He built it himself and lived in it for a time before moving it to the San Francisco waterfront. The least you can do is give the guy a lousy 3 bucks for his work.... i mean, he IS coming to pick you up, right? like kris says, it's a unique treat, and i think it's worth going back to again.

I really liked the atmosphere of the restaurant, especially since we were on a boat while eating. Being that it was prom night, the prices were expected to be a bit high, so it didn't ruin the meal. The salmon and rice was very tasty. The place was overall very pleasant and festive. The one drawback was the transportation to and fro. The boat ride, only about 15-30 seconds, costs $2- $3 per person, I don't quite remember. For a nice occasion, and if you don't mind the prices, it is a great restaurant to try.
