My wife and I went here to have a nice dinner out alone and couldn’t be more pleased. We had several courses and all were staged properly. It would have been easy to just bombard our table instead of paying attention. Everything we tried was very good from the sushi to our main courses(shrimp, scallops, crab legs). Our server was great and very pleasant.

My king crab was the HUGEST leg I have ever seen. We always love our experience there.

We went for Lobster Night, it was a special they were having, it was an amazing meal and the service was awesome. Everything we have tried has been fresh and yummy! my boyfriend loves the rock shrimp, I love the fried oysters. The clam chowder is superb!

My family has been dining here for years. Delicious every single time. Our favorite is the oyster stew (literally my favorite dish...ever). The owners are great. Dining in is great. We also pick up often. Food is always hot and our order is always correct when we get it to go. My favorite local restaurant!

I was once a fan. I will need to take a break from Waterfront as random scallops from my entree lightly hinted of ammonia the last two visits. This is a sign of spoilage. I only complained one of the times and the manager was hardly apologetic although it was removed from my tab. Maybe they are slow going through scallops during the virus slowdown or they changed vendors. Something isn’t quite right.
