Which meal fits your boat
A daytime boat on the weekend
Weekend brunch starts at noon on Saturdays and Sundays and runs to 4:30pm, with 3:45pm as the last seating. Going bottomless costs $25 a head for 90 minutes, and the whole table has to be in on it, which suits a crew that's all in. Bottomless brunch →
An afternoon or evening boat
Dinner starts at 5pm. Tuesdays mean Taco Tuesday: $25 per person buys 90 minutes of unlimited tacos, 5 to 11pm, by reservation. There's karaoke on Wednesday from 7 to 10pm, and a $90 Taco Tower on Thursday.
On Mondays we're closed; pick another day for your meal here.
If the day turns cold
In summer the glass roof is pulled back to the skyline; in winter it stays shut and the room is heated, so we're open all year. The heated rooftop →
