The BEST one I've ever had. I will be begging the bartenders to teach me their ways before they close their doors. This is our top choice in town to celebrate accomplishments and achievements. The tavern and patio offer a more casual ambiance, while the restaurant itself is chic and has an element of more formality. The staff is always ALWAYS incredible and thoughtful. The food is always on point, interesting, and flavorful. This place will be well-missed come March, but I know I will be back here plenty in the mean time to get my fill and and support this staff before then.

The Waterfront is truly a very special restaurant.

We were so fortunate that they were able to seat us on the outdoor patio facing the water. This restaurant isn't just great for the views--the food and drinks here were phenomenal as well. Our appetizers of beer-battered cheese curds and mussels were so flavorful and hit the spot. We also loved our fish tacos and linguini with scallops (I absolutely loved the crushed red pepper that came with it too!). Our food all paired nicely with their extensive cocktail/drinks menu, which included many different breweries and distilleries. This is one of those restaurants you'll remember visiting forever--definitely come visit if you can!

Wifey got the Rosie 10 breakfast. Two eggs, 2 bacon strips, 2 pancakes and 2 pieces of whole wheat toast. Everything was prepared perfectly. I went with the breakfast sandwich and a cup of fruit. Fried egg, slice of sausage, Swiss cheese on an English muffin. Absolute perfection. Fruit was great too - nice mix of banana, strawberries, blueberries, peaches and tangerine slices. The place is homey and reminds you of an old fashion diner. The staff were friendly and very attentive with coffee. Highly recommend without any reservations. Is a must try establishment BUT be prepared to wait in line. It's that good.

They do have a ATM inside for a 2$ fee which was a tad annoying but it is what it is. After coming in I was quickly sat by a very friendly waitress and she quickly took my order. The food came out pretty quick and it was delicious.. the bacon was probably some of the best restaurant bacon I've ever had, the 6 oz steak was well seasoned and tasted great. Their homemade/sliced potatoes were yummy and crispy. Overall I'd give this place a 5/5 with the only gripe being the cash / atm. I'll be back for sure if I'm in the area!

For breakfast the following day: ** 3 egg omelet with fresh ham, tomatoes and cheese with a side of bacon. ** Biscuits and gravy with an over easy egg. Our food was hot fresh, and delicious. This restaurant/bar is exactly how you picture a locals place to be. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and made us feel at home. We were sad to leave as we felt like we were leaving family.

I wish they came in different sizes and were homemade crust. Otherwise, basic toppings, expensive add-ons, and not many specialty pizzas. Meh. The jukebox in the bar area is soooo loud. It does not "fit" the crowd of old people out trying to visit. They kept coming out to the dining area complaining it was too loud in the other room. Despite the staff's back and forth, we were not greeted or waited on for 20 minutes. We could hear them BSing in the back, but I think they forgot they were at work. We kept closing the door between the bar and dining room and the staff walking in between constantly left it open. The owners need to "read the room" and adjust the jukebox accordingly. We shouldn't have to YELL over dinner. I wear hearing aids and couldn't hear a thing! Food is inconsistent and owner-after being complimented that the food had improved since they opened only argued that it's the same food they had when they opened, which it is not. Shut up and take the compliment!

We shared these things: Small plate with scallops, pork belly, cantaloupe. Pork chop, flattened & breaded & fried, with amazing sauce and fresh green beans. Delicata squash, stuffed with a feta forward filling, with hummus and fresh mushrooms on the plate as well. My descriptions do not adequately capture the depth of flavors & sauces on each plate. So many flavors in pleasing combinations! Finally, this place is a great value. I'm not saying it is cheap. But you can spend this kind of money on much less interesting food.

Both were good, however, it did feel a little on the pricey side. Again, it's not a diner or a family restaurant or anything, but it felt that maybe the food should have been a little fancier for the price. Dining room is large and very clean. Service was great.
