Our story
Three generations on the same shoreline
The Copper Loon opened in 1962 as a twelve-table dining room with a copper-top bar and a dock for guests who came by boat. The bar top is still here, the dock still fills up on summer nights, and the recipe for the fish batter hasn't changed.
“Come hungry, stay late, and say hi to the loons.”
