Sativa Verte: Dog friendly place to stop for a bite; don't forget to get ur pooch a hot dog! Also u eat lobster roll meal yum yum!
Jeremy Davis: Burger, hot dog, Old Bay fries, Chicken Caesar salad... All good choices. Avoid the beet & goat cheese salad. Get a pitcher of sangria or you're doing it wrong.
Trudy Gonzalez: Hot dog and fries were yummy. Great view of the sunset. Have eaten here several times and the food is good... I like the atmosphere and food here ... So much better than the boat basin...
