BY MAUREEN WERTHER<\/p>\n

Mitesh Patel, local businessman and owner
\nof several hotels in the Boston area, as well
\nas in Queensbury and South Glens Falls, purchased
\nRoosevelt Inn & Suites in May. As part of
\nthe changeover, two new, separate restaurants
\nopened on the premises, formerly home to El
\nMariachi III and the Silver Bullet Lounge.<\/p>\n

Rosemarie Coleman, owner and chef at one
\nof them: Orchid’s Caribbean Restaurant and
\nLounge, is in the space that was home to the
\nSilver Bullet Lounge.<\/p>\n

There are two restaurant buildings on the
\nRoosevelt property and 13 North will be in the
\none closest to Route 9.<\/p>\n

Orchid’s is now open. As for 13 North, owners
\nPatty and Larry Weaver are planning a soft
\nopening in mid-to-late September.<\/p>\n

Coleman has been cooking since she was a
\nyoung girl. Although it’s been 40 years since
\nshe moved here from Jamaica, she still vividly
\nrecalls her childhood there and the spicy aromas
\nof freshly caught fish being prepared and
\nroasted out of doors in her family’s backyard,
\nto the accompaniment of calypso and reggae
\nmusic supplied by her father and neighborhood
\nfriends like Bob Marley.<\/p>\n

Motivated by these childhood memories
\nand a talent for creating “Caribbean cuisine
\nwith a twist,” Coleman first opened Orchid’s in
\nRotterdam, later relocating to in Schenectady.
\nHer decision to make the move to Saratoga
\nSprings was influenced by the many loyal patrons
\nwho regularly traveled to Schenectady
\nfrom Saratoga and beyond just to enjoy her
\nfood, she said.<\/p>\n

Coleman said there’s nothing better than the
\nfeeling she gets from putting a smile on people’s
\nfaces when they taste her dishes. One of her
\nsignature dishes is lobster in the shell that,
\n“has to be tasted to be believed.”<\/p>\n

In addition to Caribbean entrees, drinks,
\nand desserts, she offers her own versions of
\nsouthern comfort food, including fried chicken,
\ncollard greens, and macaroni and cheese.
\nColeman also plans to have live bands that
\nwill be appearing regularly on Fridays and
\nSaturdays.<\/p>\n

The Weavers are also no strangers to the
\nrestaurant business. They have owned and
\noperated the D-Line Pub in Ballston Spa for
\nthe past three years.
\n“It’s been a lifelong dream of ours,” said
\nPatty, “to open a place of our own after we
\nretired.”
\nShe previously worked as a civilian offering
\nfinancial planning services to the U.S. troops;
\nwhile Larry retired holding the rank of lieutenant
\ncolonel.<\/p>\n

Because of the D-Line Pub’s growing popularity,
\nthe Weavers made the decision to move
\nto a bigger location and expand on their existing
\nmenu.<\/p>\n

Since El Mariachi III has been closed for
\nseveral years, renovations were necessary to
\nget the property up to current code standards
\nbefore opening.<\/p>\n

The owners of 13 North have a Facebook
\npage. Information is also available at 885-6861.
\nOrchid’s is open seven days a week, serving
\nbreakfast, lunch, and dinner.<\/p>\n
