After 10 years in business, Captain Mas Seafood & Crab House — a staple of the local seafood scene — has closed its doors — at least for now.
The restaurant, which is part of the Cascades Marketplace center, actually shut down on December 31. On social media, the owners thanked the community for its support.
“Finally the “D” day has come. After 10 years of hard work, dedication and financial burden, we have to close the restaurant in this location due to the fact that we have sold the building,” they wrote. “We want to thank all of our wonderful guests and employees for supporting us over these past years.”
But this may not be the end. The Captain Mas team indicated on social media that they are in search of a new location for the Captain Mas brand. Indeed, the Google listing for the restaurant says it is only “temporarily closed.”
Regular readers know that Cascades Marketplace is in a season of flux. Many of its longtime tenants have moved out, leaving a large number of vacant spaces.
Meanwhile, new management is working on a re-envisioning of the center that would remove some of the current retail space and replace it with residential units.
We are told the Captain Mas building is slated to be torn down to make way for said units.
