Upper Deck Restaurant

The Boardwalk Restaurant added an Upper Deck in 2007, and ever since it has been the Put-in-Bay restaurant to go to for fine dining. Dress up or don’t, nowhere in Put-in-Bay is very pretentious. Enjoy the indoor and outdoor seating with a 180-degree panoramic view of Lake Erie and Put-in-Bay Harbor. As with all Boardwalk locations, the creamy famous lobster bisque is the feature nonpareil. High marks are also consistently given to the lobster mac and cheese. You’ll be quite happy with just that. But to push things further and experience the true grandiosity of Put-in-Bay, you must order the Alaskan King Crab Dinner. It is a full pound of Alaskan King Crab legs served with drawn butter, fresh lemon, coleslaw, and a bowl of the aforementioned lobster bisque. Located downtown Put-in-Bay near Derivera Park,  Upperdeck is one of the best restaurants on South Bass Island.
