    Great food and waitstaff was very accepting of our requests. We arrived at 5:30 so the noise level was very acceptable. As the evening wore on, it got a bit louder, particularly when young children showed up. The ribeye was amazing.

    Had a wonderful time with my son for Sunday brunch for his 21st birthday. Service was attentive. Food was delicious. They signed a card for him, gave mimosas, and birthday dessert, with candle, too!

    Our patio reservation was not ready in time, and the host was incredibly rude to me about it. We ended up having to sit indoors because we would have been late to our show if we continue to wait for our table. Our server was kind and patient with a dining companion who had allergies, but the food took awhile to arrive, making our meal rushed. It probably would not have been a problem if we had gotten the table we reserved in the first place.

    Waterman Grille is always a memorable dining experience. With a location on the water, the food and ambience are great. Having said that, my wife and I both got the grilled pork chop. We also had this around 5 years ago when we visited. They changed the recipe, and it wasn't quite the same; it had a lot of mushy food around it and was cut into pieces. Last time it was just one big pork chop. It was kind of overwhelmed by the surrounding food. Overall, it was still a great meal.

    1st time at Waterman Grill. Service is outstanding. Selections of menu items is not the same as the norm which makes it interesting. I had a beef stroganoff with pasta. It was delicious! My friend had a giant burger and fingerling potatoes .Quantities were excellent. My friend took most of the fingerlings home to eat again. Her burger had filled her.We sat in the lounge at high tops. Additional seating at a good sized bar, the next room faces the water but was full. Also patio seating outside on the water.. We truly enjoyed our time there. The cost for this lovely experience is too high for my budget. In the description it specifies $20-30 which needs to be updated to $30-50 per person. Reservations are a must - remember that if you want to go.
