Seafood

Top Tags:

At Waters Restaurant – Sundance Square, we source the freshest wild, seasonal, and sustainable seafood available. Our style brings together flavors of the southwest, with hints of Louisiana, but our featured ingredients themselves typically speak the loudest. Our Signature Gumbo hastens back to some Creole roots when Jon Bonnell cooked in the French Quarter of New Orleans, while our beef gets the royal treatment Chef Felli has made famous for much of his career. Diver scallops from Maine get a slight TexMex makeover after being perfectly golden-crust-seared, while jumbo lump crabcakes celebrate beautifully fresh crab as their essence, never loaded with fillers just to save a buck. We will never utilize third-world fish farms, cheap seafood substitutes, artificial flavorings, or exploit threatened species at Waters. We strive for only the best experience for our guests, while at the same time being good stewards of our environment and our future.

Everything was great except the parking situation. Valet parking is outrageous. Won’t be coming back anytime soon just because of parking. I can spend that extra $23.00 towards food at another quality restaurant.

The adult meals were top notch. What a Seafood tower, extra shrimp and did a variety of the salads. Their Long Island Ice Tea and pomegranate mule were SO good. Some of the best cocktails I've ordered in a while. The kids meals were all things they would eat, so that was great, but nothing special. I will definitely be back.

My wife was celebrating her 40th birthday and we were greeted with a birthday card to kick off the meal. Our server , Andrew, was very efficient, attentive and personable. The standout for the evening were the Barstool Oysters and Espresso Martini! Everything was great, those were just the standouts. Sn excellent evening. We will return.

Disappointing! Swordfish was presented nicely but was severely undercooked. Could not cut it with a table knife and it was red, whereas properly cooked swordfish should flake easily with a fork. In addition, the fish did not taste fresh. Chef cooked it more, and correctly, but said it was just a small vein that was not cooked. I'd have more respect if he'd admitted it was undercooked the first time. Also expected an offer of something different, or to cook a new steak, not the same one. Side of asparagus was underwhelming. Had calamari, which was greasy and did not taste fresh either. Wife had short ribs on spätzle. Ribs were good. Spätzle was so-so. Understand we're still recovering from pandemic, but at the very high prices charged here I had much higher expectations. Disappointing!

Our waitress Isabel delightful and so wonderful. We reserved seating on the patio for early evening, the ambiance was perfect. We started with the crap cake appetizer, followed by the Cesar Salad, for our Entrees we opted for the 12oz Lobster Tail for my husband and the 8oz Filet Mignon for myself. In my opinion it was the absolute best steak I believe I have ever had! This was our first time dining here and have added Waters to our date night rotations.

We were visiting Ft Worth and booked Waters for a pre-opera dinner. We were seated at a table in the bar area (our choice) and our server was prompt and very helpful. We ordered a mix of happy hour specials and regular menu items, everything was outstanding. The happy hour dirty dozen oysters is a great deal and very fresh. I also had the ceviche, while my husband had crab cake and scallops. Would highly recommend going to Waters if you are in the Ft. Worth area.
