Ij ,., Harry Israel, The Red Pump owner, still has his wheels turning forrestaurant recently underwentt renovations for a new pub, room new ideas to make Bayfield a beautiful place to spend a summer dining apatio. (Wendy Somerville photo) New ideas vital to Red Pump's success By Wendy Somerville Twelve years ago Bayfield became home for an interior decorator with a taste of gourmet food and an idea to bring fine cuisine to a quiet village. The Red Pump restaurant became the ob- ject of Harry Israel's interests with its elegant rooms and complementing decor. Ever since, the Dutch immigrant has had a steady clientelle that is gradually growing every year. Recently the artistic entrepreneur added three rooms to his restaurant which in- cludes a larger room for small wedding par- ties or banquets. In front of the restaurant is a new pub where cheese, wine and pate can be served to those who are looking for a light snack and an after dinner snack. Also, visitors can drink and dine amongst flowers and trees on The Red Pump patio situated in the restaurant's garden. The new addition was completed at the end of April and diners are already taking advantage of the new pleasant atmosphere. Mr. Israel said his restaurant is definitely geared to intimate dining and not family gatherings. "We get people who spend as much as four of five hours over a meal," he said. "The restaurant is a place to spend an evening". The restaurateur attended the University of Amsterdam over 29 years ago and he uses many of the artistic talents he learned when he decides on his ideas for decorating today. "I pick up a lot of my articles and ideas at antique auctions," he noted. "Also, many of the paintings on the restaurant's walls can be purchased from the (Red Pump) gift shop". The gift shop was another brain storm for Mr. Israel and he is already thinking of moving the gift shop across the street to the building beside his restaurant. "I own the building next door and if the gifts were soap were perhaps those dining would drop in and browse," he explained. But behind every good restaurant owner are a number of talented employees. Ben Merrittt, once a chef for The Church Restaurant in Stratford and The Benmiller Inn in Benmiller, has been cooking at The Red Pump for two years.

The Red Pump gift shop employs four peo- ple during the , season. The shop and restaurant open at Easter and close on New Year's day. Mr. Israel is still not satisfied with his ac- complishments. Already buzzing around are ideas of opening an, ice cream parlor, a few specialty boutiques and a place where children can go for a meal and have fun. "I'd like to see a place where parents can leave their children in capable hands so they can shop and browse comfortably," explain- ed Mr. Israel. "If the place was a restaurant there could be tiny chairs and a few profes- sional babysitters to watch over things. The village definitely needs something for children". Coming up with new ideas is important for the artist. "I have to have a new idea every year, otherwise I go stale," he said. BAYFIELD RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION ANNUAL R•. .� .
