You don’t have to travel far from home to feel like you’re on vacation. The Beacon offers a delicious two-course meal you can enjoy while sitting inside or outside.

4. The Maidstone

If you want to make an entire weekend out of your visit, you might consider booking a room at the hotel and browsing through the art galleries. However, you can also plan a visit to enjoy a meal in their Americana-style restaurant. The menu at The Maidstone changes depending on the season, but what remains constant are the fresh ingredients and high standards within each dish they cook. The dining room is an excellent place to relax and enjoy a meal, regardless of whether you dine inside near one of the three fireplaces or prefer a seat in the sunroom closer to the garden. The bar is open seven days a week, but if you want to enjoy dinner, you’ll need to plan a visit between Wednesday and Sunday.

5. Rita Cantina

Rita Cantina puts its twist on Mexican food while only using ingredients from Gardiner Bay and the nearby area. The bar program is run by Adam Miller, who is committed to pairing each dish with an agave-inspired drink for the best possible culinary experience. Guests begin their meal with a fresh seafood appetizer, such as oysters or fluke ceviche. The main course follows, offering prime sirloin carne asada or Oaxaca fried chicken. The featured dish is the Rita clambake for two, which includes two pounds of lobster and littleneck clams and mussels. Rita Cantina opens at 4 p.m. each day and stays open until at least 10 p.m. The restaurant continues serving until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and the bar remains open late each evening.
