Cafe Deck Dining Hacks!

May 3, 2024

We can’t wait for the warm, sunny season to arrive! To prepare for busy days on the Cafe deck here’s our hacks to make your experience easy, fun and memorable every time.

  • Arrive early
  • Be flexible
  • Be patient – we promise we’re working as fast as we can to seat you!
  • We can’t guarantee a spot on the deck but we’ll work hard to get you there!
  • We love talking to you but please don’t call ahead about holding a table – we truly can’t hold any spots!
  • Keep your phone handand stay close by – we’ll text when your table is ready but if we don’t see you at the host stand within 10 minutes we will have to give your table to the next guest.
  • The largest party we can accommodate on the deck is 6 adults. For larger group dining in the Cafe please check out our Fireside Room FAQ. To book please email [email protected].

Ray’s Cafe is located upstairs and opens daily at 11:30am. We look forward to seeing you soon and being a part of your summer plans!
