I have been here a few times on my trip. It seemed to be the only thing open at night to do. They have several decent restraunts (although the pizza buffet was no good). They have some great little shops for any keepsakes you may want to take home. The prices at the food stands are very pricey they want about four dollars for a single hot dog but the restraunts are decent. You get a great view of Alcatraz and the sea lions there are the cutest. There were a few that even seemed to be posing for pictures. These sea lions have made this their year round home. Make sure it's not to windy of a day or you may smell them and it isn't nice. I reccommend going here to check it out
