    Fish and Chips
    Peggy M.

    Went with a group of friends the other night. Our server was very attentive and helpful. A friend and I split a fish and chips, but since it comes with 3 pieces we ordered another piece. It was really good. The batter was shatteringly crisp and the halibut was good. I wasn't so impressed with the food my friends got. The steak was expensive and she was want impressed. The Reuben sandwich comes with pepper jack according to the menu. Hmmm...does that marry well with sauerkraut? Not to me. Anyway, this place seems like it needs a facelift. We weren't impressed with the rice cooker on a chair near the restrooms. It does have a casual vibe and like I said, the fish and chips were really tasty.

    Fish & chips divided between my sister and I.

    I loved my fish & chips. They were halibut and beer battered. You get 3 not overly big pieces. They seem to have an identity crisis. They have quite a variety of food from fish & chips, steak, burgers and sushi. Wait-sushi? I don't think that goes with their vibe and I really wouldn't order that from them. Their Reuben is listed on the menu as being made with pepper jack cheese! No thanks. I like my Reuben's made the traditional way. My friend ordered a steak for $48. She was not at all happy. It was very fatty and was quite thin. She had a salad (looked like mostly greens) and it also came with veggies and mashed potatoes. Wish I had snapped a photo of that. Another friend had chicken Marsala. She enjoyed it. I thought it was weird they had a huge rice cooker on a chair in the dining room. It was plugged in, with the cord running up the side of the door frame and plugged into an extension cord above the door. Wonder what the fire inspector would say about that? I'd go back for the fish & chips. Service was fast and our server did a great job.

    AMAZING service, our server was awesome! All of the food was phenomenal and I will be back! I wish I had taken more photos, my drink was great! I appreciated the delicious bacon cheeseburger and the tots had fabulous flavor! My girls and I had a blast and really enjoyed the environment!

    Chicken and Dumplings
    Kelsie D.

    Heard they had chicken and dumplings so I had to stop in and try them out. The dish was yummy and hearty. Not too salty, right amount of pepper and just a nice comforting meal. The portion was large so definitely enough for me to take home and have another meal. Service was prompt and they were nice. The ambiance was a little dark and overall a tad lacking. But I'll be back for the chicken and dumplings!

    Buddha Bowl
    Patty B.

    Big surprise!! First time meeting here for a book club luncheon. Very impressed with easy location, greeted by staff, quickly seated. The restaurant was an outdoorsy feel and clean. Their menu was plenty to choose from. I ordered the Buddha Bowl with Chicken. Delicious!! Nice looking presentation and very good. Others ordered Burgers to Pork and Brisket sandwiches. Every thing looked good and everyone was happy with their order. By the time we left, they were super busy. Definitely a local crowd pleaser. I would definitely comeback.

    I've been meaning to check this place out for quite some time (I am newer to the area) and finally made it there yesterday for lunch. We had a delightful experience in our comfort, the service (Jane is an absolute peach!), menu variety, the food, and the prices. I had the blackened halibut tacos, which includes two huge tacos and a generous portion of housemade coleslaw. My dining companion went with a quesadilla which she said was lovely. We also made sure to save room for dessert, her having the brownie sundae, and I went with a crème brûlée, which I was very excited to learn was available at lunchtime. She loved her brownie sundae and it was quite large so a good portion of it went home with her. I didn't especially care for the crème brûlée; I might be a crème brûlée snob, I don't know! But everything else that we had was really great. There is a covered outdoor area that was very tempting, but the temps were up just a bit yesterday so we opted to eat inside. Ample parking was available and I love that even with the close proximity to downtown, there was no fee to park. Plan to go back sometime soon for prime rib!

    Beautiful, happy hour, wedge salad
    Lea G.

    A little off the beaten path spot that is super fun and really good food. They have happy hour every day 3 to 6. Beers and cocktails at a great price. Five dollars. I enjoyed a vodka cranberry. The service is very prompt and friendly We each started off with a wedge salad from the happy hour menu. Man it was so delicious! Tons of tasty bacon, Lardon. A huge wedge of iceberg. Lots of cheese and a tasty creamy dressing. This was a huge win for me. We tried that side pasta plate. Penne, pasta, and an Alfredo sauce. Just the right portion for a happy hour treat. Super creamy and delicious. Definitely coming back to this spot to try some other good eats They have a parking lot, so that was not an issue. Not sure how I missed the spot before but now I know!

    Oysters    Brisket sandwich

    Seating was uncomfortable cause they were having a private event so we had to do high tops. I had chicken fried oyster that tasted wonderful. Others had brisket sandwich that was huge. Nice crispy onion rings.

    Cheech a Roni's

    Came in around 5:30pm on a Friday evening. We got a seat at one of the long tables by the bar. Man those stools they you sit on there are way uncomfortable. I left there about 15 mins ago and my ass and back still hurt. She got the short ribs. They call them short ribs like the big beefs ribs but they are not. They are flank style ribs not beef short ribs. Oh well, that's mis advertising. She did it really like the ribs and neither did my friend. She did like the brussel sprouts and the mashed potatoes that came with it. I ordered a salad with my Ruben and ended up getting tater tots. I had to remind the waitress that I needed my salad. Plus, the waitress was kind of impatient when we sat down wanting to take our drink orders right away when we had not even had a chance to look at the beer menu. Omg the beer menu does not even tell you where the beers come from it just says IPA. Lol My Ruben had hot red peppers on it. Weird. Not much meat and tons of sour kraut. Plus, the bread on the bottom was soggy. Oh well, that place got packed. $64.00 for two for dinner with one beer each. Might not be back.

    Wedge salad (half).
    Andilee J.

    Food is great! We had the fried oysters, wedge salad, beet salad, brisket sandwich, shrimp pesto pasta, and kids mac & cheese. Everything was delicious. Super impressed with the kids mac & cheese! Cocktails were on point! Service was okay but it was a busy Friday night. Made a reservation but had to wait for a table anyways due to the already full restaurant. Kind of on the loud side since it's one large open room but definitely still easy to talk at the table. Love the casual vibe and outdoor area in the warmer months!

A special shoutout to our server, Robin, who handled our party of 35 people incredibly well. She was organized, attentive, and kept everything running seamlessly.

I also like good chips & coleslaw. I found all 3 here at the Waterfront Taphouse. Yay! (Don't worry they aren't too greasy!). We went here with another couple and enjoyed the beautiful view, even though our table wasn't right next to the window. That is probably due to all the big windows and it's on the 2nd floor of its building. Our server was friendly, and our food came out quickly. Loved the fish & chips, like I indicated above. Why the 4 stars then? My husband, the only one in our party that didn't order fish & chips, didn't love his mahi mahi fish tacos. They looked beautiful but fell short on flavor. He felt they needed more seasoning-they were a little tasteless. He dumped the tiny little cup of salsa on top and asked for more, but he was still disappointed. The fish wasn't salted properly. They also came with "house made" tortilla chips. These were hard and cardboard-like. That's too bad because it's not difficult to cut tortillas and fry them up. I do it at home sometimes. They turn out great. So maybe go to a good Mexican restaurant if you have your heart set on quality tortilla chips. If you want fish & chips though, come here instead of their neighbor to the east (not mentioning any names-you know what it's called). The portions were generous-as they should be for $30. That's the only downside. A little pricey. We shared 2 silk pie slices for dessert. Very dense and dark chocolatey. Good to share-a whole piece is too rich-and I like rich! If not for the fish tacos I would give Waterfront Taphouse 5 stars.

Parking was a little tricky for first timers. Most of the parking is street parking but there in some underground parking available. My friends ordered the filet mignon while I ordered the Sirloin steak medium rare with grilled prawns. We shared the sauteed mushrooms and the crab mac and cheddar cheese. My steak was very good though the outside was a little crispier than I like it. I have eaten Argentinian steak before at another restaurant so i guess this is how it is cooked in Argentina.

From the moment we walked in, the personal touches were amazing. They had personalized our menu, left a signed congratulations card on our table, and even scattered rose petals across the tablecloth. It made an already special night feel truly unforgettable. Our waiter, Scott, was fantastic and funny--he made the entire evening so memorable! Pro tip: Do yourself a favor and specifically ask for Scott when you make your reservation. We ordered from the Prime Hour menu, which is an absolute bargain. You get to choose between soup or salad, two different entrees, and two different desserts. We both went with the seafood Tagliatelle, and wow. It was so rich, generously loaded with halibut, scallops, shrimp, and prosciutto in an incredible lemon pasta sauce. Note for future diners: They do automatically include a 20% service charge on the bill. However, Scott's service was so exceptional that we happily tipped extra on top of it. Save your pennies, do yourself a favor, and book a table ASAP. You won't regret it!
