True but it has a lousy view.

ETA: I was thinking from the back. I forgot you can sit in the front, right? OK, that will do as long as I can face the river.

I don't like sitting out front to eat. On a warm afternoon, I'd sit out front for a beer.

Sitting out back for food is ok. You're correct about lack of view. However, both front and back are smoking areas. Sometimes it is not an option.
