On the water overlooking the boat docks. The food isn't too great BUT the atmosphere is fun. The wait for a table can get a little lengthy in the summer months, so best to be prepared.

Great bar too. Food is amazing comfort food. Meatloaf, burgers etc. and the BEST Mac n Cheese on the UWS! They love dogs, so you may get to pet a few pooches and ogle at the thousands of dog photos.
