"The Atlantic inn is a evening that you don't want to pass up!"

In August of 1997, The Atlantic Inn had the honor and privilege of hosting President William Jefferson Clinton and the First Family and friends for dinner, while they enjoyed a short day-trip to the island. The Atlantic offers TAPAS and cocktail service every evening on our wrap-around veranda and sweeping lawn.

Watch the sun set as you enjoy a glass of wine sitting on the comfy white wicker or in an Adirondack chair on the lawn, play croquet with friends while waiting for your server to return with your favorite summer drinks.  Each season the Chef's and staff create specially designed menus to complement specific vineyards, geographic regions, importers or specialty brewers.
