The autumn season has quietly descended upon Windsor and Essex County, bringing with it cool, refreshing nights. This presents the perfect opportunity to savour a delightful dinner and drinks on an outdoor patio. We highly recommend visiting three charming outdoor patios before the temperatures drop too low!

Nestled in East Windsor, this hidden gem boasts a breathtaking view of Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River. The menu is a seafood lover’s paradise, with a wide range of delectable options at reasonable prices. Indulge in their tempting daily specials, like the irresistible $2 oyster deal available every Sunday. If seafood isn’t your preference, fear not – Harbour House has an array of alternative choices to satisfy your cravings.

Guests at Oxley can enjoy outdoor seating well into October, with the cozy ambiance complemented by a crackling fireplace. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit on Sunday afternoons for live music.
