The patio has two sides.

The patio runs the length of the building above the water, and it has two sides. On the full-service side, a server takes care of your table: the full menu, parties of up to six, a mix of reservations and walk-ins.

On the bar-service side, you order at the bar window from the shorter patio menu and sit wherever you like, including four cushioned lounge settings that go first come, first served.

Seating and service

How the patio works

Choose a full-service table for lunch or dinner, or order from the bar window and settle into the lounge seating.

Full service

A server comes to you.

Tables seat up to six, with the full menu and traditional table service. We take a mix of reservations and walk-ins, so a short wait is possible on busy evenings.

Planning a visit

How to plan a patio visit.

If you want a table with a server, come to the full-service side: reservations and walk-ins both work, and parties top out at six.

If you are more than six, or you would rather keep it casual, use the bar-service side: order at the bar window, spread out, and take a lounge setting if one is open.
