Scott has been a chef for the last 18 years and has worked at various restaurants in New York City that have earned a Michelin star. Some of these places include Jean-Georges flagship restaurant on Columbus circle and Charlie Palmer's Aureole. His most recent position was as executive chef at Sutton Inn, where he was awarded two Michelin recommendations, a four-star rating from the Daily News, and was named one of Manhattan's top 10 American restaurants by OpenTable for five years in a row. In 1971, we constructed the first version of this home on property that belonged to the family... I have been a permanent resident of this area ever since that time. In 1989, we completely refurbished the home and expanded on to it in order to turn it into a seven-room inn that is light, clean, and spacious. The structure has always had an expansive covered wrap-around porch on the east and north sides. This porch, combined with the other common spaces and lawns, provides sufficient room for visitors to enjoy an evening of unhurried activity. As a result of our location at the very western tip of the island, we are privy to some of the most breathtaking scenery, panoramas, beach breezes, and sunsets in all of Martha's Vineyard.

Our family cordially invites you to dine with us and partake in the pleasure we have to offer. Encore was founded in 2016 with the goal of helping our family, friends, and guests feel at ease.

Our venue's combination of superb food and a lovely setting will have your guests talking about the event for years to come!

Danversport, which is owned and maintained by the DeLorenzo family, began as a dream more than 50 years ago when Joseph DeLorenzo envisioned a particular spot for the community to celebrate life's significant occasions. He and his wife Barbara eventually bought this lovely piece of property and began construction on a "big band" type dance hall and marina. The Danversport Yacht Club first opened its doors in 1970, and it rapidly became a popular spot for supper, dancing, and live music. Danversport has thrived and evolved throughout the years to accommodate weddings and special events of all sizes. We're now in the third generation of the DeLorenzo family, and we're just as committed to giving exceptional experiences in a spectacular environment as Joseph was. We're also enthusiastic about the actions we're doing to better our business and assist our community by utilizing solar renewable energy, recycling, and vegetable gardening. Above all, we're honored to continue assisting you in celebrating and making amazing memories. We hope you have a great day in Danversport! Thank you very much for your business.
