Came for air and water show for bottomless drinks and food and did not know what to expect. Great service, ample seating, and a good bbq spread. Also the best rooftop views for all of the air and water show action but with shade and restrooms.

$125 for 30 minutes for jet skis. They don’t answer the phone. So we had to go there and only then find out that they were sold out. The place up the street is $40 cheaper and has better service. But this place is pretty convenient, hence the price.

Bree was amazing and so accommodating. Made great recommendations on foods and drinks and let me get pita bread instead of chips because I have braces. You can tell the servers have fun working here and it's just a good vibe overlooking the beach.

What a great spot! If you want the best summer ambience and friendly staff, you HAVE to try this out. We arrived at 11:15am and there were plenty of tables. It’s perfect for people watching and lake gazing.

Super cute rooftop overlooking north avenue shore. Food was great and very quite the heavy serving. We had a great lunch before a big day exploring the city!

Was good and enjoyable. I had a taste for BLT but a turkey wrap was closest to what they had. I HATE Ranch dressing and asked if could skip the Ranch; however that's how it came so I had to opt for a burger. I live burgers and have them so much, that I really wanted something else today, but that's about all that I liked on menu since a salad doesn't fill me up and I really don't like chicken nor fish. Our server was very cheerful and checked on us often.

Excellent place to stop for a break and a drink while exploring the city. The views of the river and skyline are spectacular and the staff is friendly. Feels like you are at a beach resort in the Caribbean.

One of my newest favorite places in Chicago! The view is gorgeous, makes you feel like you’re on a beach, on the ocean, in Florida and not on the lake in Chicago haha. The drinks are good, the wraps are excellent. The kiddos get a kick out of the building’s fun shape too. Definitely recommend for out of town guests!
