ORDER TO GO

IISummer Rental

- - Open Wednesdays & Sundays only, The Dabney Summer Rental outdoor dining pop-up inspired by the coastal cuisine of the Mid-Atlantic and New England. Casual by design, Summer Rental takes place outside in historic Blagden Alley. Summer Rental aims to be a laid back, fun, and a more informal experience than the traditional Dabney evening. With a thoughtful and safe approach, guests can expect a self service, snack bar that limits contact between guests and staff. Summer Rental is a place to kick-back, relax, and enjoy the foods of summer.

Wednesday, August 5th & Sunday, August 9th
A 10% Service Fee added to the final order. Menu subject to change.
