I was disappointed in our first visit back to the Waterway since the renovation. It is VERY loud in the restaurant, difficult to maintain a conversation with our friends at our table of 4. Food was OK. Service was OK. Overall, just OK.

The ambience and service were great! We were there celebrating a birthday. They came & sang which was nice. The food was good. A 4 year old in the party got a cheese pizza-she was not impressed. Not “kid friendly” enough. I got the fish tacos-good but a little “fishy”. Everyone else was happy-crab salad (tons of crab), blackened shrimp quesadilla & skirt steak sandwich. We also got the creme brûlée & orange cake. Both were great. Overall it was very good!

My friends and I had a leisurely weekday lunch at an inside table with a view of the Intracoastal. Our server, Breezy, was attentive and helpful. The ambiance and new decor was very nice. The food was well prepared and tasty (we all had salads), with a couple of exceptions; the peanut dressing for the Thai Chicken salad was too spicy, the beets on the Beet salad were fairly tasteless and it was skimpy on the feta cheese but the Burrata salad was deemed excellent. The prices have increased significantly since I was last there before the remodel and they now add a mandatory 20% service charge to the bill, which they mentioned when we were first seated. I would go back and try some other dishes in the future.

Ambience is nice, nice scenery of intracoastal. Our waitress Olivia was great. Food was overpriced but was overall good. Had a reservation and still had to wait 15mins to be seated. Hostess took us to our table and instead of being greeted with a welcome she reminded us that 20% gratuity was automatically added. No problem with the automatic gratuity but found it extremely tacky.
