In case you missed it: Shelburne Steakhouse & Saloon, in the former Sirloin Saloon building on Route 7, opened July 6. By its second night, the restaurant was feeding 130 people. On Friday, when Radio Flyer played a gig in the saloon portion of the restaurant, 450 dined on steak, seafood and, perhaps, smiles. For our original report, check out Seven Days’ staff blog, Blurt.
