    Breezy was the best waiter. Very informative and did not push us to order. Food was outstanding. From the drinks to dessert. Overall one of the best experiences so far for dinner. Highly recommend.

    This was our first time at the new Waterway. The interior is cold and uninviting, looks like a funeral home. I ordered the steak sandwich which was awful. I’m not sure if it was supposed to be cold, but it was mushy and slimy. My husband and dad ordered the burger and they said it was dry, but not horrible. One and done.

    Our server Selby was excellent. He knew the menu and the specials well. When the food was delivered, everyone received the correct dish without it being "auctioned off". The only critique is some of the food lacked flavor, especially the fish and chips.

    Massive restaurant on the intracoastal. Very traditional seafood menu with a steak and burger thrown in. Seems to cater to an older clientele. Not bad, just not very exciting.

    Had a wonderful corner table on the deck outside. Very pleasant. Had the appetizer lobster guacamole. It was delicious with lots of lobster. Could have had more guac. Lots of chips. The Cajun bowl appetizer was amazing! Large enough to be considered an entree. The pistachio crusted sea bass was good. It could have used more of the "crusting" which was very minimal - almost none. Overall the dinner experience was very nice. They automatically charge a 20% service fee and they notified us of this when we were first seated. I will definitely go back.

    Wonderful service, food quality great. Really love the updates. Valet parking is great. The wait for your car, not so much. The price of success.
