Great idea. We should do that on the river Clyde in Glasgow; floating restaurants and what about a floating casino as well.
This would also be a fabulous idea for the Canal in downtown Indianapolis, and there are lots of other areas, such as Geist Reservoir, and up into the Great Lakes, where one could conceivably build a floating restaurant.
