I always will get their cauliflower crust as I'm obsessed with it. However only downside is it sometimes can come out crispy almost to the point if it is burnt depending on who is behind the counter. Service is overall alright but not great. Waiters are not very friendly and often miss something we ordered or type it in wrong every time we way there however they always fix their mistake. Drinks also can get a bit pricy. Please note the place is not very big so you may have to wait on the weekends. Overall super cute place and love the food!

The drinks hit the spot, finding a seat was easy, and the break-away breadsticks were a flavorful way to kick things off. The pizza itself didn't quite land for our crew. We ordered the Butcher, and the sauce in particular wasn't our style. The prices ran a bit higher than we expected too. Nothing that dampened the outing, just not quite our thing. We're glad we gave it a shot, and if the drinks and appetizers are your scene, it's worth a stop. It may not make our regular rotation on future Okoboji trips, but every town deserves a first visit.

I got the side salad as my side dish and it was one of the smallest salads I have ever seen.. it was simple and good. The service was excellent and the view of the golf course was great. My recommendation is to sit outside as the noise inside is a bit loud for me.

There is a nice big deck for outdoor seating which overlooks the golf course. There are nice big square umbrellas for sunny days. The staff are all local and friendly. My recommendation for food is the build your own pizza. Unlike other places I've been, their toppings offerings are comprehensive including spinach, hot cherry peppers, green olives, feta, shrimp, etc... on top of the standard "boring" toppings. The pizza is oven baked so the crust is perfectly light and crispy yet hearty. Go and enjoy!! This is one of the only place located on the west side of Okoboji on Hwy 86!!

My wife and I had dinner at The Waterfront this evening with our daughter and her family. We…read morearrived around 4:30 PM basically because my wife and I are old farts and like to eat early. The meal began with appetizers, the spinach artichoke dip and the corn bread brûlée, both of which were excellent. Before the appetizers came out our waiter took our entree orders. My wife, who is a light eater, ordered the baked cheese shrimp scampi as her entree. I don't frequently go to a restaurant which has osso buco as an offering, so I jumped on that. The osso buco is $42 dollars and I was surprised to learn that it doesn't include a side salad or soup, especially when there are other entrees for $28 which do include those choices. My son in law ordered the peach chicken and requested his side be the bang bang Brussels sprouts. He was told at 4:50 PM there weren't enough Brussels sprouts left for him to have some. Given the time of day, this was surprising. Even if maybe they were popular at lunch, this was poor planning on the chef's part. When we dine out, which is often, we expect to be able to finish our appetizers before the main dishes show up, but that didn't happen at The Waterfront. I won't speak for my daughter's family, but I will comment on my wife's and my meals. The baked cheese shrimp scampi had way too much cheese. Now those are words I thought I would never speak, but in this case it applies. The shrimp were on the smaller size, I guess that's why they call them shrimp, and the cheese was overload. As I might have given you the impression above, I love osso buco and was sitting there salivating at the thought of enjoying some. The osso buco I was served was disappointing. Portions of it fell off the bone and other portions didn't. The taste was good, but when you're expecting meat to essentially melt in your mouth, and parts of it were chewy and dry, it certainly doesn't meet expectations. Then, while we were still eating, and I had food remaining on my plate that I intended to finish eating, here comes the waiter to close the check out. What's with that? Over all, The Waterfront is not a restaurant we would choose to revisit.

Pricing was on par. Parking was a bit cramped, you can tell when the parking lot is full that the inside will be, too. You need to order at the bar. (They are closed on Monday, FYI.) The pretzel bites were good, mustard definitely had some kick. My West O Cocoa was the perfect end to vacation. I'll pop in this brewery again when we are in town!
