Beautiful view and delicious food! I'll definitely be back the next time I visit Chicago.

Magical café literally right next to Lake Michigan! Good variety of fresh tasty salads, sandwiches, rolls, refreshments, cocktails to enjoy on the lovely spacious outdoor patio. Service very friendly and efficient - they bring your orders out to your table. Cool live music on certain days/times. Relaxing, well kept park right next-door. Free and or meter parking can be found in nearby side streets. Love being able to enjoy this luscious escape with my dog.

The perfect place to watch the moon rise over the lake and spend long summer nights listening to live music.

We went to this place several times over the last summer. It was great every time. Food is delicious and high quality, drinks are delicious and served quickly. Price is a bit high but due to the location, which adds to the charm, it's understandable. We will be back this summer.

This adorable restaurant made me feel like I was dining at a quaint seaside restaurant on the east coast. There is only outdoor seating and it's on a first come first serve basis. You order at the counter and then they bring your order to you. There was some fun jazz music playing, and they often have live performers but we didn't go on a night they did. We ordered a bottle of wine and two starters - the queso and the corn salad. They had a couple other vegetarian options too, such as a tofu salad and a beyond sausage sandwich. I did not love the food. It was fine to have as a snack but was nothing great. Maybe the non-veggie food here, such as the lobster roll or burger, would be better? I would 100% come here again because the location is amazing, and there's no better spot to watch the sunset over the lake on a warm night. Atmosphere is a 5/5! Service was fast. The food was really lacking for me. I would come back for a glass of wine but I wouldn't eat here again.

Amazing views with kind and attentive employees. I ordered the sangria and the Vegan Italian sausage Sammy (I'm not Vegan or Vegetarian). The sangria was very tasty. Now the Sausage Sammy blew my mind how delicious it was. I actually like the sausage better than the meat version. I finished my meal with some French Macarons which were just as delicious as the ones I had in Paris a few months ago.

I didn't know what to expect. No reservations. Seat yourself, any open table. Order & pay inside and take a number to your table. They'll bring the order once it's ready. I love the beachy atmosphere! You sit under a canopy of trees and cafe lights, looking out onto beautiful Lake Michigan, clouds, sun, water. Just beautiful! Btw, there is no indoor seating; the only thing that's inside is the kitchen and bathrooms. Every order was flavorful and filling. The chicken salad had big chunks of chicken, walnuts, and cranberries. It was not swimming in mayonnaise. My two favorites were the Jerk Chicken Nachos and Blackened Cajun Shrimp Roll. There was plenty to share with the nachos. Just alittle heat added for a very tasty shareable dish. The Blackened Cajun Shrimp Roll also had some heat balanced out with a sweet lemon caper aiol. The New England grilled buttered bun is also an unsung hero of this sandwich. Mmmmm....so good! We also had ordered drinks: piña coladas, margaritas, and cold beers. Bottom line: this is a great outdoor place to pass an afternoon or evening. Very casual, low stress. The views are wonderful. I love the natural surroundings. It makes you think you're at the beach. Just go. You won't have white linen and stemmed goblets, but you'll love it all the same.

I had NO idea this place existed, but someone invited me here to grab dinner on a nice warm day (Memorial Day) and it was such a beautiful spot. I will say the ordering system was a bit interesting given than only one person could be inside to order at a time, and then they'd ring the bell one it was your turn. It's not that big inside, but still found it weird. Maybe they're still taking COVID precautions? I'm not sure. Anyways, we ordered the jerk beef nachos and I got a beer and my friend got a cocktail. Needless to say, there's quite a lot of seating here and the views are absolutely stunning. They have string lights and lots of trees for shade, and it's also a great people-watching spot since there's a playground next to it as well as a little path just before the rocks at the water. They started playing some music when it got a little later so I'm assuming when it gets dark they do that? I have to say the nachos were pretty standard and nothing really stood out about them. I'd prefer to come back again to try some of the other food items. I don't feel like this is really a place I'd generally go out of my way for to eat per se, but definitely to have a drink any enjoy the views on a warm day. Will certainly be back!

We had a nice family lunch here, 5 adults and 2 children. Just as others have said, this is a very nice choice for scenic, lakefront, outdoor dining. There is also a convenient cul de sac just 60 yards south of the ordering window where you can drop people off who are less ambulatory (or just don't feel like walking from wherever you park). We came in two different cars, and got in line somewhat separated, but it all came together nicely. We all sat at a large picnic bench. The wait was reasonable for getting the food because we came for a late Sunday lunch, just after 2:00 p.m. The workers were polite and professional. They have a system. We shared appetizers of pesto hummus and chicken nachos. I went with the blackened cajun shrimp roll, which came with a side of chips. Although the shrimp were just your typical baby shrimp you might toss on a salad, I still enjoyed it, mainly because the bun was tasty and fresh. The other orders included roasted corn salad, bagel dogs, a lobster roll, and chicken salads. The kids were happy enough with the bagel dogs, the corn salad and lobster rolls were reported as "not bad", but the chicken salad got two rave reviews. We all enjoyed the appetizers. The guitarist played some nice background music. In summary, it was a solid four stars. It's true that the food is pricey, but we were expecting that, thanks to other reviews. I'd like to add that there is a nice playground just next door. My grandsons enjoyed it, and I enjoyed watching them on a bench, while catching a nice lake breeze.
