We chose Waterfront to celebrate our 30th Wedding anniversary as we both love seafood. It proved to be a wonderful choice. We each had entrees and main courses and shared a desert. Every dish was promptly served, suitably proportioned and delicious. Had time for a romantic stroll on the beach after.

My experience with the wait staff was amazing. I had ordered something which I did not really like and when the wait staff asked how our meals were, I just answered honestly. I wasn't expecting anything to come of it, but I was offered another meal in replacement. I have never experienced that before. I will definitely be back for that alone. My daughters enjoyed their meals and the cocktails were tasty. Highly recommend, but be prepared for the cost. Nothing great comes for free.
