    My order: Margarita The Review: I wish I had better things to say. El Barco did not have any way to mitigate cross contamination with gluten, so I could only get a margarita. It was expensive and very watered down, with flecks of something else that contaminated the salt rim. The only table we could get was dirty, and when we finally got someone to help us out, she squirted me with the surface cleaner (I totally would've moved if given a heads-up!). Very very subpar experience at El Barco, but there are several other great restaurants in the vicinity!

    Small portions especially for the price, food was just ok. I've tried different things several times and nothing impressive. Ok for VH but the food is nothing special, outside seating is nice,

    Absolutely killer place down in MV! A must while waiting for the ferry. I love the vibe here. Keep rocking

    House Margarita

    If you're on vacation and you're looking for an amazing marg come here and get the house marg made by the best bartender, Tyler. She made the absolute best marg I've had on the island by far!

    Smash burger tacos

    Unbelievable Mexican food. The Smashburger tacos were to die for. You have to come here and get the soft serve as well!

    Delicious tacos!! I got the mushroom tacos and they were insanely good. The birria tacos were also yum. Margs and guac were also solid. It's also a great place to sit and enjoy being outside but also sheltered from the rain (if you had a day like us!).

    Fabulous location. Fun vibe. The wait staff is very nice. They just opened but the drinks are good and the food is delish. Can't fail in this location. The elote was tasty. Margaritas flavorful. We'll be back for sure.

    Cute town market. The market is a tripe D feature! We tried the sandwich he featured. It was good…read more The service was fast which was impressive dive they were very busy!

    We've gotten takeout from Waterside in the past, but this was our first time dining in, and wow,…read morewhat a poorly run institution. The folks in the kitchen looked like they were hustling, but we saw several customers complaining about how long it was taking their food to come in. Something is not good with the work flow, and while the guy running around was super nice and professional, the girl who took our order was downright rude. Even though we ordered for dining in, our food still came out in a to-go bag. Why? So annoying. The kale chicken caesar was deconstructed, so you have to mix it all up yourself with limited space and utensils. The whole point of eating at the restaurant is so they can do it for you! We do love the harissa cauliflower sandwich that we always order, but every time that we've had it, it's always undersalted. Our daughter's tomato soup was good (if you like a verrrry heavy cream base) but parts of it had slopped over the side from being in the bag and the paper started disintegrating. Unprofessional. We tried a couple of their baked goods for the first time and they were OK. The chocolate chip cookie struck a nice balance between crispy and chewy, but we weren't fans of the pumpkin blondie. We're on the fence of whether we'd come back in person again since this was a pretty disastrous experience in the off-season. We can't even imagine during summertime! Three stars. Do better.

I said the best flank steak I ever had was here at Sharky's. When I complimented the staff she sent the owner over and he gave me the recipe. What a pleasant memory!

    *sigh* I really wanted to enjoy this place, but apparently I wasn't quite booth-worthy…read more When we first walked in, there were two open tables available. We were told one was being held for a party of four, so no problem - we grabbed seats at the bar and waited. A little later, a booth opened up. Exciting! I went over to grab it and was informed that the booth was reserved for parties of four only. Imagine my surprise when approximately 97 seconds later (not that anyone was counting) two people were seated there. At that point, we were assigned what I can only assume is the restaurant's premium seating package: a table directly in front of the front door. This exclusive experience included a refreshing blast of wind every time someone entered or exited, dogs wandering through the dining area, constant foot traffic inches away from the table, and the occasional chair being carried over our heads for added entertainment. Truly immersive. The food was fine, but it's difficult to fully enjoy a meal when you're left wondering what qualifications are required to sit in a booth. Maybe it's age. Maybe it's attire. Maybe there's a secret booth rewards program. I'll never know. To make things even more memorable, there was also a convenient 6% surprise added to the bill at the end. Thankfully, I had dinner at Bettini the night before, where we were treated like valued guests regardless of age, appearance, or booth eligibility status. It was a nice reminder that hospitality still exists on the island. Wishing the staff the best this summer. If you're hoping for a booth, I'd recommend arriving in a tuxedo, carrying a briefcase, and bringing at least two imaginary friends to ensure your party qualifies. Save yourself the headache. Actually, save yourself the migraine and go somewhere else.

For a place that is so busy during the…read morespring/summer, they should really accept reservations to prevent customers from crowding the hostess stand while waiting 20-30 minutes for a table. However, as soon as we were sat at a table, our server (wish I got his name) was very nice and our food arrived very quickly. The lobster bisque was delicious! Great location for souvenir shopping in the area as well!

It doesn't need to be fancy, or stuffy, or absurd. To be honest, we've had a pretty rough year or two. Lots of stress and tension and just...advanced adulting, you know? The stuff you didn't sign up for. Anyway, we ended up here on a cool May weeknight a couple weeks ago and this meal genuinely turned it all around for both of us. I could feel that all that weight melting away. We were present and enjoying the moment and each other. We were both...happy. Looking back now just a little later, we both are more relaxed and living easier again, like we used to be. The sushi here is fantastic, especially the Crystal Roll. The cocktails are great. Unfortunately I forget the name of the one I had (twice). Our server was friendly and approachable and quick to laugh and chat with us. We can't really afford for this place to become a regular spot, but we've already been back. Whoops. The outdoor area on a nice day is highly recommended. Yes, it's busy. Rightfully so. Both times we were seated within 2 minutes. Maybe I'm hitting that age where I start thinking about my impact on the world and making a difference and all of that...but meals like this make me wish I could open a restaurant to impact people in the way we felt the other night. Highly recommended, obviously.
