South Coast Bar & Grill is the successor of Reef Point Bar & Restaurant, which was founded by mother and son, Ventris and Charles Powell in December 1978.

Ventris’ love of cooking and magical touch with ingredients and Charles love for fishing was the perfect recipe for a coastal restaurant.

Long before they entered the restaurant business Ventris was already lending her cooking talents to The Lighthouse Club and Decker’s Restaurant in Georgetown. Meanwhile, Charles was employed with the government as a fireman and devoted much of his spare time to fishing. His extensive knowledge of the waters from East End to Bodden Town and his great fisherman’s luck led to an abundance of local fish.
