NEW HOLE IN THE WALL PATIO
During past trips to New York and Paris, we enjoyed (and took photos of) outdoor patios that were not just great for outside dinning—they were also very attractive and additive to the city’s vibrant street scene. Thanks to Salty Dog successfully fighting for on-street patios, we decided an outdoor patio would be a great addition to the Hole in the Wall. It would also help activate Richmond Street during Open Air. The new HIW patio will be a great addition to downtown and motivate even more residents and visitors to come and enjoy Amherstburg.
Construction of the patio was complete before our new furniture arrived, so we won’t be at full scale service for a bit. Go to theholeinthewall.ca to stay current on our outdoor plans and our delicious summer fare from Chef Taressa.
