At Waters Restaurant – Sundance Square, we source the freshest wild, seasonal, and sustainable seafood available. Our style brings together flavors of the southwest, with hints of Louisiana, but our featured ingredients themselves typically speak the loudest. Our Signature Gumbo hastens back to some Creole roots when Jon Bonnell cooked in the French Quarter of New Orleans, while our beef gets the royal treatment Chef Felli has made famous for much of his career. Diver scallops from Maine get a slight TexMex makeover after being perfectly golden-crust-seared, while jumbo lump crabcakes celebrate beautifully fresh crab as their essence, never loaded with fillers just to save a buck. We will never utilize third-world fish farms, cheap seafood substitutes, artificial flavorings, or exploit threatened species at Waters. We strive for only the best experience for our guests, while at the same time being good stewards of our environment and our future.

Service and food were both wonderful. We shared the “dirty dozen” oyster medley and the Arctic Char. Both were very good. I would definitely order these 2 again.

I had the most amazing Valentine's dinner at Waters Restaurant! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The Dirty Dozen and crab cakes were an exquisite start to the meal, highly recommend! The wine selection was fantastic, pairing beautifully with the entrees, which were absolutely superb; we enjoyed the Atlantic chat, steak, and lobster. Each dish was crafted to perfection, bursting with flavor and presentation. To top it all off, the dessert (cheesecake) was a decadent treat that left us both in awe - literally! The price was incredibly reasonable for such high-quality food and service. The atmosphere was warm and romantic, and the waitstaff was attentive, friendly, and professional. I couldn't have asked for a better evening. Highly recommend Waters for any special occasion!

We had good food, however the Halibut was very salty and we had advised the waitress of the issue. No manager came out to be concerned. The other two dishes we had were very good.
