This is our second time here for dinner. The restaurant terrace overlooking the water is so beautiful. It is so enjoyable to dine outdoors and watch the sunset.

My family’s ordered the Prime Rib Sandwich last time and he told all his friends that it was the best Prime Rib Sandwich in Vencie, so he ordered it again today. He also has the escargot, which he is obsessed with, and he always orders it.

I wasn't so lucky, I ordered lobster tail last time and salmon today with onion and mushrooms as side dishes, the overall feeling was that it all seemed to have been dipped in a frying pan, there was too much oil left on the plate and the salmon had a very sweet sauce on it, it was just greasy and sweet. Too much oil and sugar is too unhealthy.

Hopefully next time I can find a dish I like on the menu.

The server was friendly and attentive, awesome! Will definitely remember her name for next time.

My wife and I visited Waterfrontoo a few nights ago for the first time after having driven past it many times. Let me tell you the reviews you read about this wonderful restaurant do not do it justice. I have given out my share of negative reviews in the past, but it really takes a lot for me to get to that level. We found Waterfrontoo the complete opposite of those who have disregarded it. For starters, our server was outstanding. She consistently checked on us just enough to make sure we were doing alright, but not too much to where she was overbearing. While we visited during evening hours and could not enjoy the water view, we still found the inside to be very clean, cozy, and pleasant. There is ample seating for large parties and the bar area was quite jumping with patrons the night we went. As for the food, it could not have been more delicious. My wife ordered the prime rib and was very happy not only with its flavor, but also its warmth and color. Her baked potato was also cooked just how she likes them. The New York strip I ordered came out just as I asked, which was medium. It had a very flavorful seasoning and was tender to cut. My side of steak fries came out piping hot and also were cooked really well.

All in all, look past the negative reviews (of which most sound too outlandish to even be true). This restaurant is well worth a visit, and it is a place we will be dining at again in the future.

I’ll start with, the food was great (except the beer muffins, they were kinda rubbery.) I moved here in June and have been wanting to try this place…food did not disappoint. The reason I gave 3 stars…minus one star because I called ahead to say we were on our way and asked if I could put our name on the list. The gal that answered didn’t ask how many people, just flat out said “no, we don’t take reservations, everyone in your party must be in the building before we will put your name on the list to be seated.” I wasn’t asking for a reservation, just called to say we were literally five minutes away and wanted to get on the list. When we arrived, the hostess was less than welcoming. I gave her our name and told her we had five people. Immediately behind us, a man stepped up and said, “we have a reservation for XXX.” Wait….what? I said, m’am, I just called and ask about call ahead seating and was told no reservations were accepted. She replied with “they have six people.” That’s great, but they didn’t know I didn’t have six people. I genuinely received nothing more than a shoulder shrug. Minus one more star because our server wasn’t anymore happy than the hostess to be at work. When she arrived to take our order, she simply said “so, what are we doing tonight?” I was a bit taken aback by this approach, so I asked what the specials were (one items of which we ordered.) We would have missed this tasty special had we not asked.

The restaurant is very noisy. Not a show stopper, just not for us and if you’re looking for an intimate dinner or conversation, it is impossible to do here. As we were leaving, we were thanked for visiting by a gentleman.

Simple improvements in the customer facing staff (may have been a bad day for both and we just ended up being on the receiving end) would have increased my review.

Absolutely great! One of my favorites. Especially when the snowbirds are here. They get you in pretty quick, even on a Friday night. The food has been amazing every time I've been there. My favorite is the ahi tuna. And the beer biscuits are delicious!

I went here for a birthday dinner and all aspects were enjoyable! The service was fast and attentive. My surf and turf was perfect, the medium rare 6 oz filet was cooked nicely and the shrimp tasted delicious! I also tried the scallops (for the first time ever) and they were awesome. Highly recommend!
