    Absolutely god awful experience. Made a reservation on open table for 2pm. Arrive at 145 to a sign that says “closed until 5” worker comes out and I say I have a res for 2pm. He looks at me startled; says “ we don’t do reservations for 2pm” woman comes out and says “we can offer you the buffet for $23 a head.” We go in and there’s literally 4 items. Chicken ribs Mac and cheese and beans. We paid $60 for this. Highly advise against ever going to this place for anyone ever

    Service was terrible. 20 minutes to get a glass of wine and an orange crush soda. Waiter, Jay, walked by multiple time and tried to avoid eye contact. Very frustrating when you’ve been waiting a long time and he pretends not to see you. Food was terrible. Crab and spinach dip had no spinach and looked like something premade and just warmed up in the oven. Mezza plate was even worse. Soggy veggies, hard tasteless olives and and terrible pita chips. Cobb salad ok Seared scallops were disgusting and so overdone they were inedible. Hard peas and bad tasting tomatoes. Peruvian stir fry was a mess too. Onions and peppers with fries stir fried together. Steak was cooked to within an inch of its life. They didn’t have the ribeye but I can only imagine how they would mess it up too. Overall a terrible dinner and worth anywhere the $170.00 w/o tip. I will never go back or recommend. In fact I will most likely will warn people not to go eat at the Watertable.

    Excellent meal. Peruvian steak wax tender and rich and the short rib risotto was rich and creamy. Service was excellent. Views were fantastic of the harbor as we had requested a view of the water by the window. Hostess was very accomodating as well. Overall, highly recommend eating here.

    Thoroughly disappointed with this place for brunch. I can understand why it was so empty on a beautiful day even with view of the inner harbor. Brunch is gross buffet and even though we were at the only table, had to wait about an hour for a drink.

    We really enjoyed this restaurant. The view of the harbor was lovely, the service was great, and the food was tasty. We visited on New Year’s Eve, when the restaurant offered a buffet dinner for $100 per person. Although the food was delicious and the buffet featured a carving station, I still found the buffet to be a bit overpriced. After gratuities and taxes, the total was $248 for two people. Next time, I eat at Watertable, it won’t be on New Year’s Eve.

    There were only three items from the buffet I could eat, as I have a gluten allergy. I thought the breakfast menu would have been available, which would have had more choices. That being said, the omelet was very good. Our server was overbearing and made us feel rushed. He brought the bill before we were even half-way done with our meal and asked us at least 10 times if we wanted coffee to go. Made us feel very uncomfortable. Also, it was very hot in the restaurant.

    I ordered Johnny Walker Black (JWB) scotch which I drink regularly and know very well. The scotch they served me was not JWB. It was not good scotch. When I told the waiter, he was very polite and had the bartender come to my table with a JWB labelled bottle. This scotch they served was not JWB and not even Johnny Walker Red. My presumption is that they are exchanging the scotch in the JWB bottle for some other scotch.

    The breakfast buffet was excellent. They had a great variety of hot foods, fruit, pastries, etc. and even had a juicer with suggested recipes. They also offered made-to-order omelets and waffles. There was something for everyone. The price was higher than what we would typically spend on breakfast, but we were on a weekend getaway so I was expecting it. The host seated us at the "best table" with a nice view of the harbor. The waitress checked on us often to keep our drinks filled and make sure we didn't need anything.

    It was overpriced for the quality of food. We were there for 2.5 hours because it took so long to get our food. The servers kept mixing up orders and bringing the wrong food to the table or they would bring a course before the prior course was supposed to be served.

    Crab chowder was watery was good and Harvest salad was excellent but fish was dry. Maybe it sat under the heat lamp too long. Crab cakes were not mostly lump. Bread pudding was not flavorful at all. Service was slow and wrong salads were delivered. Bit disappointed. View and ambiance were outstanding.

    The view is beautiful and it's a nice, fancy space to be in. But the food was just very mediocre. We were there for New Years Eve, when they had the prix fixe menu, so were expecting pretty high quality. It wasn't "send back to the kitchen" bad, just generally boring and unsatisfying--- nothing we couldn't have gotten at Applebee's. You pay for the view here, which is fine if that's the only thing that matters.

They didn’t know it but she’s a new psychiatrist and she’s moving out because I told her she couldn’t move with debt. She said she’s ready so I treated her to dinner for Christmas. Thank you to your staff for making my last night with my daughter special. You guys Rock! Tiara (sp?) Thank you!

    Our family (6 adults) went to the Watertable for Christmas dinner. No one was at the host/hostess stand. We had made our reservation online at Open Table which was clear and gave us periodic reminders. After we tracked down a waiter the manager came by and seated us - he was accommodating by putting together some tables to provide our group with a good view of the Inner Harbor. We ordered from the Xmas special 3 course menu and between us we had 2'of the 3 appetizers, all 3 entrees, and all 3 desserts. The crab chowder got high ratings - lots of crab and good flavor; harvest salad was fair. The entrees were another story. The meatloaf was strange in taste and texture and the accompanying gravy was the consistency of pudding. The crab cake was decent as were the lamb chops but once again a strange tasting dressing. The desserts were okay and. It was not what you'd expect at such a select restaurant. I kept hearing strange taste for many things. The service was poor - nice waitress bit seemed like she was overburdened as did the limited staff. Staff was nice but seemed overwhelmed. Our family had a nice time anyway - beautiful views and great setting. Unfortunately the parking is run by the city and cost the price of a meal! We wonder how this could be affordable! Merry Christmas!

    Had dinner on a weekend, had no problem making reservations or getting a table. Thinking about it that should have been a signal in busy Baltimore Inner Harbor. We were greeted and seated right away, drink orders and appetizer taken. After that the service was very slow. The drinks we good, not great. I would say the same about the food. Crab cakes pretty average, and I felt the snapper dinner I had was a bit over cooked so too dry. There was lump crab with sauce on top but considering the dryness of the fish the flavor was too bland. And still the service, for a restaurant that was not busy to begin with was slow. We also tried the strawberry shortcake. It had strawberry "flavored" whipped cream and approximately 1 sliced berry alongside a dense pastry of some sort. It was sweet, but I though poorly designed and basically lacked berries. I would not return to this place because there are so many great places to go in the area.

    Very pleasant and professional server (Tony), great job. Waited about 45 min for food, too long, while the place was 80% empty, no explanation given. Food was ok, reasonably good, no thrills, too much added oil to my taste in main dish (salmon) needed to read menu more carefully and ask server how it’s cooked to set the expectations.

    Recommend verifying that the restaurant has adequate staff for the time of the reservation! Very disappointed that although we had a 6 PM reservation, there was no hostess, and only one wait staff who was unable to handle the 6 tables that came in. The food was adequate, however, not spectacular.

    It was convenient since staying in the hotel. Staff was pleasant; however, not very experienced in service. View was very nice overlooking the harbor. Food was delicious and presentation very nice. The biggest downer for me was that it was absolutely freezing and made it unenjoyable to eat. Asked the manager if the heat could be put on and she said “unfortunately, no. Sorry.” I believed that it had something to do with the location of the restaurant and not being able to adjust or turn on the heat yet - not good.
