Menus
In 2012, the café underwent a revitalization with new ownership, breathing new life into the restaurant and menu. In 2019, the vision for the island’s finest seafood expanded as a sister location, IOP Raw, was opened right next door. Both restaurants were sold to longtime friends and loyal patrons in 2022. Though the menu has evolved through all the transitions, classic dishes remain, with a continued emphasis on fresh, local seafood. New items and regularly changing specials keep the offerings vibrant.
This modern version of an island favorite has thrived, supporting local producers while serving up a diverse menu of seafood, pasta, American cuisine, and desserts. Sharing a kitchen allows guests to enjoy both menus in either dining room.
