About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines
Good for business meals

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.

The service and food were exceptional. We sat outside and enjoyed the 90s cover band playing at the promenade. The oysters, filet mignon, and halibut could not have been better. 10 out of 10

We hosted some prospective customers for drinks and dinner. The restaurant was busy but the service was great. The food is always outstanding and our guests commented about what a great choice we made taking them there.

Great seafood restaurant (with apparently excellent steaks!). Valet parking was great - I am disabled so the valet guy kept my car close by Jacob was an excellent server who even mentioned the price of specials that weren't on the menu. We had blackened redfish as a special which was great - but the accompanying fried green tomatoes were a bit soggy. This is owned by Jon Bonnell - a heavyweight in the Ft Worth fine dining scene.

Beautiful ambiance and atmosphere. NOLA barbecue shrimp was excellent, as well as the calamari and hush puppies. Also the wagyu burger and fish and chips were well prepared and tasty. Waters is an excellent restaurant!

Isabelle was great!! We split a gumbo and a Caesar and they were great and we shared halibut, which was delicious, the filet was nothing to talk about. My biggest issue was the clinical lighting in the dining area, it took from the ambiance. Migraine trigger for sure if you’re susceptible like I am.
