This restaurant and drinking spot gives you a change to dine or drink right by the lake with views to the hills and East Oakland. It is a great spot to while away a hot day drinking Margaritas, or a cold beer and munching on some American cuisine. It feels like you are in open space because the open water borders you one one side.
