Tell the owner of the building GOOD LUCK in renting the building out in these economic times or anytime in the next 3 years or so.

If you are putting up the build out money I would recoup such in FREE rent as the landlord gets 100% of the benefit of the build out.

Since you are renting the building I would suggest - Renewal options, CPI escalation clause on the rent renewal option, then right of first refusal to buy the building if such is placed on the market.

I would also see if you could tie a percentage of the rent into a sale percentage factor. Low sales, lower rent (off months / start-up). Very seasonal business so you have to make your money in basically about a 5 month period.

If you have never been in the restaurant business, from what I hear from friends in the business it is a very demanding hands on business in terms of monitoring your food costs and alcohol costs based on 5 finger discounts and family/friend discounts.

Would assume the primary market are the family boaters so as you said apply the KISS theory and market to families during the day and for dinner.

Would also suggest talking to Don and his Wife as if I am not mistaken at one point and time there was a successful restaurant located there way back when.
