Restaurants in Chicago accessible by water, HELP!!
I am headed down to Chicago boating this weekend. I am looking for a place to eat that I can get to on the boat. I know Dick's last resort used to have a dock but they moved. The only other place I know is Loves on the south branch of the river. I am looking for something a little nicer. Does anybody know of any place decent?

Chicago IS NOT a boater friendly kinda town.  I believe that Marina towers has a pretty nice restaurant in it, and you can also get fuel there too. If you need 93 oct fuel, then you'll have to go to Diversy harbor. It's the first harbor just north of Oak street beach and north avenue beach. You'll see the red light/green light on the top of the bridge where you go in. The fuel docks are all the way to the south end of the harbor.

There is Lawrence Fisheries on the South Branch at Canal Street. The food is pretty good. The wife and I always enjoyed tying up there and having lunch.

Flatwater is at the Clark Street bridge on the north side of the river. Ya have to climb up a ladder to get to the top of the wall then walk across someones table...its actually pretty funny but one of your best options. Dicks Last Resort is two street down to the east on the north side as well but I'm not sure about the boat parking...its right above skipper buds which makes me have to believe there is some form/way to park there and go upstairs to eat

There is also "fultons on the river" which is at lasalle street and the river. Upscale steakhouse, and you used to be able to dock at their wall, I would think you still could.
Smith & Wollensky is also located on the River, at Marina Towers I beleive.
