Pro Tips

  1. 1.Request an outdoor table by the railing for the best boat watching views, which keeps young children entertained throughout your visit.
  2. 2.Visit during off-peak hours (mid-afternoon around 3-4pm) to avoid lunch and dinner crowds and have better table availability.
  3. 3.Bring a phrasebook or translation app, as staff may have limited English, though they are typically patient and welcoming with international families.
  4. 4.The ice cream selection is a huge hit with kids. Let them point to flavors if language is a barrier.
  5. 5.Combine your visit with a harbor walk before or after to let kids burn energy and explore the waterfront promenade.
