   I would like to start off by saying the server was very nice and kind but the experience other than that was poor. It was a dark and dingy dining room but had roses on the table and jazz music playing. I was confused on if it was going for a classy restaurant however all the decor was laid back surfing pics and it didn’t mesh well. The prices were extremely high and the food sounded good on the menu. However when we got the food it was not. We ordered two pastas off the specials menu and they used words like “organic spinach” however it was clear that it was a frozen pasta and it was undercooked. The Alfredo sauce was as thick as pudding and I did my best to eat it but within 15 minutes I because sick from it. The other pasta looked so unappetizing and grey and sloppy that it was not edible. Another person in our party ordered a medium cooked steak and it was cooked completely well and was hard and chewy and inedible. The things that we ordered that were fried were ok so they had the frying machine down but not the actual cooking. There was almost no one eating in the restaurant at prime dinner time so it was apparent that this was not a popular restaurant with the locals. Unfortunately, having nice staff is not enough reason for me to recommend this restaurant at all.

   The food is always excellent as well as the service. Dina provided us with superb service as usual. The menu offers a good amount of choices. It’s hard to pick, never had I had a meal that was disappointing. The steak and lobster were cooked to perfection when we went for Valentine’s Day. The last visit we had the Water Tower Sandwich, which was really yummy! Reservations recommended as it’s a small charming little restaurant.

   I love this place. It was extra special as I was there for Valentine's Day with my Fiancé. Our server Santo was outstanding. He took great care of us. He always does. YES. Water Street Grill had a Valentine's Day menu lineup. It hit a Home Run! The food was MUY BUENO!! Spinach Raviolis, Shrimp Pasta, Killer Bread Pudding, Tiramisu. Check all the boxes for YUMMY. Even the leftovers rocked! Thank for making My Valentine Super Duper Happy!

   Is a small, intimate restaurant with wonderful food and service. Parking in the rear. It was perfect for a rainy night. When we arrived there was a table of 4 and a table of 2. When we left, the restaurant was full. I feel like it’s a IYKYK type of spot

   Who knew this little space was big on great service and excellent meals? We were a little sus about the place being empty on a Sunday night. I made the reservation thinking we would have steaks and other items on the menu call to us.. The artichoke appy was good. The ravioli special with homemade pesto was just as it should be melt in your mouth lick the plate good. The fish was excellent . a must go to next time we are in town.

   We found Wayer Street Grill on Yelp and they were able to seat our party of five on a Griday night at the last minute. We are so glad we went there. First And foremost Shelly our server was phenomenal. She was engaging, patient, accommodating for food issues and funny. We couldn’t have asked for anything better. The food was great and a great value. They let us stay late while we finished eating and talking and checked on us the perfect amount. We will recommend them again and again!

   Our server Shelly was outstanding! The food was pretty good, I got a steak and my friend got the salmon. It was good but didn’t blow me away. Would return
