Our Spaces
full venue
Classic East Coast design fuses with a modern West Coast composition to create an eclectic, mismatched collection of artifacts that feel cozy and welcoming.
the moonlight deck
Aiming to transport guests to the rambling beaches of Cape Cod, the Moonlight Deck features ramshackle sand fencing, elegant striped umbrellas, potted palms, original art by Johnny Lane, and twinkling string lights.

Art deco elements matched with vestiges reminiscent of grandma’s home in East Hampton shine under the playful beaded chandeliers.
Our Menu
Our dinner menu includes a mix of raw bar classics, fresh seafood and steak, and full-flavored roasted vegetables. Our handmade pizzas and pastas are topped with veggies and herbs handpicked at the farmer’s market this morning. Charmingly nostalgic desserts round out the menu, with offerings like strawberry angel food cake and butterscotch budino. Don’t worry; we’ve got something for the kids, too. The spirits program is bright and playful, emphasizing citrus and floral notes that complement the dinner menu.
If your party requires something a bit more...particular, we can’t wait to create a custom menu to meet your needs.
