The Atlantic Inn

The Atlantic Inn is a classy place and I do not recommend bringing children inside. But they have nice chairs on the lawn out front and waitresses will come and serve you drinks. They also offer a very good tapas menu. It is a great spot for happy hour and everyone will be happy. There is a tiny replica of the old Victorian inn that serves as a playhouse. And best of all the adjacent hotel, The Hotel Manisses has an exotic animal farm that borders The Atlantic’s property. Kids can keep busy petting camels, emus and llamas while the adults sip their cocktails. What could be better? The only hitch…it’s expensive, but very worth it! Telephone: (800) 224-7422

Getting There: From the ferry parking lot in Old Harbor turn left on Water St. At the statue of Rebecca enter the circle and turn right on Spring St. The Atlantic is up the hill on the left. Look for the sign as it is set back from the road.
