The restaurant is situated in a shopping area but it is protected by plants and overall has a nice ambience. The menu is delicious, especially the dover sole for two which our guests enjoyed. I loved the wild boar and my husband enjoyed the lamb chops. I chose the Markham Merlot by the glass but the rest of the table enjoyed a lovely Pinot Noir from a nice selection of bottled wines. There was not entertainment during the week; however, on Sundays there is a delightful vocalist. We will be back!!!

Ipon arrival at the Water’s Edge, we were warmly greeted by our waitress then given a basket of warm fresh rolls and herbed butter. There was anything you could want on the menu but we chose the fresh Mahi-Mahi served with vegetables and mashed potatoes. The portion was fresh and delicious. I would definitely go back.
