We wanted to eat dinner, but the marina had no restaurant. But the Riverside Cafe was just up under the bridge. I figured that the last run of the bus at 4:45 could take us up there and we'd only have to walk back. But instead of coming to the bus stop, the bus went in back of the marina building and escaped without us being able to get on it. So we did walk, and it wasn't that far. It probably would be easier to come by dinghy (except in our dinghy) because there are dinghy docks.

This is a covered but open sided restaurant which is a pleasant change from the glacial conditions often found in the air conditioned areas. There is a bar which is buzzing as people have congregated to watch the sunset. It has live music and two for one Bud or Bud Light happy hour every evening from 4 to 7, with a big bar and deck area so you can watch the sunset across the river. There is a warning on the menu that tells people that a bell will ring and everything will stop for 5 minutes to watch the sun go down.

After dinner, we walked back through the Spanish moss festooned live oaks of MacWilliams Park.

Dress Code: People were dressed nicely, but I don't know what the dress code was.
