Open from Memorial Day to Labor Day, this place is the best! Lunch, dinner or drinks with a view. Great food, affordable, and right off the bike path. If you plan it right, you may see the Mad City Ski Team doing their stuff on the lake.

Drinks & Nightlife
We love walking down for a fancy cocktail. They've got a beautiful interior and lots of outdoor seating for those balmy summer nights. They have a good dinner menu, and you can't beat the commute!
