The new Marketplace restaurant will now be open 7-days a week for lunch and dinner.
 
With a huge increase in visitors 2016 (up 17% over 2015), the Park is changing the style of restaurant service they offer to guests to accommodate the influx of new visitors.
 
"With more than 160,000 visitors expected this year the Park wanted  a better way to accommodate more guests and offer high quality food choices that are ready to serve." said Jamie Carr, Superintendent of the Park.  "Guests can now eat in or take out and have more time to spend visiting the natural and historical wonders of the Park and the island

The Marketplace style is similar to a cafeteria type restaurant with a choice of menu items that are freshly prepared and ready to serve. The restaurant will extend its hours and be open for lunch and dinner seven days a week.

The Fireside Restaurant opened to the public in 2014 in the extensively remodeled Adams Lodge, once owned by FDR's cousin Frederick Adams, a wealthy business man who  brought his family to Campobello Island in the summers.
