Amazing new seafood restaurant!! The drinks are to die for, especially their espresso martini. Have to try the chowder or lobster bisque! The service from the second you walk in is great

My grouper was raw in the middle and the curry sauce served with it was overpowering. Exchanged it for Mahi Mahi and the flavor profile was even worse and the texture was tough. I didn’t bother to tell the waiter, paid and went somewhere else to eat. Terribly disappointing dining experience.

We were a party of 6 (ages 12-70) and we stopped here for a late lunch (2pm). Given the area and time of day, we were the only guests in the restaurant. It was a great find! Dawn was friendly and professional. We ordered mahi tacos (x2), Caesar salad with blackened chicken, garden salad with blackened chicken, wings, and wagu burger. Everything was great. Fries were delicious too.

Abby was so welcoming as I walked through the door. Both Megan's full of smiles. First time and the lay out was so embracing. The old fashioned on tap? I was skeptical. I was almost too quick to speak before my first sip......it shut me up real quick. Delicious. They walked me through the intricate process of batching their most popular cocktails. Please come hear for yourself. I ordered the scallops with pork belly, rice, and bok choy. The presentation may seem simple at first. Scallops perfectly seasoned and seared. I love to send scallops back. This place? Please bring me more. The pork belly reminded me of those perfect pork cracklings you find after throwing out all the terrible ones. You don't need to ask for more sauce for this dish. Delicious. Thank you. Will see you soon

The food quality and service was superb. The ambience was typical for a pub/grill restaurant. Water views on the river/bay and marina were nice. Waiter and staff were very accommodating and we never felt rushed to vacate our table once we were done eating (very unusual for a restaurant nowadays). Would definitely return again and recommend to others for a casual lunch or dinner.

I recently dined at Watervue and had their seafood pasta dish, and it was absolutely divine! The combination of fresh seafood and perfectly cooked pasta was a true delight for my taste buds. The flavors were balanced beautifully, and the portion size was generous. The ambiance of the restaurant was also very cozy and inviting, adding to the overall wonderful experience. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff making sure everything was perfect throughout my meal. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. Five stars all around!

It was a great place and the staff was amazing, but the online menu and the actual menu are very different. Not sure if they just got a revamp, but it's very misleading. Fine

Went for dinner. Amazing food. All 3 meals were off the hook, some of the best food I’ve had on the planet. Great service. Great happy hour drinks. Not sure how it could ever get a bad review.

We picked this restaurant for the seafood. It is a fairly small restaurant with a nice bar. The swordfish was excellent! Good happy hour pricing for drinks. Great view of the water across from the arena.

In town for a con. Decided to check this restaurant out from a recommendation from a Marriott bartender. Quaint modern restaurant.A nice change of pace from the hotel eateries filled with overly complicated menus. They were busy but the order and drinks came out promptly. The staff at a first glance was excellent. It was a busy night and they were short staffed. Although wait times for food delivery increased, staff made sure we were happy. Oysters and calamari were fantastic. While the entree may have taken longer than expected due to some staffing, yet again we were met with hospitality and drinks and check ins were at 110%. Drinks prompt and apps holding over the hunger. Myself and my counterpart ordered the wahoo. It was excellent. The wait was by far worth it. Even with the wait we were offered comps. No need. It was an excellent experience and fantastic food. Regardless of a short wait on delivery, I would 100% go back. Getting back to the hotel and seeing other attendees of the event I was at I couldn’t recommend to all how good it was. Thank you for an amazing dinner. Rain or not we felt comforted and well fed.

Solid waitstaff and a great area for tourists. Beautiful view to compliment the great food and intoxicating adult beverages. Love this place and would fly to Florida again just to eat!

Lindsey Ellington

The food is over priced for the quality, portion size and service. The poached salmon was devoid of flavor, the bok choy was gritty (should have been cleaned more thoroughly), the “herb salad” consisted of two cilantro leaves, and the plain rice made the fish taste even more flavorless.
