Support Ketch Harbor Pub at Pillar Point Harbor

The Issue

Ketch Harbor Pub has been a beloved establishment at Pillar Point Harbor in San Mateo for years. Known for its exquisite seafood dishes and warm hospitality, it has become a favorite spot for both locals and tourists seeking a delightful dining experience. Recently, however, the owners of Ketch have faced significant personal challenges, including major health crises, that threaten their ability to maintain their cherished restaurant.

Ketch has made substantial improvements over the years, enhancing not just the restaurant itself but also contributing positively to the harbor community. Their commitment to quality and excellent service has been unwavering, despite their current struggles. Operating a restaurant is no easy feat, and the added pressure of personal health issues can make it even more daunting.

The San Mateo Harbor Commission has the power to ensure that Ketch can continue to thrive at Pillar Point Harbor. By working closely with the restaurant owners and providing necessary support, they can help secure Ketch’s place as a cherished community anchor. This assistance could come in various forms, such as facilitating lease renewals, offering financial guidance, or providing other forms of practical support.

Pillar Point Harbor is not just a location; it’s a community, and Ketch is an integral part of that. Losing this restaurant would not only be a blow to the owners who have dedicated their lives to its success, but also to the community that loves and supports it.

Let us urge the San Mateo Harbor Commission to step in and assist Ketch Restaurant in navigating these trying times. Your signature can make a difference in ensuring that this beloved establishment remains a part of our community for years to come. Please sign this petition and help us keep Ketch at Pillar Point Harbor.
