restaurant with a river running through it?

HI,

We are doing a summer family scavenger hunt and we are looking for a restaurant with a river running through it in the bay area. Does anyone know of one?

    Wow, I'm really late to this scavenger hunt, but does Crustacean in SF have a river running through it like the one in LA does? This is not an endorsement of the food, just a river possibility.

    Where did you end up going?

      No. The only place I know of around here is the Brookroom at the Brookdale Inn.

        That's the one and only. Truly weird.

              Santa Cruz Mountains, between Boulder Creek and Ben Lomond.

          Brookdale lodge in Boulder Creek. But check the reviews, they don't look promising.

            The Moss Room in the California Academy of Sciences has a river running through it, with fish.

              Isn't it a pond?

              Oh--how about the Tonga Room? There's a bridge you have to cross.

                Arguably, any sushi boat place has a river running through it.

                  La Foret a french restaurant named, appropriately enough, for its lush forest surroundings. Located in San Jose!
