The restaurant is on the waters edge but they have a large fence and gates to keep wandering kiddos from accidents.There are large openings and ramps available and accessible seating.

The shrimp cocktail was small but delicious with the chips. We also got the taco sampler for 2 ppl and it was the best decision, all tacos were great. Live music and dancing with fireworks was a great vibe. Would come here again often.
