Wine, dine, cocktails

Dinner on the hillside from Thursday to Sunday, brunch on Sunday, and a bar that takes its cocktails seriously. Booking ahead is a good idea.

Open Thursday to Sunday

The bistro

The bistro completes the hillside. A short card, plates meant for sharing or not, and a few things worth a proper dinner out: a ribeye, mahi mahi, a lobster bisque to start.

It is run by the same family as the apartments and the lunchroom, so if you are staying with us, dinner is a short walk home.

What to expect

How an evening goes
