On Yelp or elsewhere, it lists as
The Loeb Boathouse (E 72nd St 5th Ave, NY 10128)
We got there a few minutes before their noon opening, were told all lakeside tables were reserved. We settled on their patio – no table cloth, and the menu is limited.
The atmosphere was good so was the view. The New Zealand’s Brancott Sauvignon Blanc was a little flat but ok. The kale salad tasteless and the burger was hard and dry – the fries were the best item. Funny my friend mentioned that her Shake Shack’s stock (SHAK $103) has doubled since purchased six months ago. Good for her but it did little to relieve my misery -:). I rarely eat a burger but make decent patty for those who love a burger: add onion, etc., to make it soft and juicy. Anyway, I was throughly disappointed, if not horrified.
The walk in the park was great.
Additionally, be aware that they impose 15% gratuity (tip) to your bill. It’s been in use for a long time but I don’t read, so missed it altogether. And yes, my math is great, as my Chinese friend teased: was taught by P.E. teacher – a common joke in China. Verliii sorry physical education teachers…
