Lunch

The Lawn

Midday on the lawn — seafood at its finest, picnic plates to share, fried favorites and handhelds, served through the afternoon with the bay in view.

A front-row seat to Cascade Bay.

The Lawn is our open-air waterfront gathering space at Rosario Harbor—a place to linger beneath the umbrellas, share fresh seafood, open a bottle of Champagne, and take in the ever-changing landscape of the San Juan Islands.

Watch seaplanes arrive, boats pass through the harbor, wildlife move along the shoreline, and ferries cross the distant waters with the Cascade Mountains as a backdrop.

From morning coffee to long summer afternoons, The Lawn captures the effortless beauty of island life.
