Davis isn’t exactly new to the restaurant business; the family
legacy runs deep. There are several restaurateurs in his bloodline, most notably his grandparents, who started Gentleman Jim’s over 30 years ago in Summerside. “I’ve always loved food, that’s for sure,” he says. “Cooking it, not so much. As a child I pretty much grew up at Gentleman Jim’s. I was spoiled in a sense that I got to eat there pretty much any time I wanted and, as a teenager, I definitely took advantage! I will always remember the dinners I got to enjoy with my family in different restaurant settings, especially when my grandfather was around to enjoy with us. These are the types of memories I want to help create for others.”
The Sunset Room was made possible by the CBDC, which “assists in the creation of small businesses and in the expansion and modernization of existing businesses by providing financial and technical services to entrepreneurs.” “I would recommend CBDC because they have been excellent to work with,” says Davis. “Any questions I have had have been answered quickly and they have provided more services than a traditional lender would. With CBDC it feels like they are truly rooting for you which isn’t always how it feels when working with other lenders. It has been an enjoyable experience overall.”
And he does just that - with the help of the spectacular views.
“There truly isn’t any other location like ours in Summerside! The views are something you have to see for yourself, and who doesn’t love a new patio to explore on our beautiful Island?” he asks. Davis says the venue is something new for all Islanders to experience and cross off their bucket list. For those outside of Summerside who haven’t gotten to know the charming town, this is a great reason for any Islander to plan a visit. “Book a weekend in Summerside, check out our venue at sunset, take a stroll on the waterfront, stop and check out some local artisans, and since you’re here, plan a trip to Thunder Cove Beach where you’ll find the famous Teacup Rock, only a 25-minute drive away. We’re proud of our town and what we can add to it, and trust us, we won’t disappoint you.”
