“The Outermost Inn feels a bit like dining at the edge of the world,
with sweeping ocean views and the Gay Head Light blinking just beyond your table.
The menu is hyper-seasonal, spotlighting what’s freshest that day—
whether that’s just-harvested lettuces or scallops that taste like they were pulled from the sea an hour ago.”

RESERVATIONS
Connecting in person is important to us. We take reservations over the phone only. We begin taking reservations around May 1st for the upcoming Summer season. Our office staff will call the morning before the reservation date to confirm seating time, and the number of people in the party, and help with any logistics, transportation or handicap access for example.
The Outermost has two seating areas for dinner, the patio and the dinning room. In the summer months, we rarely book the dining room as the outside patio is the most desirable place to sit. That way, in the event of inclement weather, the dining room is available to accommodate all of our dinner guests.
We take reservations from 5pm – 8:30 pm on the 15 minute incriminate, dinner service is about 2 hours long.
Couple of our reservation related policies:
We do not accommodate children under the age of 10
If we are unable to contact you to confirm your reservation in person by noon the day of your reservation we reserve the right to re book the reservation.
We will charge a $40/person cancellation fee for no shows, reservations that are canceled after 12:00pm the day of the reservation, or if you show up to dinner with a significantly smaller # in your party than you made the reservation for.
Large Parties: Parties over 10 need a little additional time at the table and may incur an additional fee per person. We are happy to accomodate large parties, the more the merrier, these just need a little additional planning.
Please call us at 508-645-3511
We can give you any information you might need and get a contemporary look at the reservations book.

LAWN & FIREPITS
The Lawn and fire pit are primarily for our reserved dinner guests who we invite to the Outermost property early to enjoy raw bar and a cock/mocktail before their reserved dinner time.
Weather permitting, we have opened limited seating at our raw bar, lawn and fire pit to guests who do not have dinner reservations on a first come first serve basis. The lawn opens for raw bar service at 5:00 and closes at 8:30. We offer a cocktail list and a by the glass wine list, bottles on request.
COCKTAIL S & WINE
Currently, we serve beer, wine, cordials and zero proofs. With the addition of cordials to our license we are able to serve inspired cordial based cocktails, yes, with the duck.
LIQUOR LICENSE
This is a bit of a complicated one. Traditionally Aquinnah ( Gay Head) was a dry town and we ran our restaurant was a BYOB, bring your own booze program for years. Around 2008 we approached the town to allow beer and wine sales, they approved. With the ability to get licensed to serve beer and wine, we were no longer able to accommodate BYOB.
A few years after that we requested to add cordials to the list and we were granted the opportunity to serve cordials as well. What are cordials? A cordial is a liquor with added sugar, flavors and often but not always a lower proof.
With the growing popularity of non alcoholic beverages, our bar staff has curated a thoughtful list of zero proof options that we are super proud of.
LUNCH & BRUNCH
Typically, In the off season, we start a fire in the fire place and open the doors for lunch and brunch!
This season, we have a few construction projects that we need to get done that keep us from being able to open. We are bummed not to be here for lunch and brunch this season, but look forward to showing off the work we have been doing all winter.
PRIVATE EVENTS
The Outermost Inn is the perfect place to host your private event, we can accommodate from small intimate events up to parties of 250. We treat every event individually, working with the party to provide what they need. Please call for details. 508 645 3511.
MOVIE NIGHTS
Summer of 2024, while talking with our friend John, we hatched a plan to show movies on the big screen in our event field. Fast forward from one slightly margarita fueled conversion, to mid August…people were lining up for our first Movie Night. 2024 Movie Nights were wildly successful, we continued in 2025 with a few tweaks, and we plan on continuing in the 2026 season.
2024 and 2025 were made possible with the help of The Boston Beer Company and Sam Adams, we hope to get their support again in the 2026 season. We are also looking to engage new sponsorship.
Check back for 2026 movie dates and what we will be showing.
Tickets will be sold on Eventbrite 1 week in advance of the movie date.
Ticket prices are YTD, and have included parking, picnic dinner and drinks. This may change a little for the 2026 season.
Please keep checking back for updates on 2026 Movie Nights and check our Instagram
FAQs
Are You Still Operating as a Bed & Breakfast?
No, we paused that program in 2018 due to a construction project on the property and never picked it up again after COVID19. We now house our kitchen staff in the rooms upstairs as the housing market for summer employees has, like in many seasonal destinations, taken a catastrophic hit. (insert IHF link. What link is this?)
What is the connection to James Taylor?
Hugh and Jeanne Taylor who established, still own and still very much participate in the daily workings of the place are James’ brother and sister in law. Although he pops in occasionally, you will not see him swooning by the fire pit. sorry.
How Do We Get To You?
There are a few options for transportation, VTA (insert link), local taxis, Uber and Lyft. If you decide to get an Uber, Lyft or taxi, we recommend confirming that that will be back to pick you up aprox 2 hours from your reservation time. On call transportation is next to impossible from our place.
Are Kids Welcome at Your Place?
We love kids, but for dinner, we ask that you leave them home if they are under 12. Our prefixed menu is not geared towards kids and we do not offer any kids menu.
Can I bring my own Beer, Wine or Alcohol?
No, Our Liquor License does not allow you to bring your own Beer Wine or Alcohol.
