Don't sit next to the planters because that's where the rats and cockroaches hang out. But seriously this is a great place to hang out!

Grab chairs and take them to the little pier - you'll feel like you are your own private deck :)

Did they used to grill the burgers over an open flame? Still, my favorite burger in the city.

Kind of pricey for no table service, but you pay for the view. I love the blueberry lemonade, skirt steak, and their family/kid-friendly vibes.

Good food, but overpriced. The view and dog friendly seating makes up for it.
