The Place Restaurant is a truly unusual restaurant where visitors dine outdoors while a crackling wood fire roasts savory clams, smoky lobsters, sweet corn and much more. Instead of chairs, tree stumps encircle bright red tables, decorated with a bottle of freshly cut flowers. One large menu towers over the dining area, allowing all to see their options as smiling waitstaff come to take their order. Cash only. ATMs nearby. Seasonal: Last weekend in April through October. October is weekends only. Weather permitting. Times may vary throughout season. Please call for details.
