Wonderful place! Been going for years, and our kids love now love Whoopies, and Dennis too. That being said, there are rules. Behave as if you were a guest in someones home, not like a rowdy bar patron. Do not make a mess. I don't think I would bring food, although I have brought snacks for my kids, but have always cleaned up and taken any trash with me. Dennis is a great guy, but if he is in a mood, don't take it personally In the end, it is truly the finest spot for sunset anywhere on the planet, as far as I am concerned!
