of us take a few minutes to submit individual requests, it may help move this issue further up the list.

The online form allows you to submit a complaint directly and even attach photos, so if you have images that show the condition of the road, please include them. The more clearly the issue is documented, the better.

You can submit your request here:
https://stcroixrequest.portal.iworq.net/portalhome/stcroixrequest

Please be sure to fill out all required fields before submitting. You can also return later and check the status of your request using the “Find a Request” option on the site.

It often takes persistence to create movement, and this is one of those moments where every voice helps. All ah we can make it happen if we stay persistent.


Chef Showcase — An Evening Worth Dressing For

Some dinners feel a little more special and this is one of them.

On April 7th, Chef Ralph steps forward with a showcase menu that’s layered, thoughtful, and full of bright, unexpected moments. From lobster toast with citrus and chili oil to a local catch crudo touched with passion fruit and coconut, each course builds with intention.

There’s depth here too, creamy chicken and wild rice soup with truffle mushrooms, a striking cauliflower trio salad, and a beautifully prepared parmesan-crusted petit filet served with yucca frites and beurre rouge.

And just when you think it couldn’t go further, dessert arrives, a matcha ube éclair that feels like a final, playful note.

This is a dinner to enjoy from start to finish.

$75 per person

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


Easter Brunch, the Ha’Penny Way

Easter Sunday feels better by the sea and even better around a good table.

On April 5th, we’re bringing together a brunch that’s bright, generous, and just the right mix of relaxed and special. Lemon poppy seed pancakes, bagels and lox, a savory asparagus and goat cheese quiche, and a classic leg of lamb lead the way, with fresh fruit, berry parfaits, and banana cake rounding things out.

It’s the kind of spread that invites you to settle in, catch up with friends, and maybe go back for “just one more” of something.

Guests are always welcome, so bring your people and make a morning of it.

Just be sure to RSVP with Susie so we can have everything ready for you.
