The unique model includes four different restaurant concepts nestled within one 7,000-square foot, beach side location, including a bright and fun ice cream shop (with all ice creams made in-house) called Small Batch; a casual market counter serving breakfast and lunch, called King Beach; a back-room whisky bar called Grain; and a more high-end dining space dedicated to seasonal seafood fare, called Dockside. Inspired by the city's "country marts," the four separate, yet cohesive dining experiences provide a taste for everyone.

Burn off some calories with a short (but steep) hike up this staircase and enjoy the beautiful view from the top! Especially great after a rain, it’s a nice view all the way to downtown. If you don’t want to do the stairs, there is also a onemile hiking path. Free parking on Jefferson, or $6 at the top of the hill near the visitor center.
