At the Loft we believe that food has a story. As a farm-to-table restaurant, we take that literally and serve our dairy and vegetables right off our farm. We follow our food from the gardens and pastures to the plate, sourcing the best in organic and sustainable fare.
Farm to table style restaurant that sources ingredients from local farms including their own focusing on organic and sustainable products. There is a beautiful ambience across the entire property from the beach to the garden. My family loves stopping in for lunch, brunch, dinner or just for some ice cream from their dairy bar! Fantastic property overall!
