It's a 30th anniversary celebration for the Sole Proprietor, 118 Highland St., Worcester, and owners Robb and Madeleine Ahlquist.

Tuesday, as a thank-you to customers, the owners will roll back to the restaurant's 1979 menu prices.

On that day, 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., the Sole Proprietor will offer its original menu with entrée items to include broiled swordfish, rainbow trout, crab legs, baked stuffed haddock and fried clams. Prices will range from $5.96 to $9.95 and will include a cup of seafood chowder, baker's rolls, choice of fresh salad or coleslaw and choice of mashed potatoes, french fries or mushroom rice.

Appetizers, $2.95 to $3.95, will include clams casino, oysters Rockefeller and steamed mussels. The Sole Proprietor is the oldest of the three restaurants owned by the Ahlquists under their operating company, Worcester Restaurant Group. It serves more than 350,000 meals a year to the lunch and dinner crowd.

The Ahlquists opened 111 Chop House in Worcester in 1999 and VIA Italian Table in Worcester in 2008.

No reservations at the Sole Proprietor on Jan. 12. It's a special day, after all.

The place will be hopping! I hope I make it into the parking lot, never mind the restaurant.

Join me in wishing the crew at the Sole a very happy anniversary.
