Fisherman’s Wharf takes advantage of its location on the lake by offering its patrons boat slips for them to park. How cool is that pulling up to a restaurant in your boat?

Along with the boat slips, there is also indoor and outdoor seating available. But you must sit outside on the airy covered deck, so that you can enjoy the panoramic views of the lake.

While the views are amazing from the deck, there is another reason to sit out there. You will see ducks, geese, turtles, fish, and more on the lake!!!

These animals are always swimming alongside the deck waiting to be fed some of the delicious food. The kids will absolutely love interacting with and feeding them. How adorable are these turtles?

Another cool feature about this restaurant is the aquarium that is found inside. While you can’t feed these colorful fish, you can watch them gracefully swim around in the tank.
