Fittingly, the restaurant is located on the water. More specifically, it’s situated in the Lake Elizabeth marina literally a few feet away from the shore.

The restaurant’s owner has spent a great deal of time in Florida, so when decorating and furnishing the restaurant, he aimed to recreate the informal, laid-back culture of the area.
