"If you have a boat on Lake Union you can dock at this no-frills grill; landlubbers have to park on the street and follow signs down a gravel path to get to Bowriders. Either way, once you’re there, you get to eat a burger and sip a beer with a side of a panoramic view of the lake and the skyline. In winter the covered and heated patio makes for a great spot to watch the Christmas ships." - Gabe Guarente, Eater Staff, Harry Cheadle

This restaurant is a very nice hidden spot. We came here on a rainy day but they have a covered area with heaters everywhere so it’s really nice. With the upbeat jazz music… it makes this place super cozy and we literally were eating next to the lake 🙂 probably 10 steps away from the water! The owner is super friendly we got to chat a bit. We ordered three dishes and it’s just about the right amount for two people. We plan to come back here soon!!

Of the three options nearby, Gasworks Brewpub and Westward we visited, this was our favorite. Did not get any food, just wine and beer. Amazing views not as busy as Gasworks, and more casual than Westward. All great options next to each other

Wow a hidden gym on the water. The food was perfect, tenderloin pops were cooked to perfection and seasoning as well as the shrimp. I can’t say enough but if you want beautiful view ambience and delicious food, don’t miss this place.

What a great, hidden gem right on the water near Gasworks Park. Our food was great, the view is amazing. I think it would help to have a bit more information for customers about how the counter service works, and that there are blankets available. The service was wonderful, great, great view. Will definitely be back!

We found this place by accident. Truly a hidden gem!! Matthew is incredibly nice! In addition to the delicious Salmon skewers and tacos, he offered us a mouthwatering red velvet cupcake and tea on the house! The place has a fire pit, heaters, and BLANKETS. Reasonable prices and great food. Incredible view of Lake Union and downtown! I can keep talking about this place for ever! Definitely coming back! Highly recommended

One of our new favorite places, and our is on the water. Food is great and drinks are good. Staff is always friendly. Pull up a chair and watch the boats go by, or planes in some instances.

I looooove this place! The staff are some of the nicest people and I had the best salmon and shrimp skewers here. I was shocked by how juicy and perfectly cooked all the food was. We also got to sit at the shore of lake union and watch the city skyline and people watch boats that came by. Highly recommend.

Tough to find the black gate to the north of Westward but a great spot on lake Union. No hard liquor but lots of wine and beer along with food. Fire pit and outdoor heaters top it all off. Recommended.
