As the weather warms up, it’s time to turn your dining experience up a notch by taking advantage of outdoor seating. Nothing’s better than enjoying some fantastic food while sitting outside in beautiful weather with family and friends. At Chapter One, we offer outdoor dining in Guilford that allows you to take in the sites of the Guilford green while enjoying tasty food and drinks.
If you’re planning a visit, we have some menu ideas that you’ll want to see on your outdoor dining table as you enjoy all that Chapter One and scenic Guilford offers.
Enjoying Outdoor Dining at Chapter One
When the sun is shining and there is a lovely spring breeze, it’s only natural to want to find a patio table and enjoy some outdoor dining. In Chapter One Food & Drink, we understand this, and that is why we have plenty of tables and chairs to accommodate the spring and summer weather.
While you’re taking in the beautiful scenes on the Guilford green and exploring the Chapter One menu, you’ll find plenty of fresh dishes and tasty drinks to tempt your pallet.
One must-try appetizer is the Ciabatta Bruschetta. Nothing says spring like house-roasted tomatoes and goat cheese on toasted ciabatta bread with pesto. This dish is drizzled with balsamic reduction for the perfect touch!
If you’re a salad lover, you want to try the Caprese Salad. Vine-ripened tomato and fresh mozzarella are drizzled with balsamic glaze and house-infused garlic olive oil. Sprinkled with fresh basil over arugula, this makes a new choice for your spring outdoor dining experience.
During the warm months, seafood is always a favorite. Our Yellowfin Tuna Poke Bowl is a must-try. This dish combines sesame seed encrusted sushi-grade tuna with cucumbers, sliced avocado, shredded carrots, and edamame served over house rice and topped with wasabi and sweet soy. Fresh and delicious, this is an excellent choice as warmer weather sets in.
Another good seafood choice is the Salmon Piccata. We pan-roast our salmon and serve it over mashed potatoes with sauteed spinach. It’s garnished with lemon caper butter, making for a beautiful dinner choice.
Cocktails and Beverages for Outdoor Dining
Chapter One Food & Drink has you covered, whether enjoying a cocktail with a meal or just meeting friends for drinks. You can still enjoy our outdoor seating while savoring one of our seasonal or signature cocktails.
The peach margarita is a favorite with silver tequila, fresh house-made peach puree, lime juice, and agave. It’s served with a Himalayan Sea salt rim to top it off.
Our Whitfield Blackberry and Tonic is another good choice if you prefer a different cocktail flavor. We use Broker’s London Dry Gin and St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur with muddled blackberries for the perfect flavor combination.
Another cocktail favorite is the Whitfield Fizz. This drink combines cucumber vodka, muddled mint, St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, and fresh lemon juice. It’s topped with organic Prosecco.
