August is short. Let us make dinner the easy, memorable part of your trip.

We'll be closed this morning and will reopen at 3pm today! The last Dowdy Park 🌿🌸 summer market is today from 9am to 1pm.

Join us tonight and tomorrow night for Virginia Dare Night! ✨ This is a long-celebrated tradition of using real babies during the August 18th and August 19th performances to celebrate Virginia Dare's birthday. Being a “Virginia Dare Baby” is a coveted role in the community that many local citizens have had the opportunity of being a part of. For Virginia Dare Nights only, the prop baby swaddled in blankets, is replaced with these special guests.
