Enjoyed an evening with my mother in law and Fíance, very beautiful location, food was delicious. Only thing that was an irk was the lack of fountain soda. The only options being can or glass. I didn’t ask, but I would assume refills are not free. I understand it is restaurant choice, and just wish it was clearly listed in the menu (menu lists fountain). Otherwise, wonderful meal, service, and ambience. We will definitely be back.

We love Marlow's at Waterford Lakes and if you have the opportunity to get Ashey as your waitress, you will be very pleased! She is extremely polite and attentive! You also can never go wrong with the Firecracker Shrimp and the Royale with cheese. Best burger we have ever had!
