Four Seasons Chinese Cuisine was granted a new license to serve alcoholic beverages. The establishment clarified that the license would be used to serve drinks with meals rather than setting up a separate bar. The owners, who also operate another restaurant in Baldwinville with a similar license, emphasized that the new license would enhance customer experience by offering the option of a drink with dinner. The commission unanimously approved the license, which will now proceed to the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission (ABCC) for final approval.

Additionally, the commission addressed a one-day license request by Home Fruit Wine for a vendor fair at the Polish American Club on February 8, 2025. The applicant, a small winery, intends to sell bottles of wine at the event. The commission approved the one-day license, noting that the wine would be for off-premises consumption.

The meeting also reviewed the status of existing licenses. Tata’s On To LLC was granted a common victualler license for a new location, pending receipt of necessary documentation. In contrast, the Gardner Deep Sea Club faced challenges due to unapproved construction work on their premises. The club had installed heat detectors without obtaining a building permit, delaying final inspections and approvals. The commission decided to extend the club’s operating license until the next meeting, with a warning that further delays could impact their license status.

In other matters, the meeting noted a change in personnel as one of the commission’s clerks announced her resignation. A new clerk, coincidentally also named Megan, is scheduled to begin soon.
