Such a fun spot! It was tons of food options! It is right on the water so hanging out there is comfortable. There are tons of places to sit and a bar with tons of beer on tap, wine, and a cocktail menu so something for all. Also places to shop in little boutiques and has music playing.
This place is very nice to sit and enjoy the view, very interesting in terms of varied food options, and even has attractions (bowling and an aquarium) nearby. The price is quite touristy and reasonably high, but for a snack I think it's worth it. There are public restrooms and several parking lots nearby.
Definitely a Vibe! Easy to find parking. They have lots of seating to sit, relax, enjoy a meal, take in the views and watch the sunset! Beautiful lights and decorations all around! Highly recommend for a date night🙂
