Relax and enjoy yourself as you savor some of the tastiest dishes the Caribbean has to offer. Growing up as a child in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands, I came to love the local cuisine and the abundance of fresh seafood on the island. Love of the Caribbean and its food have helped make this restaurant a reality. My wonderful wife, Laurie, has a passion for Southern cooking and you will find a splendid southern twist in the menu, such as the Kentucky Hot Brown, Corn Pudding and Fried Green Tomatoes.

All our food is made fresh daily. The herbs used in our delicious dishes are grown in our garden here at the restaurant. We invite you to tour the garden and allow your taste buds to be teased by the scent of parsley, basil and rosemary and walk our boardwalk to see what’s jumping.

Thank you for visiting the Farlow’s on the Water website. We hope you choose to visit our restaurant soon.

    Farlow’s’s was a perfect place to eat. Making the online reservation through Open Table was seamless. The covered patio was cool and comfortable, despite the large number of guests dining on a Wednesday night. Our service was excellent, and the food was delicious. As a Celiac I was happy to find numerous safe offerings on the menu and a server who was helpful and knowledgeable about food allergies. Thanks, Farlow’s!

    Great dinner experience. Was impressed with staff interactions, including hosts, wait staff, and servers—personable, knowledgeable and helpful. Food was great —a variety of local fish prepared as you like it.

    Our party of 7 really enjoyed sitting outside for dinner. We first had drinks from the outdoor bar. Our bartender, lady, made a great dirty martini and Glen Levit on the rocks. Our server, Marissa, was very friendly and informative. Great service! We had appetizers, a bottle of wine, and other drinks. My husband and I shared the Island Swordfish off the special menu. Very good! We had a side of cheesy Grits in a cheese bowl! Amazing!!! Thank you!

    The food is always good here. the service was excellent. Ambiance was okay. It's a little noisy. It's a little too cool to eat on the patio in December. The house salad dressing is wonderful.
