Blue Sky

In the heart of York Beach, on the Short Sands, a renaissance has begun. The restoration of the historic Atlantic House Hotel includes the addition of a restaurant, Blue Sky on York Beach and Clara's Cupcake Café…a bakery. Don Rivers, of Rivers by the Sea, and his team began the renovations in November of 2006.

Blue Sky on York Beach fills the second floor with a warm and welcoming design and a spectacular menu executed by internationally recognized chef, Lydia Shire. Lydia is legendary for her creativity, vision and signature cuisine.

The cozy dining room was inspired by a print she found dominated by a sky of blue like none other than the sky of York Beach . Beautiful wood finishes, cream banquettes, and a wood burning fireplace are just a few of the touches. In warmer seasons, the porch opens to the breezes that roll in from the ocean and down Main Street.

You are invited to sit at the food bar that surrounds the wood burning oven and watch as your meal is crafted. We welcome you to the dining room for a simple meal or a celebration. Classic cocktails in our tradition and local beer brews are served at Bar Vivi. Come watch a game or relax in a cozy corner banquette.
