Just in time for summer, we have installed beautiful shade sails over a large portion of our deck to make your outdoor dining experience more comfortable. These highly functional sails not only look impressive, but they actually reduce surface temperatures by over 10 degrees by blocking the suns rays and allowing air convection to pass through the breathable fabric. We now have over 100 seats in the shade during lunch so on the next sunny day head to Vin de Set for a delicious rooftop lunch with a friend, co-worker or business associate. - more info
