Good spots for drinks. Crab roll is excellent. Rest of food is ok. Can order drinks from table on QR code. But food needs to be ordered inside. Line inside takes too long because they make the drinks from those orders before getting next customer. Be better if drinks brought to table like QR ordering or allow food on QR.

The space is beautiful, drinks and food a little over priced. Music is live which is a plus

Lobster roll was fresh and fantastic. Utensils and plates were also eco-friendly.

I loved this place so much. It was my favorite part of my trip. We went in the evening while a live band was playing during sunset. Such an awesome vibe. The Jerk Nachos were awesome. Loved it!

The location is right on Lake Michigan. This is our third time here. We got lunch. There is not a great selection but what we got was good.

Food is mainly salads, rolls and sandwiches. They are very tasty. They serve alcohol and the view is beautiful.

Delicous food and next to the water! Service was great although pricey, was worth it. $140 for 4 people. It was my husband's birthday spent with daughter so was a nice time .

One of Chicago's best kept secrets. If you are anywhere nearby and have one to infinity hours to gaze across the lake, do it! Plus live music.

All about the location! Food is tasty but smaller portions than you'd expect. Lines can be long so it's best to get here early. Luckily you can order more drinks to your table with a QR code. Only open during the summer season - a great place to hangout in the trees with lake views.
